Wilson makes the best cell phone signal boosters. This is the version for vehicles. I think you could get one booster unit and 2 outside antennas. Attach one outside antenna to the truck and one to the trailer, and move the booster unit back and forth as needed. They are not cheap but they work well.
This was the solution I arrived at last night (after midnight) as I was scouring the internet for options. However, I plan on keeping my Sprint phone for now (S20 with a 50 GB hotspot). That may change...
Someone mentioned our route as a factor (which I recognize is huge)...what really kicked this into gear to be done RIGHT NOW is we are leaving on the 18th for 2.5 weeks to go from central Texas to Sacramento California (visit in-laws) and back. We will be sticking mostly to stops along major highways with the exception of Grand Canyon and Zion.
However, when we usually "camp" (i.e. not going to somewhere) we typically hit state and national parks. I am fully aware that many of these are not "ideal" for cell signal, in fact that is partly why I do it. It will be a balance of timing going forward - cell areas during school, non-cell areas when there is no school.
Thank you for all the info.
If you are travelling, you absolutely need to switch to Verizon. Sprint service is going to stink, anywhere outside of larger cities. Verizon has by far the best nation wide network, and the best coverage in rural areas. ATT is a distant second best.
