For many years, people have enjoyed traveling across country in their vehicles, exploring the land they live in. This love of travel led to the invention of the RV, or Recreational Vehicle. The RV is like a small house on wheels. You can take with you all the conveniences of home, from a queen-size bed to a hot shower to a refrigerator and stove, with you as you drive along. Traveling by RV gives you the ability to stop whenever and wherever you want and not worry about hotels and restaurants.

Until recently, however, there has been one problem that RV owners weren't able to figure out, and that was??how to watch the baseball game or favorite sitcom while far from home. Frustrated RV owners would get out the "bunny ears" antenna, covered with tinfoil, and jiggle them around on top of their TVs, trying to get just one channel. One man, Bob Stacey, eventually got so frustrated with not being able to watch what he wanted that he invented a motorized satellite dish that he could use on his RV.

That was the beginning. Bob then formed a company called MotoSat and began selling his creation to other RV owners. The product caught on, and soon other companies began to manufacture RV satellite dishes. Dishes available today allow RV owners access to HDTV, hundreds of channels, movies, and, most of all, a crystal clear picture.

MotoSAT and other companies now offer a satellite Internet service that RV owners can use. With the availability of satellite TV and Internet, RV owners can extend their vacations, because they don't need to return home to catch up on what is going on at the office, and they can watch the last game of the World Series from wherever they happen to be.

These devices are easy to install and operate, and help RV owners to feel connected to their home life while traveling. If you have been wanting to travel but don't like sleeping in a tent or hotel, try renting or buying an RV. You can now have all the comforts of home with you, including TV and Internet, whether you are in Texas or Alaska!
