Hi Brandon,

So sorry for the delay. I kept forgetting to ask Chris this question. We purchased the:

SIGNALBOOST™ DT Dual-Band 800/1900 MHz Desktop Amplifier (801247)

as well as this:

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

Hi! My family has started down a similar path and I’ve been following your blog for a while. We are traveling to various renaissance fairs around the country but still based out of our house during the off-season. Hopefully soon we’ll get a larger camper but for now we are living out of a pop-up while travelling.

I’ve got a question about your post – which of the Wilson boosters did you get?

Thanks!
Brandon

Thanks, Karen! We’ve met so many wonderful people who are living a similar lifestyle or who at least understand it and it’s always so great to hear the positive comments. It definitely makes the negative looks or comments easier to ignore. Safe travels!

Oh, how I know “those” looks! It doesn’t matter if you are a young couple having a baby, or an older couple with grandchildren 1500 miles away, some people will NEVER get it. I do, and I commend you for doing what you are doing. I wish I had known about this lifestyle when I was so much younger.

Thanks, Valynne! Yes, I can usually tell immediately those who don’t get it. It’s definitely always nice to find those that do understand! Makes our explanation so much easier.

Just can’t understand the negativity some folks have. Why take the time to write negative comments? I’m definitely getting better at ignoring it…sort of.

Looking forward to our New England summer and look forward to following along with your experiences as well. Thanks for the comment!

It is funny how some people just don’t get it and others just do…obviously I happen to be one of the ones that just do : )

Congrats for living your truth and not letting the trolls get the best of you…I hear these types are typically jealous and/or miserable by nature. How sad to be them!

Oh, and congrats for hitting the year mark! And for finding a beautiful spot to call home for the duration!

Thanks, Everett! Yes, I have definitely got to get some thicker skin and ignore those comments from the trolls.

Don’t take anyone giving a low ranking personally. If there is one thing I’ve learned about “putting yourself out there” on the web, it’s that you need to develop a thick skin. People say mean things that they would NEVER say to someone in person because they feel that sense of anonymity. We call these kinds of people ‘trolls’ because they just troll around the internet looking for an excuse to say negative things.

I love your blog. Keep it up! And keep up your lifestyle as long as you want, as I’m sure you will do anyway. You only live once, and it is a short life at that. You are creating some great memories right now that you will cherish forever.

Cheers,

Everett

Thanks for the comments! They mean a lot! This was a more personal post and one I had mixed feelings about writing but we get these same questions so often from people we meet that some readers may have similar questions. So, thanks for the encouragement!

The campsite is really fabulous and offers privacy – something that will be very important once the baby comes along. I don’t want the crying (mine or the baby’s) to disturb any other campers!
