Hi there,

I have been looking into getting a Netgear Nighthawk Router with some external antennae in a bid to get a better mobile signal, but recently have been looking into the WeBoost products.   

I'm looking for something that means I don't have to drill hole in my roof and can just magnetically mount it on my roof when I'm parked up to get reliable internet usage through mobile date whilst travelling through Europe.   

Does anybody have any good recommendations for a simple setup that will provide this?  I have noticed that no-one seems to use WeBoost products outside of the USA.

I will be working from the road at times and will need fairly decent upload/download speeds.

Thanks for any suggestions,
Lee :)

Hi there, I'm looking for specific, in depth, electrical advice from a professional electrician in London, UK, for a campervan conversion.    Does any-one know of any good individuals or companies who might be able to help advise on a setup and help with installation?

Thanks :)

Hello there!

We are planning a sprinter conversion, with an ideal outcome of being able to do freelance animation work whilst on the road.

The electrics seem to be the most daunting prospect, and we're waiting to buy the van until we can confirm that it's actually physically possible to use a fairly powerful laptop, without having to be constantly near a power hook up.

The laptop in question is a DELL Precision 5520, 2.90 GHz, 32Gb Ram with a 4Gb graphics card.
I know literally nothing about electrics but it says it's 130W and 19.5V on that small black box that goes between the laptop and the plug in the wall.   (inverter?  converter?)

I've watched countless hours of YouTube vids and have tried to learn the basic terminologies, but still can't confirm that it's possible to make use a powerful laptop for extensive periods of time.   My question to any-one out there is, is there a way to know how long a specific laptop will run for once you have chosen your battery setup?

If any-one has any advice on this, it would be greatly appreciated.   I would consider any set up at all if it allowed us the freedom to be away from a power hook up.  Solar, generator, big power bank, etc.

Thanks for any help.  :)
