RV WiFi

One of the larger issues Pam and I have had while enjoying full time RV living has been RV wifi.  You can only count on a few RV parks to provide a quality high-speed Wi-Fi connection without additional equipment.  

There are so many others that are not considered “smart parks.”  That being said, if there is wifi available, and you are able to get a signal, you will be able to stay connected by having an RV Wi-Fi booster.

If you have the equipment to boost the available RV Wi-Fi signal and somebody else does not, you will be able to capitalize on the available bandwidth.

That being said, let’s look at some options to boost an RV Park’s Wi-Fi service.

WiFi Desktop Booster Kit

When you order the Desktop Booster Kit, you will receive the Learning Series to make sure you are successful with this great product. The instructions in the kit are minimal, so additional information is included, complete with step-by-step instructions, pictures, and video.

WiFi Camp Pro Kit w/Suction Cup Mount

Key Features:

• Suction Cup Antenna Mount allows you to mount the Booster Tube near the entry point into the RV (on a slide/ near a window)
• Recommend using a 1-inch by 5-foot, schedule 40 PVC pole (not included) with the suction cup mount to raise the booster above other RVs for better line of sight

Desktop Booster Kit with Yagi Antenna

• Great for RVers that stay in one place for long periods of time, and they can set it up once and leave it
• A great option for RVers who want the high-power Yagi for times when the Desktop Booster alone isn’t quite enough
• Works with all operating devices since you are using a Repeater.

Weboost Cellular Signal Booster

If you want a better cellular experience while on the road, then you need a cellular booster that is powerful in both transmitting and receiving the signal.  The WeBoost 4G-X is that unit as it has 50 dB gain on the receive side (the most allowed by the FCC in a unit like this), and it has 29 dBm upload strength, which is a lot of power.  

The upload strength of this unit is what sets it apart.  If you have a good receiving signal, but you struggle with the transmission of the signal, then your experience can suffer.  The 4G-X has you covered on both sides of the equation, and this unit can provide a boost to as many as four devices at one time.  

This unit is easy to install and also offers accessories to this unit if you would like a different inside antenna or maybe you need an AC power supply. 

The kit includes the outside magnetic mount antenna, the amplifier, a flat bar inside the antenna, and a DC power supply (cigarette lighter style).

Description
BENEFITS 
• Extends signal range up to 60% farther than similar boosters 
• Stronger cell signal in your vehicle or RV 
• Fewer dropped calls & lost connections 
• Faster data downloads 
• Longer battery life – up to 2 hours more talk time 

FEATURES 
• Boosts voice & data signals
• Works with all cellular carriers
• All needed components included in the kit 
• Works with all smartphones & mobile hotspots 
• Simple installation

Simply plug the adapter into a wall outlet, position the indoor antenna near your phone or data card, and position the outdoor antenna on top of your RV.  The magnetic mount antenna needs to be on at least an 8-inch by 8-inch metal plate.  

This is called a grounding plane and works with the design of the antenna.  Since most RVs do not have metal roofs, you can install a metal plate or put one up temporarily when you get to your location (a cookie sheet can work fine for a temporary solution).

Weboost Cellular Signal Booster – Truck Edition

This kit is similar to the 4G-X kit but comes with the 24″ solid mount OTR trucker antenna.  This kit is very powerful, with 50 dB gain on the receive side and 29 dBm on the transmit side.  While the antenna has the same rating as the magnetic mount with the 4G-X kit, users state they get better gains with this kit because of the additional extension on the longer antenna.  

The trucker antenna will also give you a different mounting option since most RVs do not have a metal roof for the magnetic mount antenna that comes in the regular 4G-X kit.  You will see gains up to 32 times on LTE, 4G, 3G, and 2G.  This kit comes with everything you need, including the OTR trucker antenna, the amplifier, a flat bar inside antenna, and a DC power supply (cigarette lighter style).
