We are doing some long range travel soon and want to be able to use internet for travel planning, streaming, etc. We know about Starlink, but its a bit expensive. Weve become aware of Nighthawk. Love positive and/or helpful messages to help us decide. Cheers.

Does anyone know how to remove the front boot lid (golden eagle pop top) ? I have removed the gas struts for replacement but cannot work out how to slide the lid off.
