Installed a Wilson Electronics Cellular Repeater system.
The amplifier/repreater is mounted on the outside of a cabinet just behind, and above, the passenger seat. The amplifier is only visible from the over-the-cab bunk. The amplifier is plugged into the existing 12v receptacle that is part of the TV hook up on the bottom of that cabinet. 30 feet of Wilson 400 Ultra Low Loss cable runs from the amplifier, down the corner of the wall behind the recliner (which is underneath the cabinet) through the floor and is then run along the frame to the back bumper. The point where the cable passes through the floor is well sealed with rubber grommets and a generous application of sealer/adhesive. At the back bumper, it connects to the cable that is part of the Wilson Trucker Cellular Antenna assembly.
The Wilson Trucker antenna is mounted near the top of the ladder using the three-way mount. The ground plane is just above the roof line of the motor home with the tip of the antenna being at approximately the same level as the top of the AC unit.
We have the Low-Profile antenna that came with the amplifier and it is mounted to the bulkhead just behind the passenger seat and right next to the recliner. I installed velcro strips in a
+ shape for mounting the Low-Profile antenna in either a vertically or horizontally polarized position depending on whether a regular cellphone, iPhone, or computer with Aircard is in use. The intention is that the recliner shall function as the "phone booth" for cellular calls and data center for use of the computers with the Sierra AirCard. I also bought the Wilson Desktop Antenna, which has more gain than the Low-Profile antenna, and will experiment for locations where it will work without inducing overload/oscillation.
