The weBoost Drive Reach RV comes with a 25' cable that is used to attached the outside antenna to the booster inside. Antennas connected to a booster create spheres of signal. When these spheres overlap, a condition called oscillation occurs. Oscillation can be thought of as noise, which causes the booster to scale down it’s power or shut down to prevent damage. The best way to keep these spheres of signal from overlapping is to maximize separation between the inside and outside antennas. If your van is a metal material, that should provide a pretty good block from the outside to the inside, but we would recommend putting as much distance as possible between the two.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.consider this - get a collapsible mast 10-15' and stick it in the ground (or make base) or attach to front bumper. The instructions call for 25' distance between the two antennae. (I'm nowhere near that in my 25 TT. Maybe 10-15' actual.) Besides, the higher up the exterior antennae, the better. Also the phone has to be really close, like within inches of inside antennae hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, theoretically you want the two a good distance apart as to not have any signal oscillation. Not sure how this will affect each other in a van.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am using for teleworking and am in an SUV. I must also note I am not a technical expert to answer in other than layman terms. However in my case, This device is functioning fine with about a 5 maybe 6 foot separation. You should be able to separate everything a little further in your VAN. They also have a model that is specifically marketed for long haul Truckers if you have any concerns that might also be an option that will suit your actual needs, but do a close comparison of the specifications to fit what you need to accomplish.
