Newbie boondocker seeks LTVA with internet

Hi. I've been a fulltimer park rat for a couple years, but will start boondocking this winter in southwest US. I just installed 960 watts of PV panels and 830AH batt bank and amps for cell and wifi. Also, I'm getting an extra water bladder and macerator/tote for black water. I'm in a fifth wheel with 100 gallons of water, 38 black, 72 grey, with 18 gallons of propane (2 x 40#).

I'm trying to find a BLM LTVA location where my WiFi Ranger Elite and weboost 4G-X will find a signal, because I still work. I haven't used either amp yet so I really don't know their capability. I'd like to be able to watch youtube videos. I'll use my satellite for TV.

Don't know if this kind of connectivity is ridiculous or whether there are suitable locations. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'd like to stay in this spot for 3-4 months.

Thanks

    Imperial Dam has Verizon coverage in most areas, but weak or non existent AT&T.

  • Quartzsite BLM areas have excellent cell service even without 'boosters'.
  • Is there a way to map the cell towers near a specific location, such as Quartzite?
