ah, sorry, probably we speak of the same thing.

I dont know whether or not the current in-car starlink devices require an extra 12v-to-220V/110V adapter, or whether it's included, or integrated.

These 12V-220V/110V adapters are relatively big, necessitate fans.  If they are still needed for starlink in-car devices is probably because of higher transmit power that is necessary to reach to 360km altitude. They could reduce that in-car power need by bringing the sats even lower, or other non-sat objects like HAPs.  Or by augmenting the starlink sat antennas sizes.

When the heck are starlink going to release a true "RV unit" that is 12v?

Sure we can hack it to do what starlink should have been doing all along, but that's ugly, it voids our warranties, and is only of use to those who have some understanding electronics.

Surely they can design a 12v RV modem that has the boost converters internally so its plug and play in campers or cars/vans, rather than saying "this is RV - but you need inefficient mains inverters to use it",  they charge a premium for sub standard service (low priority data), surely they can add an extra, well at my singular buy price $15 in components, to them in mass production it would be more like $5.
