These days, cell carriers are pretty clear that they don't want you using mobile internet as an alternative to hardline broadband. With the exception of Verizon's weird smart hub router monstrosity, there's nothing that provides a useful amount of mobile data for a good price.

Or at least there isn't if you're not a member of the Family Motor Coach Association. The FMCA has negotiated a special deal with Verizon for RC owners that gives you a Novatel MiFi 7730L wireless hotspot for free, and lets you have unlimited wireless internet (with a soft deprioritization threshold) for $50 a month.
