Nice install guys! I also appreciate nicely machined parts. It’s the little things. Jim is good at what I like to call Airstream project yoga. I have crammed my self into the refrigerator hatch while chasing for wires. Well done! ~Andrew
Thank you Andrew! Jim is kinda particular, if you haven't noticed.... LOL. But, it is a really good thing. Yes, for sure Airstream Yoga! I like that. It is crazy some of the places he has to get into, and he is a big guy! I guess it is part of the DIY world. -Michelle
Great install video! It's the attention to detail like the rubber grommets that is so important to show. Also, the use of blue Loctite will be important when you need to maintain/troubleshoot your air conditioner. Man, your roof is clean. I know what I'm doing later in the week...
Thanks guys! Thank you for your kind word. It was a pretty long process, but we believe if others are going to do this, it was valuable information. Also, chapters are nice because you can move forward and backward, according to what you need to see. Uh oh, cleaning your roof time? :) Michelle
Another great video. I wish you had included how you tied into 12 volt power and ran the cables up on top of your trailer. This is a future project I would like to do myself. Thanks again for posting this.
Half the 12V fuses in our Airstream’s panel are unused. I snipped off the cigarette lighter plug, stripped the wires and connected it to an empty fuse. It still is working great… but it can’t boost nonexistent signals. We are at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula and there is no cell service here. Thanks for the comment. - Jim
Great job on the installation! Hi Boost just sent us one also for review. Since your installation was so thorough I’m just going to send everyone to your video once we’re ready!😂. Which will be awhile. Again great job!!
Thank you Andrea for your kind words and great feedback on the video! It was a pretty complicated installation! We hope the detailed demonstration will help people feel confident to make this upgrade if they are considering it. Michelle
We haven’t been to the Rockies since I installed the HiBoost. We are in Michigan’s UP now, and it is helping us to get a better signal. Service here is terrible, and the HiBoost is definitely helping, but a boosted a super slow connection, is still slow, just not super slow. 41Mbps down and 4.15Mbps up in the morning. Slower than that in the afternoon and evening. - Jim
Not really. I can easily lay my hand on the booster, it's just slightly warm to the touch. We are in a good cell area right now, it is possible it will be warmer in a poos service area. I plan do do an update when we are in Michigan's Upper Peninsula this autumn. - Jim
Hahahaha! You and Jim have the same need for symmetry! :) He wants to replace the Dometic screw with one of the sheet metal screws he bought. Thanks for the offer, but I actually don't want him back up on the ladder. LOL!

Good job. We use wifi calling on our phones through our starlink when we don't have service. Lynn and Danny
Thank you. That probably works too! - Michelle

Nice job. Hope it works well when boon-docking. Dr. Dean
Thank you Dr. Dean and Valerie, we hope so too. -Michelle

Wow! Glad you liked it so much. We are glad you have one too and we sure would appreciate the love. . . . :) Thank you for your kind words. Michelle
Great job, I’ve been looking at that.
Thank you! We have been happy with the results so far. We look forward to testing it out in a cell area that is not so good. - :) Michelle
Great review and installation. Such a well done video, I love the screen shots of your speed test.

A very well-detailed unbox and install video!
Thank you very much! - Michelle
You sure did a nice install Jim, looks like the booster works! Thanks for sharing..
Thanks guys! It does work well. Looking forward to seeing you soon. :)
Nice Job 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Great review. Question? Have you used it in the mountains, like the Rockies? Thanks for sharing! Seiry

Does it generate a lot of heat?

I have a matching Dometic sheet metal screw if you can PM me a shipping address! This offer probably reveals more about my own obsessive nature . 😅
