Keeping the van connected

Working out how to stay connected on the road without making everything too complicated.

Part of the van project is figuring out how to stay connected when we’re away. I have a GL.iNet router for mobile data and a Starlink Mini for places where that makes sense.

As ever, getting the bits talking to each other is only part of the job. I’m also interested in how much power they use and how to switch things off when we don’t need them. There’s no point building a clever setup that quietly flattens the battery.
