Also, does it need to have a completely unobstructed view (i.e. can it be set up right beside the RV if the area is a little sketchy?) How much do overhead trees interfere?
Costs are not even worth discussing. It’s how I earn income. As such portions are tax deductible and loss of a days productivity due to bad internet (let’s say you are only using 4g) at a campsite you haven’t been to before is disastrous in comparison to cost of multi homed internet.
Price wise, the kit is now about 700 EUR and service is 100 EUR a month.
So yes, it's answered.

That's for an address in Italy. Four times as much as I'm paying for a truly unlimited 4G connection (some 30 Mb/s maximum, I'm far away from the base station.) I'm paying 7.95 for the 4G SIM in my phone, capped at 90 GB per month, similar speed at home, different base station.
If you don't need starlink, then don't get it.
But if you have a cabin in the Italian alps where its either Starlink or else, then 124 / month seems like a much better deal than having no internet at all. Particularly if with those 124 / month then one or more people can live there and work earning multiple thousand euros per month of income (vs zero income living there without Starlink).
A logical conclusion to this is that, if you begin the order flow, you will discover the price before finally submitting your order.
