- bluie5ExplorerI've heard of some being put in the closet in the bedroom. Others have put them in the basement. Might just have to try different places. I'm hoping when my 5er comes next spring that I won't need one.
- bad99ramExplorerI have a 42Ft 5th wheel and Do Not need a repeater. I also have the 507
- huntramExplorerWe didn't need it until we bought the longbed crewcab. Then it would randomly loose connection. We bought the repeater at Quartzite. Installed it on the rear wall of the front cargo area. The area under the hitch. Haven't lost connection since.
- BB_TXNomadMine is mounted to the back window in my truck with double sided adhesive. But I have a 12 v outlet in the storage area under the back seat. I added an in-line switch so that I can easily turn it on or off depending on towing.
- Butch50ExplorerWhen I had my MH I mounted the repeater in the last wardrobe closet and I wired power to the wardrobe light. It was on the hot side of the light so there was power on it all the time. My MH had the multiplex panels for lights and I could shut off the wardrobe lights from the panel anytime I wanted. So when I wasn't in the MH I just shut the wardrobe light off at the control panel and shut the repeater off. Then when we traveled I just turned on from the panel wardrobe lights. Worked great.
- hbillsmithExplorerThere's a 12-volt cigarette lighter style plugin at the right side nightstand in the front bedroom. We leave the extender in a drawer and then plug it in when we hookup and head out.
- jims1ExplorerIn the pinbox and pulled 12v from the junction box.
- Ron3rdExplorer IIIThanks for the info!
- Garry_GayleExplorerI pull a 39' 5th wheel with a 15 F350 CC DRW and I have the 507 with flow thru sensors and it works with no repeater.
- ArcamperExplorerMine is in the generator bay up front and works great. I have a red lighted switch for it so it does not stay on unless I need it.
