Three years ago, my wife and I sold our house, traded our lawnmower for a solar panel, and hit the open road in our fifth wheel. Retirement was our ticket to freedom — the kind that comes with mountain sunrises, coastal drives, and national parks as your backyard.
We were ready for simplicity. For nature. For life on our terms.
But what we weren’t ready for was the frustration of staying connected.
See, the romantic idea of “unplugging” doesn’t always hold up when your bank statements are online, your grandkids live on FaceTime, and you need to refill prescriptions through a portal. We didn’t want to scroll TikTok — we just wanted basic, reliable Wi-Fi.
And we rarely found it.
From Disconnect to Disappointment
Most RV parks we visited claimed to offer “free Wi-Fi.” In reality, that meant you had to walk half a mile to the office and hope nobody else was streaming. We carried a hotspot, but that didn’t work in the remote places we loved most — the very places we retired to explore.
We spent hours parked near laundromats or small-town libraries just to update apps or send an email. I even bought a Wi-Fi extender, but it felt like using a fishing pole to catch the internet.
Until we rolled into Colorado Heights Camping Resort last fall.
The Day We Met the Nomad Titan
From the start, we could tell something was different. The front desk clerk didn’t give us a complicated speech about where the signal might work. She just smiled and said:
“The whole park has free Wi-Fi. It’s powered by Nomad Titan. You’re already connected.”
She wasn’t exaggerating.
I opened my iPad and saw full bars — not near the office, but at our shaded site at the edge of the woods. My wife video-called our daughter while I pulled up Google Maps without a second of lag. No logins. No passwords. No stress.
That was the first time in months I felt truly connected without compromise.
What Is the Nomad Titan?
Curious, I did some digging. Turns out the Nomad Titan is a high-powered, solar-compatible Wi-Fi station created by Nomad Internet, a company that specializes in bringing wireless internet to rural areas and RV travelers.
Each Titan pulls in Nomad’s private wireless spectrum — far stronger than typical mobile data — and rebroadcasts it across the park. It works off-grid, handles storms like a champ, and requires no effort from the campground.
And here’s the kicker: It’s completely free. For us as guests, and for the park owner too.
“[We’re building] a nationwide grid for RVers,” said Jaden Garza, Nomad Internet’s CEO. “We want connection to be part of the journey, not a burden.”
Retirement Just Got Better
With Nomad Titan, the experience of full-time RVing — especially in retirement — becomes richer:
- We can FaceTime our grandkids anytime, from anywhere in the park.
- I can research destinations, book campsites, and access health portals without driving into town.
- My wife watches her favorite baking shows on the tablet while I check fantasy football scores on the laptop — all without buffering.
- We’ve started staying longer at parks that use Titan — simply because they make life easier.
A New Standard for Parks
Colorado Heights was the first park to adopt the Nomad Titan, but it won’t be the last. Nomad Internet is rolling out over 4,000 Titans across the U.S., aiming to cover a third of all RV parks by the end of summer.
That means that retirees like us — and families, digital nomads, and weekend warriors — will be able to travel without sacrificing connection.
Every new Titan is part of the Nomad Grid, a free Wi-Fi network built specifically for mobile life.
A Final Thought from the Road
As a retiree, I don’t chase the latest gadgets. I don’t care about 5G speeds or satellite networks with celebrity endorsements.
What I care about is this: Does it work? Can I trust it? Does it make life better without making life harder?
Nomad Titan checks all three boxes. It’s the internet the RV lifestyle has needed for years — and now it’s finally here.
So, if you’re running an RV park, take it from someone who’s been to more than 200 of them: get yourself a Titan. Your guests will thank you.
