Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ'S

What does the RV WiFi Dishy Dock do?

The RV WiFi Dishy Dock is a mounting and connection system that allows your Starlink Dishy to be permanently and neatly integrated into your RV, caravan, or motorhome. It provides a weather-proof external connection point so the Dishy can stay outside while data and power pass safely inside using Ethernet cabling. This avoids running cables through windows or doors and keeps your setup clean and secure.

What is Dishy Dock Power and why do I need it?

Dishy Dock Power is the 12-volt power conversion unit that powers your Starlink Dishy directly from your RV’s battery system. Starlink normally requires 240 V AC power, but Dishy Dock Power removes the need for an inverter by converting 12 V DC straight to the correct power for the Dishy, making the system more efficient and battery-friendly.

Do Dishy Dock and Dishy Dock Power work together?

Yes. They are designed to be used together:

  • Dishy Dock handles the physical connection and data pass-through
  • Dishy Dock Power handles efficient 12 V power delivery

Together, they allow your Starlink system to run entirely off your RV battery while delivering internet to your internal Wi-Fi router.

Do I still need the Starlink router or an inverter?

No inverter is required when using Dishy Dock Power. Many users also bypass the standard Starlink router and instead connect the system directly to an RV Wi-Fi router (4G/5G compatible). This allows better internal coverage, lower power use, and the option to switch between Starlink and mobile data automatically.

Why is this setup better than running Starlink on 240 V in an RV?

Using Dishy Dock and Dishy Dock Power is better because it:

  • Saves battery power by avoiding inefficient DC-to-AC-to-DC conversion
  • Reduces cable clutter and setup time
  • Allows permanent installation
  • Improves reliability for off-grid travel
  • Makes Starlink practical for long-term remote camping and touring

This setup is ideal for full-time RVers, remote workers, and anyone relying on Starlink away from mains power.

Why RVWiFi Is a Game-Changer for Caravan Connectivity

While Starlink provides fast satellite internet, it’s RVWiFi that transforms that connection into a complete, caravan-ready network. RVWiFi specialises in integrating Starlink with professional-grade routers and mobile data solutions to deliver reliable, seamless internet wherever you travel in Australia.

RVWiFi systems are designed to work with multiple internet sources, including:

  • Starlink satellite internet
  • 4G and 5G mobile data routers
  • External antennas for improved reception

Instead of relying on a single connection, RVWiFi routers intelligently manage and distribute internet across your caravan -ensuring smooth performance for work, streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing.

How RVWiFi Integrates Starlink into Your Caravan

Smarter Routers for Stronger, More Reliable Internet

Standard routers aren’t built for caravans, metal walls, or off-grid travel. RVWiFi routers are purpose-built to handle these challenges by offering:

  • Automatic failover between Starlink and mobile data

    If Starlink is obstructed by trees, weather, or terrain, your RVWiFi router can automatically switch to 4G or 5G—keeping you connected without interruption.
  • Stronger internal WiFi coverage

    RVWiFi routers and access points overcome signal loss caused by caravan construction, delivering consistent WiFi throughout your living space.
  • Support for multiple devices at once

    Laptops, smart TVs, phones, tablets, and security systems can all run smoothly without congestion or buffering.
  • Advanced network control and security

    Including firewalls, device prioritisation, guest networks, and VPN support—features not available on basic routers.
  • Optimised for off-grid power systems

    Designed to integrate with 12V systems, solar setups, and battery management for efficient power use.
