I think a lot of this is going to depend on where you plan on going. Most national and state parks that I've been in have poor to no reception on cell. You can go to the RV parks which are more expensive, but you'll have cell reception.
If you plan to boondock (stay out in the middle of nowhere with no hook-ups or in national/state parks, you'll need a cell booster to get the signal up to a point where it works. Finding the unlimited plan that is reasonable price and a booster will be extremely important. Lots of articles, videos on it.
If you don't plan to have full hook-ups, look at solar. Most RVs now are built 'solar-ready' so the wiring is in place, just need to add a charger and panel. A single 100W may be enough to keep you going with lights, water pump. Charging computer and you may need another. Remember you don't want your lead acid/AGM battery get below 50% or it never recovers (won't fully charge, doesn't hold charge long). I've seen some recommend not less than 60%. My battery was already damaged by the time I picked up my units b/c the dealers don't leave them plugged in and there's always a slow draw unless you put in a battery disconnect. If you plan to boondock often, check into lithium (LiPo4) batteries. They hold longer charge, can discharge to 15-10% without damage, weigh much less and usually hold higher charge. You may need to upgrade RV battery charger though. Full time living, you'll need to make sure you always have power for the devices that let you work remotely.
RV'ing is a learning experience every time you go out. It will be fun and frustrating, but some of the best times will be had.
Good luck!
