There is a discussion below on which Apps people are using and I suggested a look at AllStays Camp & RV App but you don't want to have to find a WiFi hotspot if "on the road" to use it to it's full capability. We have Verizon coverage cell phones and before picking up our trailer in September I purchased a WiFi device (called Mifi for "mobile" I think) from the Verizon store. If you have cell phone coverage and turn this on you have WiFi wherever you are, including in your tow vehicle while driving. It is even 4G capable if you are in a 4G area. It is the size of a playing card and about 1/2" thick. They say it will "supply" up to 5 devices simultaneously but I think that would really slow things down. It is password protected of course. It is NOT recommended for video streaming, the monthly fee plan rolls out multiple cash registers if you exceed your plan limits. We have 4GB in our plan (bundled with the phones) and have never exceeded 1.5GB. A lot of parks advertise WiFi capability but my experience is that they are very weak signals and generally quite slow. If I have cell phone coverage I just power this up (it is battery powered but I just plug it into the trailer to keep it fully charged using the DC adaptor) and I have as good a WiFi signal as I do cell phone signal. That is the key of course, no cell phone, no WiFi but the one or two times that has occurred I used the camp WiFi (if available). All the major cell phone companies have this I believe, not just Verizon but the point here is that you can use it while in your TV (pulled over to the side of course if you don't have a designated navigator
