Weboost Drive X vs Drive Reach Cell Booster - What works better?

Our Winnebago View had the Weboost Drive X OTR with the “baseball bat” style antenna on a spring mount. This antenna was mounted 1ft above the roof and hit trees and other low hanging things (not ideal). It was fantastic to have additional cell coverage on remote trips. However, there were some limitations… it never could reach signal if our phones were offline and often it provided no real increase in speed or assistance. Overall, it was less than impressive. We installed the Weboost Drive Reach “car version” on our Northstar Liberty truck camper over 1 year ago. This “new cell booster” has twice the power requirement as the old “black” style booster found with the Drive X. This increased power has proven to be a game changer! This unit has a tiny “shark fin” antenna mounted on a 1ft square metal plate (for grounding plane) with a tiny .5 dbi gain vs the previous “baseball bat” antenna yielding 2-4 dbi gain. However, even with the tiny antenna it beats the old booster! We’ve had numerous situations where the booster has reached cell towers and turned our cell phone from “offline” to enough service to text message. This is a game changer! It has made a noticeable difference in both speed and reach. Still not magic… and doesn’t always help drastically. Nevertheless, this new Drive Reach is significantly more useful than the old Drive X. #truckcamper #weboost #overland
