In this age of advanced communications, it’s common for RVers to have a smartphone within reach to not only communicate but for mapping destinations, obtaining information, and accessing RV-related apps. Can they be handy on a vacay? Yes. Are they functional for online applications when there’s limited or no cell service when boondocking or at a remote RV park? Not really. Think airplane mode while flying on an airline.

Many cell signal boosters are available on the market and come in a variety of styles and capabilities.
As RV experiences vary from place to place, so does the overall quality and reception of cell signals. RVing is all about being independent on the road. The first way to do this is by understanding what your RV is and isn’t capable of. To avoid being stranded in the wilderness without the ability to make an emergency call or even know your current location at times, it’s
For these reasons, you may want to consider a cell signal booster – one that is designed for use in an RV. Of course, the kind you choose will all depend on the type of RVing you enjoy.
Not every RV enthusiast is the same. Some like simple, weekend getaways or going from park to park during a multi-week trip. Others, particularly baby boomers, may stay on the road for months at a time or enjoy an RV park for extended periods. Naturally, each type pf RV enthusiast has different requirements when it comes to needing a cell signal.
Fortunately, RV signal boosters available are designed with a variety functions, taking into account where and when a cell signal is needed most.

The latest Drive Reach is RV-friendly with minimum components after installation.
Strong, Reliable Cell Signals on the Road
For those who enjoy quick getaways, the journey is almost as important as the destination. Maintaining cellular connectivity to access Google Maps, knowing a current location with GPS, and staying in contact with family or friends are all of the utmost importance.
Choices vary, yet cell signal-boosting systems such as the Drive 4G-X RV from weBoost comes with a variety of functions. Some of the most appealing functions is that it can support multiple users and their devices simultaneously while on route, allowing signal bliss for everyone. It’s compatible with all major US mobile carriers for boosting the available network speeds on the open roads throughout North America and can maintain strong signals at a RV park where signals are weak. It can also increase hotspot capabilities to support streaming services like Hulu or Netflix on tablets, smartphones, and other cellular-connected devices.

The RV 65 has a strong reach in remote locations when more signal power is required.
Cell Signals for Extended Use
Sometimes, an RV adventure is an extended event - one that involves a setting up camp in the remote wilderness where cell towers are miles away and the bars on your device are non-existent.
A step up from the Drive 4G-X RV is the Connect RV 65. This has a maximum gain of 65 dB, making it more powerful than an RV signal booster. It comes equipped with an 8 m (25 ft) telescoping antenna pole, allowing its outside directional antenna to maximize reach to the nearest cell tower.
Unlike a cell signal booster, this system is dependent on its extended antenna arrangement, meaning it can only be used when an RV is parked and remains stationary for long periods. Nonetheless, you’ll be provided with a strong, reliable signal in remote locations, thus providing the ability to stay connected to send/receive calls, texts, email, or communicate via social media. When not in use, it can be easily dismantled and conveniently stored in your RV.
Regardless of your online requirements or how you enjoy travelling, an RV signal booster is a worthwhile investment, allowing you to stay connected and tuned in with ability to communicate in a variety of remote locations or where signals are weak.
