Gary ... in addition to the cellular antenna mounted up high near the top of the roof-access ladder, I have a 12 volt Wilson cellular bands amplifier inside. The antenna feeds the amplifier for incoming and the amplifier feeds the antenna for outgoing. With this setup, I can many times get one or two bars on our phones (Verizon, for the most reliable connections out in the middle of nowhere) when there would be no bars without the antenna and amplifier.
We also use this setup to amplify incoming/outgoing signals with a Verizon Jetpack for WEB access when out and about. For instance, with this setup we have been able to surf the Net 25 miles North of Plush way out there in the Oregon Outback.
However :E ... I guess that even if one can get a phone message through for help out in the middle of nowhere ... you have to be able to pay the possibly big big bucks for a rescue out there. There is no substitute for traveling with at least one other RV when going off pavement. I wish there existed an EORS (Emergency Off-Road Service) that would bail out a Class C stranded ANYWHERE in North America ... and that I could afford the premium for.
