Kodoos to TECHNO RV

[Rlynxgolfer]

Purchased 50 amp surge protector from Techno RV. The unit went to $40.00 cheaper with pedestal lock included 2 weeks after I purchased.
E-mailed Eric of techno RV and he will credit me the $40.00 difference and will
be mailing me the pedestal lock.
Now that is customer service. Great deals on several RV essentials.

I have to admit, I was impressed with them at the FROG rally. I was looking into a cell booster, and had some misgivings about how well it would work with my carrier. He ended up pulling the display model down, set it up in his rig and got it running so I could go test it out for myself to make sure I would be satisfied with it.

You found a cell phone booster that actually works? Please share!

It’s one of the WeBoost units (don’t remember the exact model except that it wasn’t the one that only works within a few feet.)

I dithered with my decision the entire time I was at the rally facing poor cell signals, and finally bought it on the Friday. It definitely made a difference at the rally when I tested in their rig, but as it was the last day, I didn’t actually try it in my rig there.

Since then, I haven’t camped in any poor cell coverage areas so I haven’t tried it out other than once in the driveway. And that time, because I turned it on in a good cell area, it went into a feedback loop and locked itself out.

We’ve got some remote trips planned this year, so I’m hoping to finally justify my dithered impulse buy.

I have a weBoost 4G Drive X that works decently well as long as you understand that its internal boosted area is very very small (18"-24" around the internal antenna). We put our hotspots in that zone.

However, I find that my antenna for the hotspot (from Netgear) is my preferred go to. It has the hassle of needing to be in a window and the hotspot has to be nearby. But it really does pull its own when it comes to increasing download and upload speeds. I have been in the new rig for 3 or 4 weeks now (fulltime) and haven't installed my booster yet.

X2, Weboost 4G with Trucker Antenna. Works well.

Hey, I've got the lowest priced Wilson Electronics piggy back booster that cost me about $160 and it is amazing. Can only imagine how much better their bigger pricer units might be.

We use weBoost 4G Drive X with external ant mounted on a 16ft fiberglass painters pole. Reception has gone from spotty to very good.

We use the WeBoost 4G and can usually get Internet and cell service in places that others can't but you have to set it up correctly. For a mast I cut PVC pipe sections to 7 and 1/2 foot sections so they fit behind my Rockwood. I have both the Omni and the directional antenna. The Omni usually works perfectly but when the signal is too low for that I hoist up the directional antenna. With the 4 pieces of PVC I can get the antenna up to around 28 feet high.

Inside the trailer I place the indoor antenna about 1" from my phone and I enable my phone's hotspot. I have a TP-Link range extender that picks up the hotspot signal from my phone and sends a strong signal about 500' in all directions. Works great for my family or friends if they are camping close to us. My wife puts her phone on wifi calling and connects to our hotspot. It sure works well for us!
