Tom, your signal acquisition success is what I meant when I said it often saves the day!
Communication-wise, you literally got something out of what was otherwise...nothing.
I'm very impressed. I'm going to continue comparing different types of antennas and see if there's a difference.
Ask Doug, he left me use his in Vogal SP in Georgia, for about an hour or so, and by the time I got back to PA I had one ordered.......
I'm interest in this OTR antenna....but if the little one works as good, I'll just stick with one mounted onto a small metal plate glued to the fridge vent....
Randy, why don't you want it permanent?
I was thinking to get this unit and rotate it between the TV and TT based on my location at the time, but I would leave the antennas mounted in each location.

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. 
You might make a trip or two before you permanently mount it. We move our antenna around quite often to obtain a better signal.
Randy, I'm planning on using the suggestion to get the kit with the mini mag mount (for the truck) and then separately order the larger spring mounted antenna to place permanently on the TT.
I think I want to use a semi-permanent mount on the TT in a relatively short position on the roof to have good clearance but still have the ability to quickly reposition it on a taller rod/staff for those more remote locations where height helps, per Nutman's feedback.

It did. But I'll try when I get to more fringe areas of service. Though it won't be for a little while. My next trip in April is two weeks and going to Montana, Wyoming and California.... from Florida.
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?
Thanks for all the great information. Is the magnetic mount antenna an option? The 4G-X comes with a bolt-through-the-roof antenna. Assuming I can get a magnetic mount antenna, can I glue it to the roof of my trailer and have it work properly?
Thanks in advance!
