In episode 23 of Van Build Series 2.0, we hack the Starlink Dishy to mount it flat on the roof of the van and convert the wiring from 120v to 12v without cutting any wires. This will allow us to stay connected when we travel up to Canada, down into Mexico, and in the remote places of the US.

It's all made possible with the following components:
* Starmount - https://star-mountsystems.com/products/low-profile-flat-mount-for-rectangle-starlink-dishy
* POE Injector - https://amzn.to/3NQHCsy
* Dishy Cable Adapter to RJ45 - https://amzn.to/3NLYfFL
* USB Pocket Router - https://amzn.to/3CNqMoj
* 12v to 48v Converter - https://amzn.to/42WnpWE
* 12v Switch - https://amzn.to/44ElcR5
