    My cell reception at the lake is poor while I’m inside my camper. My camper is on a seasonal spot, so moving it isn’t an option. I can get a great signal not far from my camper. I’m looking for an ampifier to get a little boost. The biggest thing is I need my phone to work as a hot spot while I’m there so I can take good care of my Jolly Ann customers in between guide trips this year.

    I’m willing to spend $100-$200 if I have to. What have you liked and disliked and why?

    Who’s your cell service thru? I have Sprint and the signal is my house is crap, so they sent me an AirRave free of charge and the signal most of the time is pretty good. I would contact your carrier and see if they would help out?

    It’s been since the original days of analog phones but may have one idea. When I used to travel in rural areas I added an antenna to my car. Just the difference of being in our out of the car made a huge difference. Maybe you could do something similar with your trailer?

    Good luck

    I had a stick on type did not make any difference-the more expensive ones do work 200.00 and up

    Check with your carrier. I have t-mobile. I was told if I had that problem they would provide me with a signal booster free.

    Ben, I have a booster I got from Radio Shack. Really improved things in our pole building. I don’t have the brand name right off hand but can get it if your interested. It was about $300.

    I would be interested in the brand and model. Thanks for your time.
