I am looking for a cell booster for my new RV. What are my options?

Last I looked WeBost and Solid Signal. Can't say one is better than the other. I CAN however say how they work.

You have an "indoor" antenna you mount inside your RV.. A
And and "outdoor" antenna.. More on this in a bit

And between them is a black (or other color) Box with the magic in it.

Now if the antennas are too close to each other.. bad things happen

But there are two thigns about the outdoor antenna.
First there are two types. Directional. and omni-directional.

Directional has greater range. but you have to "Aim" it.

HEIGHT IS MIGHT.. Get it as high as you can and out of trees if possible... A flagpole is a good idea.. or other form of mast.. 20-30 feet up

Of course being the tallest object in the campground has disadvantages in a lightening storm.

I have a cell booster at home, so I know enough about them. The one we have is directional.

Ideally, I'd like to mount it to the roof of my RV on a short post. Unidirectional would be better for us so that I do not need to mess with it every time we move.
