Starlink - Fixed installation of the standard antenna (Part 2)
last updated on June 13, 2023 About five weeks ago we modified the Starlink standard antenna and installed it flat on the roof of our four-wheel drive motorhome, see Starlink – Permanent installation of the standard kit antenna in the motorhome. Since then we have gained valuable experience and have been able to make improvements based on it.

Starlink in the 4×4 camper – important facts
last updated on June 14, 2023 A preliminary note: Starlink is a very dynamic company. Changes were made often and numerously in the past, e.g. in relation to the service contract, the prices and the technology/hardware.

Tire pressure control system - self-built prototype
If you leave paved roads with your vehicle, you should adjust the tire pressure in many cases. Tire pressure control systems can be used to reduce and increase tire pressure comfortably and quickly, even with large-volume tires. However, the latter can be quite expensive to purchase and install. We have therefore decided to build a simple system ourselves...

Starlink - operation with 12V DC / 24V DC and without Starlink router in the mobile home
See updates to this post. As previously described, we installed the Starlink standard kit antenna permanently on the roof of our motorhome. Now the Starlink router supplied with the antenna can only be operated on 230V AC. Furthermore, we have already installed well-functioning network components in the cabin and do not need an additional router. Inspired…

Starlink - Fixed installation of the standard kit antenna in the motorhome
Please also note the update Starlink – permanent installation of the standard antenna (Part 2) The Starlink service “Travel” (in English: “Roam”, used to mean “camper” or “RV”) is a well-rounded affair for us. For EUR 100 per month you can have unlimited data traffic anywhere (with an active Starlink service) on a best-effort basis (i.e. without guaranteed data throughput).

Bayernluft - ventilation unit with heat exchanger in the mobile home

Bliss MAN: Additional all-season wheel set
Our Bliss MAN was delivered from the factory with Michelin XZL 2 tires measuring 395/85R20 and load index 168 on snap ring rims 10.00-20. While this is an excellent (and good-looking) tire for unpaved roads (especially able to cope with low air pressures), on the one hand it suffers on paved roads (consequences include "sawtooth formation" and low...

Bliss MAN: Corrosion protection for the new four-wheel motorhome
With the previous all-wheel drive mobile home, the Hymer ML-T 580, we only had corrosion protection applied after three salt-intensive winters - by then, quite a few spots under the vehicle were already rusting. With the new Bliss MAN, the protection should be applied before the first cold season - i.e. with a vehicle that is still almost new/clean with significantly less effort from the...
