I recently aquired a WeBoost Drive 4GM cell signal booster. The 4GM isn't the latest and greatest offering, that would be the Drive 4GX. I was initially drawn to the 4GX plus RV essentials kit which retails for $619.99. The Drive 4GX by itself sells for $479 and the 4GM for $379. I purchased the Drive 4GM from Amazon Warehouse Deals (technically used) for $273. Both the 4GM and 4GX are rated to boost cell signal by up to 50 db. The difference being the 4GX is supposed to be twice as powerful...

I have the old Speedboost by Wilson. For portability, we mounted it to a little plank and carry it and the magnetic antenna in a little leather bag. Sometimes when traveling we put the bag in the truck to make calls while driving. At night, we move it all to the camper. Once we checked into a State Park in Arkansas and were told there was no phone service because we were in a valley on the lake. We'd have to drive out of the park 1/4 mile to the top of a hill to use our phones. We moved the...

My older Wilson amp still works great and makes a real difference in being able to get phone service and Internet. On our previous TC I had the antenna mounted pemanently on the roof attached to the roof rack. Tree branch snags would break off the tiny ground plain antenna stub outs. With the new Lance 1172 I decided to keep the antenna portable and and I built a antenna mast out of PVC, 24" threaded sections, that I can erect in a few minutes and mount to the roof access ladder. I mount the...

I have been looking at these boosters, and was confused by the 10' distance requirement between antennas. I too wondered, how can this work in a car. It is nearly impossible to get 10' of separation in a truck camper. I had not seen this thread until today, and now I am thinking this will be my next mod project. I have seen some RV'ers use a Wilson directional antenna, on a pole. More trouble to set up, but they report more gain than the vertical stubby. That would be the cat's meow, but I...

Okie Doke. I installed this today in about 5 minutes. I say installed, but really I just plugged in everything and tried it. I am using the pre-built platform for my WIFI antenna. I have an junction box that was already on my roof from my Solar, so I previously installed two plates to it. Sealed it with sealant, and then would shove my vertical wifi antenna in when not in motion (or when I needed it). I adjusted it by backing out the screws slightly. I bought an L, and an steel electrical...
