    A Welcome Addition to my RV

    I'll start this off by saying that I admit I havent had my RV very long, but on some of the vacations I've taken in it, I've noticed that in relatively remote areas, cell signal can be a challenge. My RV isn't all that large so I didn't want anything huge to either attach to it or that I would need to set up separately if I stopped. Installation was not difficult, the antenna is designed to attach in one of a few different places and it's not intended to be hard-wired to the vehicle power system (although it appears they sell an additional unit to assist with that). It's fairly straightforward. I installed it to the ladder on the back of the RV, ran the wire to the booster unit and inside to the cell receiver. In traveling and using it, there was a definite improvement in cell signal when in more remote locations, although if I went too far, even this would eventually lose signal. That said though, I can see instances where, aside from just the convenience of having cellular signal far out, could also make the difference in getting help if it is needed. To that point, it does say that it could affect the ability for e911 to work, so in those instances you must be able to tell law enforcement where you are at. Overall there's not really a lot more to say about it. It's everything you would hope it would be in terms of installation and use. I imagine a larger system would have more range, but that was not what I wanted. All in all it's a great investment.

    Great Signal Booster

    Great device to boost your cell signal in remote places. Pretty easy to install, just a little tricky to find a place to run the wire from the outside of the RV to the inside. Tried it out at a remote lake area that I frequently visit and never get great cell service and it worked like a charm! The only negative that I can see is that it doesn't come with a 12v adapter. It's easy to take on and off, and I would like to take it with me in my car when I just go fishing without my RV and an AC power outlet. You'd think a 12v adapter would be a no-brainer since most vehicles have that power source. I guess I'll have to go buy one. Other than that, great product! Highly recommend!

    Used this with my RV this week and have to say the service is phenominal! We tried using just our phones out in Goblin Valley State Park, Canyon Lands National Park, and Arches National Park and cell service was spotty. When we used our phones with the weBoost, we were easily pulling data, no dropped calls, and reliable texts while driving or parked. The reception worked better while parked I feel but unable to provide any reliable data to confirm this suspicion. I 10000% recommend this to anyone who wants to have a more enjoyable mobile data/voice experience while traveling!

    Upon opening the box, I was instantly confident in my purchase of the weBoost-Drive Reach RV system because of the solid construction of each piece of hardware. Not only is everything you need included, (even down to the zip-ties and the mounting brackets for them, wow) but upon closer inspection I could tell that the design team fabricated this kit for real-world applications, away from a controlled-climate labratory. This is a great setup and so easy to assemble that the average 7th grader could put this plug-n-go system together. So far so great, but now I needed a real live test to gauge the product's value and worth. So, I went to see my friend who lives away from the city, and whose cell service is spotty at best. We did some reception pretesting in and around his motorhome before hooking up the unit, focusing on his media/tv area. After a quick install it was time to go live. My friend was ready to do a technical test to determine and quantify the level increase (boost) before and after, however we never got that far. The 'ear' test was more than enough to satisfy any questions or concerns that either of us had about this unit. The results were so astonishing that my friend offered to buy it from me on the spot, and (jokingly) said I could not leave with the unit. Crystal clear clarity and a crisp tone said it all. A must for all RV'ers, campers, and outdoors people! 5 stars

    The Perfect RV Accessory!

    The weBoost - Drive Reach RV is a must for anyone living the RV life or for those who regularly take RV vacations. Too often you find yourself with limited or no cellular signal and have to play the arm in the air/climb the nearest mountain game to make a call. Not any more with the help of weBoost! I found this product to be exactly what we needed as we transitioned from homeowners to full time RVers. Cell service in our area is spotty and can be very frustrating when you need to make a call or if you simply want to check emails. weBoost RV also helped overcome the signal loss often associated with being inside the RV vs outside. We gain at least 2 bars and now usually have full bars. PROS - weBoost brand, innovation, and quality! - Easy Installation with minimal technical experience needed - Does what is says - better cell signal! CONS - Not really weBoost's issue, but if there is not cell service where you are, you basically cannot expect this product to create something it cannot connect with. You will still find areas that you have no service! No product can create something from nothing however!

    Only AC Power Supply but Impressive Boost

    First off, let me clarify that there’s no antenna that can amplify a non-existent signal. If there’s none at all, neither this nor any other signal booster will solve your problem. I’m saying that because it is a misconception to think such booster can bring cell coverage to where the carrier signal doesn’t reach. What the Drive Reach RV can do is to amplify a week signal and in my experience, it did it very well. In one instance, I couldn’t see any signal at all on my phone and it still helped me make calls and access the internet, though slowly. That seems to contradict what I just said but it doesn’t. What happened in that case was that the signal was so week that my limited iPhone antenna couldn’t even see it but the WeBoost Drive Reach could. It was around a lake here in southern Oregon where I go camping for astrophotography. My phone never worked in that spot. Even in some areas around the lake where I could get something like one bar, I couldn’t make a phone call let alone browse the internet. This wonderful booster allowed both. Super happy and won’t ever camp without it. While the best phones have a max dB gain of 25 or less, this booster has a 50 dB gain. In every instance where there was signal, it increased the performance of both calls and internet. You may be surprised when you get 5G in areas where you didn’t before. I had that experience. It wasn’t everywhere but it did happen. As you drive, you may experience changes along the way, of course, but it was mostly stable and solid performance. It really is powerful. It comes with everything you need to install. It wasn’t hard but it did take a long time in the burning sun to install the external antenna. Very easy to connect to the booster but you still have to run cables and it does take time to do it neatly. The internal antenna was very easy and required virtually no effort. It includes an AC power instead of the 12 Volt direct power supply as the picture shows on the box. That was my biggest disappointment as I will need to spend $35 before shipping on the weBoost online store to do that. You’d expect it to be included. You may just use the vehicle 110V inverter but it shouldn’t be necessary. I also noticed that I had to be close to the internal antenna. Going outside affected performance considerably. It seems that the whole effort was put on the gain of the external antenna but not on the internal one. It won’t perform any miracles and it does'nt come with the specific power supply I prefer but it definitely makes things much better where even a week signal is available. In one speed test, I got about 4 Mbps download/upload without the booster and 51 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload with it. That’s over 12 times improvement to the download speed. It won’t do a lot if you’re not inside your RV but it’s still worth it

    weBoost - Drive Reach RV Awesome Improvements

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this as a replacement for an older WeBoost device. Nice improvement for boosting my tMobile and Google Fi 5G devices that my family is using. When I chose this device I was thinking I would be able to use my exiting wiring and antennas however upon receiving the device in the mail I quickly realized they are now shipping with the mini coaxial and connections. I have had to totally swap everything out. Having said this I think this is an both a positive upgrade and awesome improvement. But is for situational awareness if you are using the older coaxial cabling, you will need to have space in your cable channels or be willing to adapt. This specific device is intended for and marketed specifically RV use however can be adapted relatively easily for other vehicles with some creativeness. It is definitely worth the purchase and has improved my coverage in both rural Tennessee and Kentucky where my providers lack good/strong coverage while I am teleworking. I have already recommended this device to three friends whom are traveling cross country now, two of which have made the investment and are also happy with the extra “WeBoost” and happier surfing abilities!

    I think it is a good idea to remind everyone that this is not a signal creator, this is a signal BOOSTER. And you need a little bit of it in the first place in the area of interest to boost what is there. This is now the second full time item I have in my arsenal to boost cell service from weBoost. And again, they have delivered what I hoped to expect. Simple instructions, easy set-up, support contacts readily available, and tangible results. Cell service in Colorado can be really sketchy. Particularly with AT&T’s cell service. Quite simply I’ve been able to get a few extra bars with this easy set-up in locations where the signal has been notoriously scant. And I will readily trade off some set-up time to get a more reliable connection and a bit more speed. It doesn’t always work since you are not always going to get a single bar of service in some locations. But having something that can give you a chance when you have no other option could be a life saver on top of adding an element of reliability to your connection. Whether you need a signal boost for emergency purposes or you just can’t seem to unplug when away from your non-mobile domicile, this is what you’re looking for.

    Beware if you don't have a ladder

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Mounting is predicated on having a roof-ladder on your RV. If you don't have one (I don't) be prepared for some improvisation. Additionally, make sure your cables can reach everywhere you want to route them. This isn't a wireless module, so hard-wiring and running cables is required for the entire unit. Once set up you also have to remember that this thing can't amplify from 0, and amplification is only a factor of the signal it's able to grab to begin with. So if you're in an area where you have .5 bars, don't expect 5 when you turn on the WeBoost; you'll only get 1, maybe 2 bars out of the system. Overall, installation is tricky and requires drilling holes, etc. which makes this unit a bit more involved than I'd otherwise like. It also makes assumptions that, for me, weren't true (mounting to a roof ladder) which caused me extra headaches during installation. Performance of the unit is about what you'd expect and did help our overall reception in areas where it was spotty, which is the end goal. I do worry, though, about all the holes leftover when I remove the unit to sell my coach. Price is a bit high, though, so do plenty of research and read reviews for your carrier and the areas you plan to go before jumping in.

    Just got back from a trip and the verdict is in! The weBoost Drive Reach RV setup works and works flawlessly. We traveled from Ohio to North Carolina for a racing event and the kids never had issues with signal and neither did my wife and I which usually we get dead spots through WVA and VA. This improvement was the icing on the cake for traveling. Install was simple besides figuring out where I wanted to put the wire to the outside through on the camper without making a new hole. Once that was found, it was a simple process of plug and play, mount the antennae and the boxes, plug in and enjoy. How good does it work in the middle of nowhere? Absolutely amazing! One of the tracks we go to is in Star NC but not anywhere near the town. We normally get 1 bar of LTE or 3 bars of H. We turned if off before testing it at the track and we went to H for all of us this year. Here is where the magic happened, I plugged it in and boom, 3 or 4 bars of LTE in the camper! Finally, no more data being blocked by the camper walls and the amplifier extending those signals! Guess what, we also noticed a huge bump outside the camper within 50 ft and this helped us finally stream Live on FB without issues so family and friends could watch us race. I am super happy with the weBoost setup, that is why I have one in my house now too!

    I set this up in a Class C motor home. I keep the motor home at my office which is in a poor reception area. There are 2 roads I can take from my office back into town. I lose service on both roads for about a mile so I don't use my phone in that area. Outside the motor home at my office I get 2 to 3 bars on my phones service indicator, inside the motor home I get 1 bar. Upon hooking up the WeBoost booster. I get 3 to 4 bars inside the motor home. I drove both roads where I always lose a signal and was able to have uninterrupted phone conversations. When I returned to the office I ran an internet speed test inside the motor home. With the booster on I got 61 mbps download and 7.5 up. With the booster turned off I got 38 down and 1.3 up. I can't wait to see how this works in a remote campground. I have another vehicle with a WeBoost product installed and have been places where the only place anyone could use their phone was in my vehicle. I am confident that when I do get out in the boonies this will provide the same service.

    I have the WeBoost for trucks installed in my Jeep and we just installed this in our RV. Installation was a little bit worse than I had originally anticipated but being an RV installation when there is just more space involved should definitely be taken into consideration. I found the instructions to be adequate and more than helpful. The range boosting was great and exactly on par with the smaller truck version. I can see this being very handy in certain situations for sure. We will further test it and report back with any additional information. For now though, no complaints at all. I love the build quality and the look of the install is fantastic. Highly recommend!

    Buyer Beware

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Buyer beware. I have owned three WeBoost units in the last three years. All three failed. I was able to return two of them within the warranty window but am stuck with one $600 paperweight. I have had two fail out of the box and had one last less than a year of use. Their warranty is 2 years. If you are only in rural areas a few times a year, they are relying on you not using it and it dying just beyond the warranty window without you noticing. I live full time on the road. I have been across the country 5 times with a WeBoost and at no point did it ever function as intended. At one point, I was carrying two in the car and neither worked. I can say with great confidence, save your money and headaches from Wilson Electronics. You won't get substantially further in nature with the WeBoost than you would without it. As I said, I've been on the road three years and for all the money I've spent on WeBoost, I'd have been better to save the money for gas to get back to areas with solid service. There are better alternatives. Don't waste your money. If you insist you need this technology, I can tell you as a full-time nomad with years of experience, that you are wasting your money on this product.
