Love mine also. Use it to do a manual regen when I'm on long stretches. Right now I have setup as 5 gauge. EGT 1, EGT 4, soot grams, eurea milage and boost.

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...

Though these won’t talk on any more channels, or talk farther than other FRS-GMRS radios, it is specifically designed for emergency preparedness. It does have some nice extra features.

I have to agree that the Wynn's perkiness can be a bit much. Even when they're saying some pretty harsh things about the way RVs are manufactured it comes across as rough as if an extra ice cube was perhaps in order for the iced tea served at lunch. To give them the credit, several of their videos have piqued my interest. They have some nice information on solar and inverters. And they are self proclaimed "poop experts." Composters have a really bad reputation up here from pipeline...

I will, and do cook bacon, when camping (good bacon, as Jacster will agree )....but I will start the day before I leave, and broil about 3 lb and not totally finish it ,and let it cool and wrap it in a paper towel and put it in a bread bag or zip lock bags and keep in the fridge....then when It's time to start the Genny for a battery boost in the morning, I will Micro some ....cost far less(well maybe not) then buying the pre-cooked, and (but) is usually better. once it is all though I will...

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...

On youtube, The Jade and John Show. Married couple from TN that are truck drivers. We Boost gave them a set up to try out and make video of what they thought. John used to be an IT guy and had built his own booster for the truck from home version type stuff. They were impressed with the We Boost mobile system they tried out.

No, we have the sofa conversion and besides, running the antenna cable in through one of the pass-thru doors would mean that it stays open during the time we use the We-Boost which I would like to set up and leave it until we leave the campsite.. Not sure I like that scenario.

Well, that there just might be the best solution. Get two antennas and permanently mount one on the trailer and keep the spare for those rare times we might need a boost in the truck. Sometimes my penny-pinching ways can definitely cloud my ability to see the easiest answer to my woes. Thanks for shocking me back to reality.

First time I have needed a boost to get data, here parked alone Rockhouse Rd near Borrego. Unwrapped the weboost and stuck the antenna up on the truck hood. Inside, went from almost nothing to 4 bars of 4G. This will be really nice up in the mtns of Colo, where signals go to die. I like it. New project on my list, a permanent installation. Now, how to get the coax thru the roof?

Here's my not so scientific impression. First off, I jumped in too early and purchased the regular version with the wimpy magnetic rooftop antennae. They hadn't yet released the RV version at the time I made the purchase. That said, I have been able to utilize it mostly in the truck when traveling through remote areas of Nevada where a signal was hard to come by. It worked great and provided boost to all who were along for the ride showing that the puck one puts next to the phone has more...

This is the unit I use, works well. It will boost an intermittent or one bar signal to 2-3 bars. You have to have your device close to inside antenna. And have the outside antenna as high as possible, mine is mounted on an extended painters pole using a Flag Buddy mount on the ladder. https://www.weboost.com/products/drive-reach-rv

Simple answer...yep! Longer answer is...if most of your camping is above 5,000', Honda highly recommends getting a carburetor jet made for altitude. Otherwise the gen will run on the rich side (air/fuel mixture). The only problem with re-jetting the carburetor is that if run at low altitude with a high altitude jet, it will run lean which can cause problems. Before giving up on the Costco gen, see if it can be re-jetted for high altitude. It's unlikely but that little boost in power might be...

There are better options that save weight, gas, and unnecessary redundancy than getting the companion. The Honda EU2200i is enough with a Micro-Air Easy Start, extended-run fuel tank, and good A/C power manangement (this presumes that you have sufficient solar for all your other needs and you dedicate the EU 2200i for airconditioning). While this setup easily powers my 15k BTU Coleman, I have even learned to run it on Eco-boost, which is even quiter, after the intial start on normal, but it...

Charging from our truck’s back seat power port. It’s pretty slow, as the DC input limits low-voltage current to 8 Amps. The charge rate can be doubled to ~200 W by inserting a 12V / 24V boost converter between the power port and the DC input; that’s an experiment for another day. 😎 Jim / crewzer

Jim, Thank you for your comments and recommendation to consider a 12V to 24V boost converter in our TV! I may look into that because using idle driving time to (partially) charge the Anker would be handy.

Dianne and Scott, I think your application is a great example of the practicality, versatility and cost-effectiveness of these power stations, particularly when outfitting a camper from scratch, especially here in the East where RV PV systems don’t appear to be as popular as in the West. You have 160 Ah of LFP batteries (12.8 V x 160 Ah = 2048 Whr.), a versatile DC charger, including MPPT; a high-power AC charger, a 2400 W true sine wave AC inverter, and a very useful range of AC, DC and USB...

Today was the day for the 12/24 V boost converter experiment. I used a small Victron 12/24-10 boost converter to boost the voltage from one of our truck’s 12 V power sockets (fused at 20 A) to 20 V. The converter’s output voltage is adjustable. The AC180 limits DC charge current to 8 A for input voltages below 30 V, so I saw 160 W input from this configuration (20 V x 8 A = 160 W). I could probably increase the converter’s output voltage to ~24 V (for 192 W output) and stay under 16 A (20 A...
