I bought two sets plus one additional controller without the remote so that I could do 3 lights. Each controller can pair to three remotes and each remote can pair to 3 controllers.
After I ordered them though, I found another site that had the kits for $5 cheaper each, but I didn't see the controller modules sold separately there.
Here is the cheaper place:

They are also sold on Amazon, but more expensive.

Thank you Ray!
I've been searching for something JUST like this for over a year now.
Not much out there for this application.
All I want is a wall switch. No remote. No colors. Just on and Off.
I guess I'll adjust to the dimmer function of it.
Will be buying two of these soon!

One switch by the entry door and another on the other end of the camper by the bed. Big improvement!
I also replaced the cheapo 3" ceiling speakers with some Pioneer 6 1/2" coaxial speakers that sound much better.
These are the remote light switches I used:

Where did you get the remote switches? I like that idea, the DW has trouble reaching up to turn the lights on or off

3-way x3 button remotes
Mekkeric, here is what I came up with. My bedroom light is a long reach for me, the main lights are on the floor as you come in, and the dinette light switch is very awkward to use. I found these three, 3 button remotes with individual relays. I will have a keypad in the kitchen, bedroom, and seating area to control those poorly designed locations without running wires.
Here is the site:

Separated the island lights top and bottom by adding a second switch in my Sanibel. Now we can use one as a night light.

2018 831clbss
After adding some shelves in the kitchen pantry of our 831CLBSS, I added some LED lighting on a switch that comes on when opened, and goes out when shut.

About how much did you spend? I just got a new rig that hasCastle Rocks. I may put on 500 miles per year on them. Should I replace or just give it a few years?

Been working on my mount for the WeBoost. Opted to go with a 1" thick cutting board, used a nylon antenna base, and put it all together. This will be held onto the roof with eterna-bond tape, really excited!

I spent about 600 for four. I had one going flat in one day so I just changed all four. This is our first one also,we put about 300 on them before we change them.

Does your weBoost antenna require a grounding plane? (ie, metal plate) If so, how will you integrate that?

The model I purchased, Drive 4G-X RV, does not require a grounding plate. I don't have anything on the roof of mine that is usable for a mount point, no ladder, existing TV extendable antenna, etc. so this was the best solution I could come up with that didn't require drilling holes in the roof.
