Ever wondered how Starlink RV use really works? It's been one year since we installed our Ultimate Road Warrior Internet System, which is mostly built around Starlink connectivity.







In Episode 509 of the RV Lifestyle RV Podcast, we share the results of how Starlink has performed all across North America. And we also check into the experiences of other Starlink-using RVers who are up here in Nova Scotia with us as part of a 27-day tour of the Canadian Maritimes run by Fantasy RV Tours.







We also have the Social Media Buzz of the Week and answer questions about the food and campgrounds on this Canadian Maritimes Tour we're on.

In a recent post in our RVLifestyle Community's RV & Camping Gear Space, we asked: What one piece of camping gear could you not imagine camping without? This kind of post is always interesting to me, and judging by the large number of responses, I would say others feel the same! Some of the many answers included: A tire pressure monitoring system, good surge protector, water pressure regulator, a gas grill to keep the heat and cooking smells outside the rig, ebikes and by far the item that came up the most was a Berkey Water Filter system - many really love their Berkeys.







Also in the Community, in the Mods & DIY Tweaks Space, Richard shared a picture of a new kitchen table he made that was just stunning. On a trip with a friend earlier this year, his friend broke the table when he sat on it when it was made up as a bed. What to do? 







Richard decided to make a new one. He cut a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood to size, then stained it, sealed it, and applied a rubber edge he bought from Amazon around the edges. He posted a picture in the group and it looked so nice!  We'll post a copy in the show notes. Nice job Richard!







Then over in our RVLifestyle Facebook Group, we had an etiquette question from Jim. Jim asked: "For campgrounds where an employee or host leads you to your site in a golf cart, is it customary to tip them? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong?" I appreciate that Jim wanted to do the right thing and when it comes to tipping, it can be confusing! Obviously, not all campgrounds have someone drive you to your site, but some private resorts definitely do. So what to do?







Well, the majority of the 300 or so responses said no, you do not have to tip. In fact, a couple of people who work as hosts and literally do this job said they do not expect tips and would be shocked to receive one. A couple of people pointed out that many of the larger private campgrounds...
