It is hard trying to decide where to put up topics, as they tend to slide between general and technical, but I have decided that this topic may have more general than tech. Our Jayco has a top loading washing machine, the outlet hose goes into a 40mm stack pipe, open to the interior of the van. The other end...

We are thinking of a sat phone when we hit the road permanently to be used only for emergencies. Would appreciate any advise from those who have one as to most cost effective and practicable way to go. Many thanks in advance, Ron.
