We use AT&T mobile phones, and bought a cell phone booster (after a bit of research) through Amazon. Wilson Electronics – 460101 DT 4G – Cell Phone Signal Booster for Small Home or Office
. the cost was a one-time cost of about $250 We were able to suction cup the 5″ antennae to a window.
Then I went to the AT&T store to get a personal Wi-Fi hotspot…separate from our cell phone personal hotspots….some refer to it as a Mi-Fi device. It was only 99 cents for the device which was just added to our phone plan, and it shares our cellphone data. It’s a square just a little thicker and wider than a cell phone. I place it near a window and aim it until I get 4 bars showing. We have a 30GB data plan that is shared among our devices. We have 4G and LTE service. My laptop is a Lenovo Yoga Pro2
and the wireless connection within the RV (a 35 foot Class A) is excellent.
Our desktop is a 5 year old Sony and it needs a tethered connection with either our phones or with Mi-Fi via USB. Over the 9 months we have been RVing, we have stayed connected! I work remotely doing internet research, transcription, for University Lectures and projects for businesses needing to know information about new technologies, products and competitors in their industry. We have been in Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah in the last 9 months; in National and State Parks, Interstate Highway reststops, WalMart parking lots, Golden Corral parking lots. Using iPhones, iPads, laptops and a desktop PC. We are always connected.
Hope that helps someone out there.
Wow, people have tried a lot of different systems. We are park hosts and stationary for 3 months at a time. I don’t like using harsh chemicals, so after my husband dumps the tanks, I add 1 cup of Borax and 1/2 cup of Calgon. We keep the tanks closed for a week at a time. Staying on a schedule and the Borax/Calgon solution has worked for us. We have been full time in a 35 foot Class A for 9 months. Oh, and we do not put paper in the toilet, do use grocery store bags for the TP and my favorite thing…we use Shea Butter Huggies baby wipes. Nice for us and a gentle scent:-)
