Where the issue in your plan could be is that per Minder Research/Valterra Products you want the weather-proof booster's antenna outside the TT such as mounted to the frame, inside the mounted spare tire, etc...
I really think you might do a test tow or two without the booster as even your 1685 is a pretty short trailer. You might find that it's not necessary.
Thanks, I just read that - hadn't realized the booster was weather-tight.
We do need the booster - I'm thinking of trying it inside of that area behind the cover, the only thing blocking the signal would be the front wall that looks to be some sort of fiberglass casting, maybe 3/16" thick.
That shouldn't interfere much, but if it does I will mount it just outside of that area, depends on water/mud spray from the truck tires where exactly.
If I put it outside I might still put it in a weather-tight box for rock/element protection.
