Would this be helpful to a newbie truck driver to help dock a 53ft. cargo trailer? Would it loose reception at that far of distance?

Would be iffy at that distance & the screen is so small it may be hard to see what's what. Better to get used to using your mirrors. They work in all occasions.

It will send the signal that far but the trailer will interfere with quality. If you put the camera on the side so that the camera sends the signal along the side of the trailer and not through it you should be ok.

It's not like 100 yards or anything. I've tested it within about 40-50 feet of the camper and it works well. There are a too many variables to get a good answer, like where did it get mounted, did the installer (you) stretch the antennae out and secure it to something, how is it positioned inside of the mounting surface, is the antennae mounted inside of something like wood/metal/plastic dash parts, and how well is it grounded? Where are you mounting it and what are you using it for? that may help get a better answer, but for $20 you really can't go wrong.

I don't think you will like this for towing your boat. I only used mine one time, and that was only about 400 ft on grass moving a 3500 lb camper using a small tractor. It felt very loose and wobbly and I wouldn't have used it if I had time to find something else. I was only going about 3 mph. It made enough torque to bend a hitch adaptor I was using so I can imagine it might be able to damage itself. A non-adjustable shank with the drop or rise you need is probably a better idea.

Probably not. It works well in a three man tent, hanging 30" directly above you, but a cargo van is so big I don't think it would make much of a difference. And I think you'll be running through a lot of D-cell batteries if you need it on a regular basis!

No, it's not meant to reach that kind of area. I'd call Wilson. They're support is really great. They may suggest something like this with different antennas or they may suggest a home sized unit.

it should work fine once you google how far the nearest broadcast station is located from where your RV is Parked. Not sure it will bet good connection while Driving

Yes will work. Line of sight is the best. To increase the signal strength. Replace the omni antenna s with yagi s face each other. For a greater distance.

I agree with the other replies. You will need something much stronger for a good signal..

I have a crew cab F-150 with a 5'5 bed and I don't have a problem getting the signal. Every once in a while it will go out but comes right back. I love having this system.

It depends on you radio and mounting location. Sometimes the shorter antenna is the better option when driving offroad.

I doubt it would work very well unless the liner is flat and in full contact with the trucks bed on the sides, otherwise the bracket wont be supported well enough by the self tapping screws you have to use to attach it. Also the cable holding up your tailgate prevents the box from swinging out far enough to make these boxes accessible. Im not that happy with mine to be honest

That should be no issue. That is approximately what I have if you include the mast and the antenna. I don't do a lot of movement from station to station. You may find that may be a hindrance to your needs. It has been though the winter and several strong storms and no problems yet.Hope this helps

I've trailered mine a few times but my distance is short, about 8 miles and my speeds are only 55. I didn't have a problem.

No can't point down that much. It does have some pretty good range but you won't get your trailer hitch. Good luck. Pretty good system but would like a bigger screen.

That is a little far, this thing might not make it, you may need a higher powered AP with a separate high gain directional antenna. I've had it work well up to 200ft.

I haven't found it to be helpful. My signal from the base is as strong as this sends and it's 20 feet further away then the device.

I think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.
