weBoost Connect RV 65 Review: Tested at a Cabin

Originally written by Holly Malone in 2021-05.

2026 update: This is a hands-on 2021 review of the weBoost Connect RV 65. weBoost’s current product listings now label the Connect RV 65 as discontinued. The company currently sells newer stationary RV systems, including Destination RV. Also, the Sprint example below is historical: T-Mobile retired Sprint’s LTE network on June 30, 2022.

weBoost has been a product that I’ve trusted for years because it works. I have had a few weBoost products over the years and find that they really make an unbelievable difference.

That said, the RV booster is officially for RVs. It says it in the title and therefore the concept is this is for RVs. So of course the best place I figured to test this was at my uncle’s cabin in New Hampshire which literally is not an RV but in the middle of the White Mountains. It’s so desolate, I couldn’t think of a better place to go and not be stuck in an RV.

In his house, I am lucky if I can get one bar on a good day. What made this awesome is that with the weBoost 25-foot tower I was actually able to turn it towards the nearest cell phone tower.

I noticed an immediate pick-up in signal. I even unplugged it and plugged it back in to see the difference.

At the time of this 2021 test, one of the other major pros was carrier compatibility. I had Sprint and my uncle had AT&T, and the same booster worked with both phones. The Sprint reference is now historical because that network has since been retired.

A lot of devices say that setup can be a breeze but I actually found this to be done pretty quickly. It takes a little bit of jimmy rigging to aim it in the right direction, but I actually didn’t find it that hard because there was only one cell phone tower in his town.

I used a cell-tower mapping app and found it rather easy to point in the direction of the only tower in town.

When I recorded my cell phone speed before and after, I could really compare the difference. In my test it went from 8 Mbps up to 50 Mbps basically from plugging and unplugging the device.

If you have a cabin in the middle of nowhere, my 2021 test showed that this RV system could work there too.

Current product note: weBoost’s own current listings mark the Connect RV 65 discontinued. See the archived/current-status product page or weBoost’s current RV booster lineup for newer options.

P.S. I forgot to take a morning shot of the tower, so you’ll have to trust that it’s on the back.
