# How and why you should get wifi in your motorhome or caravan

## This article details how to get wifi installed in your motorhome or caravan. See below for the benefits, advice and requirements for installation.

**Why should I install wifi in my motorhome or caravan?**

- For connection with your smart TV. Please note that all smart TVs require the internet to function correctly. You can "hotspot" your phone to your TV if you have a phone that has that function or use a wifi decoder installed as per these instructions.
- For better speed on your laptop/ smart TV.

**How do I install it?**

- To get Wi-fi in your motorhome or caravan you will need to purchase a mobile data wireless router.  Your internet provider will be able to supply this.
- An external aerial (as fitted standard to every TrailLite motorhome and caravan) will help with your coverage.
- A 12-volt supply will need to be available to plug into your router – if your motorhome doesn’t have this, TrailLite can install this for you. Get in touch with our service centre [here](mailto:servcie@traillite.co.nz) to book, or call 0800 872 455.

**Please note**: While a mobile wireless router should improve the coverage compared to a phone, the internet may not be available in all locations.

 

Mobile Data can be provided by many suppliers, such as Vodafone, Spark etc. NZMCA’s Wired Nation offers a competitive package designed specifically for motorhome and caravan users.
