If your like me, you need to unfortunately be connected even when camping. Now sometimes there is no option you are just out of luck and there is no service; but if your willing to make the investment then you just might be able to get service at your favorite campground. 

I have used cell boosters since i first discovered them last year in 2017. I purchased the Weboost RV kit for $576. This kit had a unidirectional antenna and was really meant for a stationary 5th wheel and not a motorhome.  With some ingenuity I managed to make this kit work on my old 26’ft RV. It meant everytime I stopped I had to connect and point the antenna in the direction of the cell tower or signal.

Once aligned I found that a single bar signal would be increased to at minimum three bars. With the internal antenna being omni-directional I could get a broadcast distance of about 15’ft or 5m.  

When we upgraded our RV in 2018 the old cell booster was sold with the old RV. With the new RV I decided to reinvest in a cell booster but this time with a omni-directional antenna. Attaching the antenna to a mast and the mast to a industrial suction cup, and then sticking the contraptation to the side of my dining room slide. I then ran the coax antenna cable through the seals on my slide to get it inside where the signal booster was.  This setup worked fine and I found the convenience of the omni-directional antenna to be a nice addition to our glampingware. The booster worked very similar to the old one. as long as there was some sort of signal in the area it would pick it up and amplify it. Typically I found I would get three bars of amplified signal, more than enough to use our phones, laptops, and tablets.

 If you need to be connected as often as possible while on the road glamping, then I highly recommend getting a cell phone booster.
