The rains ended at Death Valley leaving reflective puddles in the salt. Gorgeous sight. Will have videos out once we finish our visit in a few days as the internet is limited down here. :) Cheers, Ray

I'm not certain, they don't publish much about the internals, but my feeling is it has some boost to it as it pretty worked well in weak signal areas, I imagine it's limited to 50 dB gain like all the other mobile solutions. I see that people that really need fringe coverage usually go with a Yagi antenna mounted on a mast and pointed at the nearest cell tower.

weBoost has this kit solution https://www.weboost.com/products/connect-rv-65 but looks like a pain to set up all the time.

Awesome :up: going to download the app. Thanks!

Yes, a few hours later a snowstorm hit. We were safe in a friend's driveway with hookups. :)

They are sort of apples and oranges. The TOGO RV Winegard is a single cell data hotspot on the single carrier AT&T. The weBoost amplifies all types of cell carrier signals and can do multiple devices at the same time.

The weBoost is a booster with the outside cell antenna to a cell amplifier in the rig then the signal is rebroadcast by an inside cell antenna.

The TOGO RV has an outside cell antenna that captures the ATT cell signal then converts it to a WiFi signal and feeds it into a WiFi signal router then rebroadcasts it via WiFi antennas inside the unit itself on the roof.

Having said that the last trip I did to the US for 6 months we only used the weBoost system 3 times. I'm finding cell coverage is improving to rural areas each year making the booster less and less needed. The biggest pain point I encounter now is crowded, slow cell towers when that happens speeds slow and disconnects happen, no booster can solve that. That's why having multiple data devices and carrier options helps as many times one carrier is slow and another is fast.

I'm actually testing a different cell booster right now as well from American Booster. https://www.loveyourrv.com/rv-cell-signal-booster-installation-american-booster-voltex-50/ Headed to Death Valley today and hear cell signals are weak there so it will be a good test for both systems I hope.

If you want it done right and to last, then Eddie is definitely your man. :up:

In this video, I give you a quick look at the new Lion Energy UT 1300 lithium RV battery. I’m swapping out my model UT 1200s for this latest offering.



The new model is the same footprint but about 3 lbs heavier. However, the capacity has been upped from 90 amp hours to 105 hours and 1344 Watt-Hours. Nominal Voltage is 12.8 VDC.

Too bad, when we visited a number of years ago in 2012 there was a sign that said you could camp for 3 days on the land out there.

:love: Do they still allow camping near the metal sculptures?

OMG haha!

In this video, we take a day trip from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay on the Pacific Coast Highway (California Highway 1) Highlights include footage from Natural Bridges State Beach and Pillar Point home of the famous Mavericks Beach. Maverick is famous for its extremely large surfing waves.

My new truck came with 80 PSI tires. The factory set them at 80 PSI for the back and 65 PSI on the front. I upped the front to 70 PSI and everything seems to work well towing. My rear seems to wear way faster but likely due to the extra weight on them and maybe the exhaust brake action or spinning with all the torque these new trucks have. :) I've rotated them after 15K. They are just the OEM Firestone tires.

Nice! We have friends that just moved from Hollister over to Scotts Valley to a retirement type community with modular and park model homes but has 5 RV hookup sites for guests, so made a nice stop so close to the coast. :)

So far I've filled at $3.69, and $4.10 and now at a casino with $3.39 so in close to cities it's around $4 out in the rural areas closer to $3.50

Cool! :cool:

Playing around with my Reolink Go security cam as a game cam. Left it on the ground last night and caught this big-toothed furry dude digging up the campsite!

You're welcome. :)

Sounds awesome!

Thanks, will take a look. :)
We visited in 2013 - https://www.loveyourrv.com/exploring-death-valley-national-park/
At that time we stayed at an RV park in Beatty NV and drove in to visit a few times, looking forward this time to camping down in the valley at Furnace Creek for a week.

Thanks, luckily it doesn't look like much for the CA coast except a temp drop into the 60s. :)
