We are so super super pleased to announce – The Mobile Internet Handbook – 2014 US RVers Edition is now available in all formats!
PDF, Kindle, iBooks and now PRINT!
That means the book is now FULLY LAUNCHED!
Creating the print edition took a little more effort than we predicted, but we wanted it done right.
We went through several rounds of tweaking and ordering proofs. The process takes a week each time to get a physical copy in our hands to approve. We finally got a version back that we were happy with and felt would delight our readers – and at last called it done!
Last week, our friends camped here with us at Cape Blanco State Park volunteered to help us package up all of the pre-orders from the funding campaign, and we happily shipped them out on Friday!
And now, the print edition is available to everyone to order on Amazon! Suggested retail price is $19.99, but Amazon will vary the price at their discretion.
This version has been beautifully & meticulously formatted for 6×9″ paperback, and comes in at 234 pages full of information on cellular, WiFi, satellite, enhancing the signal, installation tips, international travel, and more!
Compared to the 2013 print edition of just 87 pages, this is a HUGE update and expansion.
Thank you to our Supporters!
This has been a tremendous undertaking and a huge labor of love for us – the book has been the focus of our lives since May. And we really are super proud of how well the end product came out.
We’re still in a bit of disbelief at the amount of support we received during our pre-sale funding campaign that made devoting so much effort possible.
There’s just simply no way we could have afforded to take so much time away from other projects to focus on doing this book right without having had so much support in advance. It helped us set aside our own time, as well as upfront the cash to pay for professional graphics and editing. So thank you again to all of our supporters who put your trust in us to carry through with this – we, and RVers across the country, can’t thank you enough!
Now that the book is done, we’ll be putting more attention into creating content for our brand new RV Mobile Internet Resource Center.
To give you a taste, here’s some of the recent major news posts that we’ve been tracking this past month:

But the Big News of this post: THE BOOK IS DONE!!!
Congrats!
Now I know where to look, come next summer when I hope to start heading into these waters.
Congrats on the book! Looking forward to picking one up.
My husband and I were hoping to meet you while you were in Cape Blanco. We live in Coos Bay. Maybe next year! Happy travels!
With all the miles you’ve covered this year, and all the projects you’ve had in the works, and completed, I stands to reason your need to take some time off for yourselves. Wow! It’s been a year and and a half in less than one! Lol!
Anyway, congrats on the release of such a massive update and expansion. Even tho it’s been a hectic time I’m sure you gotta be dealing a great sense of accomplishment as well. Rightfully so, I must add. 🙂
