We have a Mobile Command Center amplifier setup from Powerful Signal.com built into our trailer – though they also sell similar portable kits.

We’ve been mostly pleased with it – it often helps us take a marginal in-and-out fringe signal and turn into something stable enough to be usable.

Our AT&T devices are an EDGE and 3G iPhone, and we have a Sprint air card. Unlike many other amplifier setups, the Mobile Command Center amp can support all of these devices simultaneously – not just one at a time.

Cheers!

PS: I love the offroading videos on your site! We’ve got a good one of our own we will be uploading soon…

They do have great sites there! We stayed after getting to the canyon late in the afternoon. We wanted to see more of the canyon, and at least see the sunset there, so we grabbed one of those sites.

It gets cold there at night, too! We stayed there in September. No snow, but it was warm during the day, and I woke up to about 41F in the morning. The desert doesn’t retain the heat at night. They are great little campsites. We had our trusty tent, but it was the only place we used it on our planless trip across the country from CA to FL when I moved.

Hey guys, this is definately one of the spots we want to hit once we’re on the road, but we’re in the same boat as you… tethered to the interwebs with cell phones. We’re on AT&T and will probably remain so for quite some time. What kind of booster are you using and would you recommend it? Thanks!
