    Easy to install but does little to boost reception. My phone shows 2-3 bars (up from 1), but can only send short texts w/o photos. No internet at all, not even Weather app.

    Bought the reach rv one. Fairly easy to install. No program to set up. Just set up the hardware and it’s ready to go. Provides a clear upgrade to our cell service

    Made a difference in my toy hauler. We were in an area I know the reception was bad. My text messages would not always go through. I installed the weboost and now when I was inside of the trailer, I was getting service and was able to watch Netflix on my phone. Sure made a difference. Would recommend.

    It "works", if you consider more bars and not faster speeds working. I did do a speed check with the product off and on and there was a slight difference, but it was so slight that I couldn't justify spending almost $600 for a product that doesn't not actually noticeably boost speed and performance. I don't even live too far from the nearest tower and my speeds were still around 3-5 mbps down. I'm still on the lookout for the magical device that will help my phone and laptop speeds.

    Still haven't installed this on my trailer since it is designed to attach to a built-in ladder which we don't have. But looking forward to getting it installed somehow and testing it in some of our more remote camping situations.

    Timing was perfect for me to get this item. Sadly, my father passed away. Because of that, I made two trips in my RV from Minneapolis MN to Twin Falls ID to Elko NV and back, for about 20 days on the road. I traveled on all kinds of roads from congested freeways to dirt roads, and passed through and camped in some pretty remote areas with weak or no cell signal, so I really got to test this system's capabilities. I like to stream music, podcasts, and news while I'm driving, and I also send and receive phone calls and text messages (hands-free of course). There's several areas on my trip where I used to lose all signal and my streaming would stop, so here's what I experienced with this booster: I use Verizon. There's some really weak spots on I-94/I-90 between Minneapolis and Bozeman, but I didn't lose streaming even when the phone showed no signal. There's a dead spot just east of Glendive MT, the phone showed no signal, but I was able to make a phone call, so I was pretty optimistic. I camped at a remote campground on the edge of Yellowstone outside of Livingston MT, and my signal was good and strong. I streamed a couple of movies with no problem. Driving through Yellowstone was a real test. There's a huge dead spot between Bozeman and Big Sky along the Gallatin Gateway, and sure enough I had no connectivity for about 25 miles. I got spotty signal all the way to Idaho, but streaming just paused for 10 seconds or so a couple of times. Using my phone as a hotspot, I was able to work remotely when camped. The laptop worked just fine, however when scanning documents to the cloud with my scanner the transmissions would time out. It might be an issue with the scanner, because the laptop worked great, even on web conferencing and streaming movies. Back on the road, I did lose connectivity occasionally in the dead spot between Jackpot and Wells NV, but it wasn't nearly as bad as it is without the booster. I had no signal for about 10 minutes instead of 30. Then I had solid signal all the way home through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, and Iowa to Minnesota. In short, the booster didn't help where there was no signal at all, but it made a huge difference whenever even the weakest signal was there. As for installation, the gear is really top-quality, however I really wish it had a flexible mast instead of a solid mast and spring. I mounted the antenna on the roof where the TV antenna used to be, so I was able to use the existing hole. I had to cobble together a mount out of a waterproof electric box cover, but I didn't use the spring because I didn't want to drill another hole in my roof, and the spring seemed way stronger than the roof material, so I didn't want to risk it. At some point I'll use some pvc pipe or something as a mast so I could get more elevation. It would be awesome if it came with some kind of a surface mount and flexible mast for this application. One more installation issue -- seriously folks -- why didn't this come with a 12V power adapter? As far as I know, RVs don't have 120vAC available while driving. I'm not gonna fire up my generator or buy a power inverter just to run the antenna. I ordered the 12V adapter before leaving on my trip and it worked just fine. So, it would be five stars except for RV-specific considerations -- 12V power and surface-mounting parts for the antenna.

    A must have for your RV!

    Installation and setup of this system is pretty easy but you should definitely plan ahead so you can place it in an optimal spot with other equipment but away from it enough so as not to get interference as is stated very clearly in the instructions. Once that's done, it's pretty much automatic once you hook it up it up to power the status light will readout the status. Keep in mind this particular system is designed for an RV and is not for portable use - having installed it I can say if you want one that is portable, check with WeBoost as they have systems better suited for other use scenarios. We tested it out in an area where there is week signal for most providers Tmobile in this case as it's on the fringes of coverage, and it definitely does improve signal if you have a signal! The key thing is, if there isn't a signal in the first place, there isn't anything to boost and it won't work so I would say don't get this with the intention of having cell service everywhere as it's not going to happen if there isn't service in the first place as we saw in our testing. If there is a signal it is going to improve the signal inside your RV and nearby your RV for more reliable voice connections and faster LTE or 5G speeds. In the one campgrounds we tested it in, the signal improved from 1 bar near our RV (or none depending on where you you were in this particular location) to a solid 3 bars inside the RV. This place was one of those where service is spotty so you could get reception enough to make calls and text in some areas and not in others. The power draw isn't all that high so if you have a solar system you should be able to run this in your RV without kicking on the generator and/or worrying about running batteries dead by having it on. I was very skeptical of how well this system would actually work and have to say it does provide a stronger/more reliable signal if you haver weaker 1-2 bars signal or one that bounces around causing poor voice call quality or slow speeds. In many cases, when you go inside an RV with service this weak (because they are metal) you'll lose calls or service completely so this unit definitely solves the problem where you have service outside but not inside! It does work universally across carriers and for 5G service. We tested with both Verizon and T-Mobile and it definitely did improve service for both services. If you have an RV, I'd recommend it for sure as helps improve the reliability of cell signal in/near your RV. Some may argue that the point of having an RV is to get away and "disconnect" and I'd agree but also say that's what the off button is for and that this could be extremely useful in some very important situations!
