Our Full-Timer VR3 Internet Bundle is a complete mobile connectivity internet solution designed for RV and mobile use. This version 3 update (HW3), released in late 2022, adds a Category 7 cellular modem which increases max upload speeds 150mbps by allowing carrier aggregation to upload and also adds key bands for AT&T and T-Mobile such as Band 71 and Band 14 as well as more bands listed on the spec sheet under the documentation tab. Our team of experts have taken the guesswork out of selecting components and built a complete solution for travelers who wish to stay connected, not worry about always rebooting or troubleshooting consumer-grade disposable equipment. Each bundle comes with a cellular router, a cellular/WiFi/GPS roof antenna, DC direct wire power kit, and optional cellular data plans. 

The Full-Timer Bundle is equipment with a Peplink Max BR1 Mini CAT-7 LTE-Advanced Mobile Router capable of delivering 300mbps of max download speed and 150mbps of upload speed (real-world conditions will vary). This bundle is an excellent fit for those who want a blend of exceptional functionality and value when hitting the road. 

The Full-Timer bundle includes a 5-in-1 roof antenna which will greatly improve cellular and WiFi signals to improve connectivity. Each roof antennas has 5 individual antennas (2 Cellular Antennas, 2 WiFi antennas, and 1 GPS) inside the compact roof housing. Multiple antenna options are available and have slight differences in installation and specifications. Additional information on antenna options is available below. In a hurry? You can get surfing right away before installing the roof antenna by utilizing the included interior antennas. 

You can also utilize the mini's WiFi-As-WAN functionality to connect to external WiFi sources, enable the WAN port, enable hot failover and more with an active Primecare license. Primecare licenses are non-refundable.

Peplink's proprietary multi-WAN technology allows this modem to utilize the onboard cellular LTE modem, a public WiFi hotspot (WiFi-as-WAN) or a secondary wired internet connection (Starlink, cable modem, DSL, etc.) as the source for Internet connectivity. The Peplink Max BR1 Mini is capable of load balancing multiple internet connections across multiple devices and is easily managed within the web-based management dashboard.

Category 7 Modem

This mobile router is equipped with one or more category 7 LTE Advanced cellular modems with a maximum download speed of 300Mbps and a maximum upload speed of 150Mbps (typical speeds range from 10-75mbps depending on cellular network conditions and coverage). The category of the modem impacts the maximum upload and download speed of the device and what cellular bands or "channels" the device can connect to. Cellular bands act similarly to "channels" on television, each cellular provider broadcasts on specific bands. Category 7 modems support connecting to the primary bands of all major carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T and include additional LTE secondary bands for increased speed and coverage in many areas. This includes access to Band 14, AT&T's FirstNET band and Band 71 for TMobile's rural band. For a complete list of bands supported, click the documentation tab for detailed specifications.


Category 7 modems are extremely popular as they blend strong performance and maximum data plan compatibility and value. Category 7 modems are very popular for mobile workers and for those who consider the internet "mission-critical" as they come in many dual modem mobile routers capable of bonding. Category 7 modems are capable of video calling, VOIP, streaming,  general internet use, and, when paired with a dual modem capable device, support bonding of multiple cellular connections. See SpeedFusion section for more information.

Supports WiFi-as-WAN

This device supports WiFi-As-WAN, meaning you can pick up public WiFi signals from hotspots, campgrounds, and other sources to rebroadcast them into your coach and use them as your local internet. The wireless antennas included with this modem will pick up these signals and rebroadcast them locally within your own WiFi network. 

*Using public WiFi may be unreliable due to external environmental forces typically outside of customer's control and as such public WiFi is recommended to be used as a secondary backup connection. 

No Ground Plane Required!

The antennas on this page do not require a ground plane, but adding one will typically improve performance if your installation will allow it. Ground planes are metal sheets of metal (typically aluminum or galvanized steel) that the antenna mounts on top of. For optimal performance a ground plane of a minimum of 16" in diameter is typically recommended. The ground plane does not need to be grounded or wired to the chassis ground of the vehicle, the metal sheet simply helps the cellular and WiFi signals bounce into the antenna optimizing performance. Ground planes are available in various sizes on our store including a flexible adhesive ground plane or a 16 inch aluminum ground plane. For more information on ground planes visit the Ground Plane Guide on Mobile Internet Resource Center.

Get Connected with MMH Data Plans

MobileMustHave is proud to announce we now have high-speed, high GB data plans available exclusively to our customers. Traditional cellular plans available directly from the carriers have data caps that are not suitable for active travelers. We have negotiated the ability to provide high gigabyte cellular data plans that operate on the top national networks. Take the guesswork out of activating other plans that don't work or are not authorized to work on our cellular routers with data plans from MobileMustHave. Our plans are ready to activate when your ready to travel and have no contracts so keep as long as you need and cancel anytime. 

Which Roof Antenna is Right for Me?


We have a variety of choices for roof antennas based on your particular installation need. In general, higher priced antennas have better performance and are future proofed for newer technology, such as Nationwide 5G, making upgrades down the road easier. Higher performance antennas may be larger, so size and installation requirements is a consideration. We offer a variety of options for customers with unique installation requirements, mounting requirements, brand or budget preference. We have put together our 5-in-1 Antenna Comparison Chart to help aid in your decision as well as a video outlining some top choices. Still not sure?

FirstNet Ready

This device is FirstNet Ready! FirstNet is the nationwide public safety communications platform dedicated to America's first responders. Being built with AT&T, in public-private partnership with the FirstNet Authority, FirstNet utilizes Band-14, which is reserved for public safety but is also being marketed as available to the public for additional bandwidth capacity. In testing Band-14 has been made available during non-emergency situations to the public to provide additional bandwidth and coverages to customers who have a modem that supports FirstNet's Band-14. Not all modems that support Band-14 are "FirstNet Certified" however they typically can connect to Band-14 in most areas. Information on FirstNet certifications can be found on Specification sheets located on the Documentation Tab. Additional information about FirstNet's use and technology can be found in this article from our friends at the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center.

    Parsec Doberman 5-1 Antenna Installation

    I have installed the antenna on our RV and did not have any problems. I did make a stand and groundplane for the antenna and bolted it to the roof. So far it seems to be preforming just fine.

    Parsec Doberman

    I have not installed this antenna yet but I am sure it will work just fine. I gave it three stars because I do not like, nor was I aware, that all cables exit the antenna at the base middle in one large and bulky loom

    I would have preferred the antenna loom to be channeled flush within the base and then exit from a side. Would have been a much cleaner design and would have provided more installation options.

    Thank you for providing us with your honest feedback on the Doberman. I reviewed the listing page and I noticed that there aren't any photos that show the cables and how they exit the antenna. I'll reach out to our dev team and see if we can get a new photo added to the page.

    That being said, this is pretty common practice for many cellular antennas. Parsec and Poynting are 2 of the largest manufacturers of these kinds of antennas, and nearly all of their omnidirectional antennas have this kind cable exit configuration. One potential solution: Parsec also makes mounting attachments for nearly all of their antennas, including the Doberman:

    Adding one of the mounting brackets should give you some more flexibility for routing the cables.

    I also want to mention that we have a customer service team and a support staff that are here 5 days a week, from 9-6 (EST). Feel free to hop into our chat room or shoot us an email if you have any questions about different mounting options. We're here to help if you need us.

    Peplink Max BR1 mini

    Great device. 4 stars only because it was sent with an older version of software. I had some issues downloading the newest version but the tech support I received was 5 stars. All US based!

    Thanks for the feedback! This happens sometimes because Peplink sends us devices with their current firmware at that point in time. Peplink generally releases several updates a year, as they are always innovating and improving their products. If the device sits in our warehouse for a little while, the software might be a bit outdated when a customer receives it. We don't open the box and update it before we ship.

    That said, the firmware update process is relatively straightforward, and our Support Team is always here to help with that process if needed. Don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need help with something like this. We want setup and device management to be as smooth and simple as possible for our customers.

    DC Power

    I much prefer to power my routers from the DC, so I do not get any interruptions when switching from pedestal power, to inverter, to generator and back. These cables are well made, and work perfectly, I highly recommend if you plan to run off DC.

    Works great

    Easy set-up. Had trouble getting Verizon to accept the device, but no problem with T-Mobile. Works as intended. Haven't had the opportunity to try in remote areas
