Best caravan WiFi solutions

In this part, we’ve taken a look at five of the best caravan WiFi products you can buy right now, and explained how to choose between them.

1. Three 4G/5G Hub

Using the Three 4G or 5G Hub, you can get your own internet connection independent of caravan site WiFi, using the Three mobile network.

This means you can get online from almost anywhere in the UK, and don’t have to worry about evening congestion or other problems with inconsistent internet performance at different caravan parks.

With the 4G Hub, you can normally get download speeds of 30-50 Mbps, which is more than enough for watching TV and most other online activities. Their 5G Hub normally offers 200-300 Mbps or more, but 5G is not as widely available as 4G at most caravan sites.

Three includes unlimited data with all of their wireless home broadband plans, and their hubs are also very easy to set up, as long as you have a 230V power socket available.

Once you insert the SIM card into the router and plug it in, it will connect to 4G or 5G to establish an internet connection. Then, the hub will create a WiFi hotspot just like any other WiFi router, allowing you to easily get online on multiple devices at once.

The default contract length is 24 months, but you can also choose a 1 month or 12 month plan (on the 5G Hub at least) if you’d prefer. And given that they come with unlimited data, Three’s prices on these plans are very reasonable – this is one of the cheapest ways of getting online from a caravan at the moment.

The one thing to check before buying the 4G Hub or 5G Hub is that you have good Three mobile signal in your area, or in areas you often travel to in your caravan. You can do this using their network coverage map.

Pros

• Allows you to get your own internet connection, separate from caravan site WiFi.
• Very low monthly cost.
• Offers good WiFi and fast speeds if you have good signal.
• Includes unlimited data.

Cons

• Requires being plugged into a mains socket at all times.

2. Three 4G MiFi device

Three’s mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) plans work in a very similar way to their 4G/5G Hub deals we just discussed.

This device also allows you to get online almost anywhere, has very low monthly costs, and comes with unlimited data as standard.

However, Three’s 4G MiFi hotspot is battery-powered, and can be recharged via USB, rather than needing to be plugged into a mains socket.

This makes it much more portable, and the device is quite small (like a thick credit card sort of shape), making it potentially more convenient if you’re constantly on the go.

The downside to the small form-factor is the WiFi signal and speeds of Three 4G MiFi aren’t quite as good as with the 4G Hub.

If getting the best possible performance is most important to you, and you have a mains socket available, we’d recommend the 4G Hub or 5G Hub instead of using mobile Wi-Fi. However, Three MiFi is a great choice if you want a more portable caravan WiFi solution.

It’s also worth mentioning, Three also has a very similar 5G device available, which offers speeds of around 100-150 Mbps from our testing in an area with strong 5G signal. This device will connect to 4G if 5G isn’t available.

Pros

• Very portable and easy to use.
• Comes with unlimited data.
• Gives you your own internet connection accessible almost anywhere.

Cons

• Not as good WiFi signal/speeds as using a 4G or 5G router.

3. Maxview Roam

This device from Maxview is not cheap, but it can allow you to get strong internet signal in your caravan, using either WiFi or 4G/5G.

This is a weatherproof antenna you install externally on your caravan or motorhome, or you can arrange for professional installation from Maxview if you prefer.

Once installed, the antenna will connect to the internet in one of two ways.

The first option is to connect to caravan site WiFi – using the antenna, you’ll get a stronger signal than you would connecting from your phone, iPad, or other devices directly. Or, you can choose to install a SIM card in the device (which you’ll need to pay for separately), and the Maxview Roam will connect to 4G or 5G instead.

No matter how it gets internet access, the antenna will then connect to a WiFi router you install inside the caravan, which is included in the kit, creating a WiFi hotspot you can use to get online.

Ultimately, this antenna is a great way to get strong internet signal and speeds in your caravan, and it’s great that it allows you to boost an existing WiFi network, as well as use 4G or 5G.

However, the installation process is a bit involved, and the kit is quite expensive. Plus, if you use the Roam with a SIM, you’ll have to pay even more in ongoing costs for the data plan.

Pros

• Allows you to boost a caravan site WiFi connection.
• Supports 4G/5G.
• Offers fast speeds and good WiFi signal.

Cons

• Expensive.
• Involved installation process.

4. Hotspot with a Three Data SIM

Depending on where in the UK you like to travel with your caravan, and how often you need to get online, you may like to consider setting up a hotspot on your mobile phone, rather than buying a dedicated WiFi device.

Most modern smartphones can create a WiFi network you can connect other devices to, under a setting known as “Mobile Hotspot” or similar. This allows your phone to share its mobile data with other handsets, computers, tablets, and more.

However, you might find that you run out of data allowance quite quickly if you do this, so it can be worth buying a separate SIM card to use for hotspotting.

We tend to recommend Three for this, because they have the lowest prices of any of the major networks, and also offer the UK’s fastest average 5G speeds.

The one issue with using your phone’s hotspot is your speeds and WiFi signal won’t be the fastest, especially compared to using a 4G or 5G router like the ones Three offers.

However, this is generally one of the cheapest ways to get online from your caravan, even if you do need to buy a new SIM plan.

Pros

• Simple, easy to set up solution.
• Cheapest way of getting online from a caravan.
• Great solution if you don’t use your caravan often.

Cons

• Doesn’t offer the best speeds.

5. Starlink Satellite Broadband

There are a number of reasons we don’t normally recommend satellite internet to caravan users, though it can be worth considering in some cases.

The first issue with this type of service is its price. Starlink is the only real provider on the market at the moment, and their monthly costs are four to five times more expensive than getting a mobile broadband solution, especially if you want unlimited data.

There are also very high upfront costs associated with buying and installing the satellite dish, making Starlink much more expensive to get started with compared to other caravan internet solutions.

If you’re not in a static caravan, you’ll need to pay even more for a special Roam plan, and you’ll also need to recalibrate the satellite every time you move, ensuring your line of sight to the horizon is not blocked by obstacles such as trees.

However, despite these downsides, Starlink does tend to deliver fast download and upload speeds, in most areas at least.

Plus, this technology also offers internet connectivity in extremely remote parts of the UK with no 4G or 5G signal.

• Offers fast speeds.

Cons

• Very expensive.
• The process of installing the dish (for static caravans) or recalibrating it every time you move (for touring caravans) is a bit involved.

How to choose a caravan internet solution

In this section, we’ll explain some key things to consider when deciding how best to get internet in your caravan.

Different ways to get online from a caravan

Here are the main ways to get online from a caravan, and the differences between them.

1. 4G and 5G routers

4G and 5G routers work just like a regular WiFi router you’d use at home, except they take a SIM card, rather than connecting to a phone socket or broadband port.

They’re often a great choice for caravanning because they offer good WiFi signal and download speeds, and can be used anywhere in the UK – as long as you have 4G or 5G signal where you’re located.

5G routers will pick up 4G signal if they cannot find 5G, but 4G routers only support 4G download and upload speeds.

2. Mobile Wi-Fi (MiFi) devices

MiFi devices work in a very similar way to 4G and 5G routers, except they come with a battery, rather than needing to be plugged into a power socket.

This makes them more portable, and potentially more convenient if you don’t have a lot of free power sockets in your caravan. Normally, mobile Wi-Fi devices can be recharged using a USB cable.

However, the downside to this type of tech is it doesn’t support as fast speeds or as good WiFi performance as a 4G or 5G router, especially if you have multiple devices connected to the hotspot at once.

3. Caravan park WiFi

Most caravan parks offer a WiFi network you can pay to use, and you might get free access as a part of your membership fee.

The problem with this solution is, you might have weak signal, depending on where your caravan or motorhome is located relative to where the WiFi is being broadcast from.

Also, caravan park WiFi is prone to becoming congested during busy periods, resulting in poor performance at certain times of day. This usually occurs in the evenings, when lots of people get online to watch TV at the same time.

You can solve the weak signal issue with a signal extender like the Maxview device we reviewed earlier in this article. However, this cannot overcome issues with slow caravan site WiFi due to congestion on the network.

4. Satellite internet

We often receive questions from people considering using satellite internet to get online from their caravans, as an alternative to 4G or 5G.

However, there are a few issues with products like Starlink:

• Satellite internet is very expensive to get set up with due to the cost of buying the dish, and the monthly costs are about five times higher than using a 5G router like the Three 5G Hub, assuming you need unlimited data.
• If you have a static caravan, mounting the satellite dish is quite an involved process, unless you are experienced with similar DIY projects.
• If you often move around in your caravan, you will need to set up and calibrate the dish each time you move, and ensure that you park somewhere the horizon is not blocked by trees or other obstacles.

The benefit of satellite internet though is it’s sometimes the only way to get online in very remote locations not covered by the UK’s mobile networks.

Should you use a 4G or 5G caravan WiFi solution?

We think that in most cases, using 4G or 5G is the best way to get online from a caravan, because:

• It allows you to get your own internet connection, completely independent of caravan site WiFi.
• It’s very easy to buy and get set up with.
• It’s relatively inexpensive, especially with a provider like Three.

However, before buying a mobile broadband solution for your caravan, you need to check the mobile signal in the area(s) you’ll be staying, to ensure you get good download and upload speeds, and a consistent internet connection.

To do this, have a look at the coverage maps of the networks you’re considering, and put in a few postcodes that you often park your caravan – here’s Three’s coverage map as an example.

You can also use the maps to check how likely you are to get 5G signal, helping you decide whether you’re better off buying a 4G or 5G router or MiFi device.

How much does caravan WiFi cost?

The cost of getting consistent internet in your caravan will depend on the solution you use.

• 4G/5G internet from a provider like Three normally costs about £15-£25 per month, with zero upfront costs. Other networks normally charge more, especially if you want unlimited data.
• A caravan WiFi signal booster normally costs around £300-£400 including installation, and will require you continue paying for caravan site WiFi (unless it’s included with your caravan park membership).
• Satellite internet solutions normally cost around £100 per month, with a £200-£300 upfront fee to buy the satellite dish. Note that with Starlink for example, you will need their more expensive “Roam” plan if you want to move around in your caravan, since their normal service is designed for use at a single location only.

Getting online in a static vs touring caravan

Static caravans

If you’re in a static caravan, finding the best way to get online is generally a bit easier.

It’s fairly simple to look at your location on a mobile network coverage map, and see if you get good 4G or 5G signal. If you do, choosing a 4G/5G router will probably be the best solution.

Or, if you’re set up in a holiday home or caravan park, you might know that the provided internet service is fast, meaning it is not affected by congestion, but you are too far away to receive strong signal. In this case, installing an antenna or signal receiver may make the most sense.

Touring caravans

If you often move around in your caravan, finding the perfect internet solution is a bit more tricky.

It is generally not a good idea to rely on caravan site WiFi, because it can vary massively in consistency and quality from location to location.

On the other hand, ensuring you have good 4G or 5G signal can also be challenging if you’re often moving to different locations.

Despite this, we still think using mobile broadband is the best way to get online in a touring caravan, because 4G at least is generally available throughout most of the UK, even in remote areas.

Before buying though, it is definitely worth checking the mobile network’s coverage maps at a few places you like to visit, to ensure you’ll get good speeds.

What speeds will I get with caravan WiFi, and will this be enough?

The speeds you’ll be able to get from your caravan again depend on the type of solution you choose:

• 4G normally offers 20-50 Mbps (higher with 4G routers compared to 4G MiFi).
• 5G normally offers 50-300 Mbps (higher with 5G routers compared to 5G MiFi).
• Caravan site WiFi can be quite variable, but typically ranges from 10-50 Mbps, depending on how big the site is, and how many people are online when you’re using it.
• Satellite internet normally offers 30-200 Mbps, but can again be quite variable, and tends to have higher latency than mobile broadband.

Fortunately, for most things you might want to do online, you don’t actually need superfast broadband speeds.

Assuming only one device is online at once:

• Basic activities like browsing the web and reading emails only require about a 2-5 Mbps download speed.
• Watching high-definition (1080p) video only requires about 5-10 Mbps.
• Watching ultra HD (4K) video requires about 25-30 Mbps.

The problem with caravan site WiFi is, you may see adequate speeds a lot of the time, but its performance might be inconsistent, which can lead to buffering when streaming video for example.

How much monthly data do I need?

Some types of caravan internet solutions often come with monthly data limits, unless you pay more for unlimited usage.

Therefore, you might be wondering how much data you really need, and if it’s worth paying more to avoid a usage cap.

The main things this depends on are what you do online, and how often you use the internet.

• In any given month, if you’re often staying in your caravan for two weeks or more, and often stream video (such as watching YouTube or Netflix) you will most likely want unlimited data.
• If you only normally use the caravan for a week or less each month, you might be able to get away with a 50-100GB monthly data limit, provided you’re not working from home, and not watching huge quantities of online videos.
• If you don’t really stream videos online, download large files, or otherwise do anything very data-intensive, you might be fine with a 10-30GB monthly data limit, depending on how much you use the caravan.

Getting online overseas from your caravan

Most 4G and 5G routers (as well as MiFi devices) are currently sold unlocked, meaning they can be used on any mobile network.

Therefore, if you often travel overseas to countries like France in your caravan, the best solution is normally to buy a foreign SIM card on arrival, and use it with your mobile broadband device.

You can sometimes also roam abroad with your UK mobile provider, however this can be very expensive, and normally there are quite strict roaming limits, preventing you from using your full data allowance overseas.
