Caravan and Motorhome Mobile Internet

Choosing the right mobile internet system for your caravan or motorhome

On-site WiFi is rarely reliable, so a dedicated mobile internet system is the difference between buffering and a stable connection. A dual SIM router paired with an external roof antenna pulls in 4G and 5G signal that a phone hotspot simply cannot match, spreading it across every device inside your leisure vehicle. This guide explains how the parts fit together and how to pick the right kit for how you travel.

What a mobile internet kit includes

Every system in this collection is built around two core parts working together for the best possible signal.

• Dual SIM router. The hub that accepts two data SIMs and automatically favours the network with the strongest reception.
• External roof antenna. A high gain MiMo aerial mounted on the roof to capture distant masts that internal antennas miss.
• Connection cabling. Low loss coax and power leads to link the antenna to the router and the router to your 12V supply.

4G CAT ratings and 5G explained

Router speed is governed by its modem category. Higher CAT numbers and 5G support allow faster downloads where the network permits.

• 4G CAT 4. A dependable baseline for browsing, email and standard definition streaming at popular sites.
• 4G CAT 6. Carrier aggregation combines bands for noticeably quicker speeds and smoother high definition video.
• 5G ready. Access to 5G masts for the fastest throughput, ideal for remote working and multiple heavy users.

Dual SIM flexibility

Two SIM slots let you load data from different networks, so if one provider has weak coverage at a site the router falls back to the other. Frequent tourers often run a UK SIM alongside a European data SIM to avoid roaming gaps. This redundancy is the single biggest reason a fixed router beats relying on one phone.

Brand quality at a glance

We focus on proven leisure connectivity hardware rather than generic imports. The core range is built by Avtex.

• Avtex AMR104P. Dual SIM 4G CAT 6 router supplied with a portable 4G and 5G antenna kit.
• Avtex AMR105P. Dual SIM 5G WiFi 6 router with a portable antenna for the fastest mobile speeds.
• Avtex antenna range. High gain roof aerials engineered to match the AMR router series for peak performance.

Compatibility and fitting

These systems are designed for straightforward installation in any 12V leisure vehicle. Check the following before you order.

• Power supply. Routers run from a 12V DC feed, so plan a fused connection to your leisure battery or a dedicated socket.
• Antenna mounting. Roof aerials need a flat or corrugated mounting point with a short cable run to the router.
• SIM cards. Standard data SIMs are required for each slot and are not included, giving you a free choice of network.
• WiFi coverage. Position the router centrally so its WiFi 6 signal reaches every corner of the van.

Setup and everyday use

Once the antenna is mounted and the router is powered, insert your SIMs and connect devices to the new WiFi network. The router manages band selection automatically, so there is little to adjust day to day. For most owners it becomes a permanent fixture that switches on with the habitation electrics.

Getting the best signal on site

• Park with a clear view. Fewer trees and buildings between the roof antenna and the mast means stronger reception.
• Keep the antenna high. Roof mounting always beats an internal aerial for range and stability.
• Use both SIMs. Loading two networks widens the chance of a strong signal at any given pitch.
