I've been doing a bit of poking around Mike. I haven't seen anything definitive about whether the Transit based vehicles, RV or otherwise, have wi-fi though I suppose it's possible with some of the option packages.
The Transit is wifi compatible, I carry a portable cell hot spot with us when we travel and so the Sync 3 system does have internet access when we are on the road depending, of course, on the availability of cell signals where we are. One of the things we do is travel a lot in truly rural areas and often there is no signal for dozens of miles or more.
We make the trip from El Paso to San Antonio a couple of times a year and there is no cell signal for much of the trip through the Texas panhandle. We have driven through the area near Death Valley, Ca and found no cell signal of any kind for perhaps 50-75 miles. We go into the mountains of New Mexico and although the cities around the mountains have cell service the mountains block that out and we have none. I suppose that is the reason that the RV comes with a gps navigation system, and that works where ever we go. Still, I find Waze to be more helpful when we do have a signal.
That is one nice ride. I've got a birthday coming up in a few months if you are looking for birthday gifts.
;D
We do like it, but at only 24 feet it is small, and is really only for 2 people. We decided to get something that would be easy to drive and reasonably economical and it gets about 18+ mpg with the Ford Diesel so using it is not terribly expensive. And we got last year's model so it did not cost too much when we bought it.
Where we live in southern Arizona RVs are so common that they almost seem like second cars, but most of the people have much larger units, Class A RVs, which are usually 35 feet long or longer, and many have Toy Haulers that they use to carry their ATVs and such, so you might want something a bit fancier and bigger than our poor little RV.
From what I can see when we travel there are a lot of RVs in Louisiana as well. We have traveled through there on our way to New Orleans and the Florida panhandle where I used to live years ago, and RVs seem fairly common there.
One thing I have noticed is that car manufacturers have been a bit slow to catch up to the electronics revolution and the ever-present internet. Our car, which is a 2016, has no connectivity at all other than the ability to use the mobile phone for calls through the car's interface. The 2018 Transit allows for wifi if the user has a hot spot and can run CarPlay and Android Auto but the new cars now apparently have built-in routers to allow the vehicle itself to serve as a hot spot. The manufacturers were slow, but they finally got there.
And thank you for your help in this issue. I greatly appreciate it.
