Use this checklist before your first trip or install to make sure nothing is missing. It works for vans, RVs, boats, job sites and emergency kits.
1. Dish and plan
- Starlink dish activated before you travel
- Plan that suits how you will use it, including in motion use if needed
- Starlink app installed and logged in
2. Mount
- Mount matched to your dish model and adapter version (see our mount guide)
- Clear view of the sky checked in the app
- All fixings, clamps and hardware included
- Mount rated for travel if you plan to use it while moving
3. Power
- Primary power source: 12V, USB C, battery or mains supply
- Step up converter or DC adapter where needed
- Fuse and switch for hard wired installs
- Backup battery for outages or remote sites (see our power guide)
4. Cables
- Cable long enough for the full run without strain
- Weatherproof entry point: bulkhead, gland or grommet (see our cable routing guide)

5. Storage and protection
