Dennis, to clarify: you’re using the Gateway 1000 without a sim card in it so it functions as a signal booster inside the rig, and then your Jetpack is the Mifi device you connect devices to, correct?
I know you basically said that, but I’m finding it a good idea to be double-sure before I shell out the cash for the wrong thing!
Thanks,

I'm going to install this now. I have an ATT unlimited business account I'm going to call and give them the sim number for the ATT sim in the Winegard and use that sim. It's on an att unlimited plan with unlimited calling/so forth but I'm only going to utilize it for it's hotspot internet, I'm pretty sure it would work just like if I inserted it into an ipad.
I have pulled the wires out of the coach and have the loop. Just so I have this right and don't have to do things twice, I wanted to spell out my step and please let me know if I'm missing anything.
1. turn off power to the coach and disconnect battery (I don't want to mess with the fuse box)
2. Cut the loop
3. Connect the harness black to the loop white and use a cap
4. Connect the harness red to the switch.
5. Connect another wire? to the switch and tie into loop with the orange line on it. What size wire do I need for this?
6. Activate the new sim and test.
7. If testing works, stuff it all back into the ceiling and mount it.
Do I have that right?Ed & Kaitlin

I know this isn't the latest thread on the Winegard Gateway, but it seems to have the most info so I tagged onto it. Trust me, I have read all the related threads several times!
Based on the info I found here (thanks to all), I installed my GW1000 in our Solitude 2 days ago with excellent results. The factory supplied power was just a loop, so I did have to cut it and splice in the supplied power cable that comes with the unit. Chose not to install the switch at this time as I don't have a dremel with me....also I think I can reboot it by pulling the 15 amp fuse for that loop. Maybe add the switch at a later date.
Setup was pretty straightforward, just followed the instructions.
We spent 2 1/2 years in a MH with a WiFi Ranger using a cheap Visible phone as a hotspot, so that's what I intend to do here.The Visible will only allow 1 device to connect to the hotspot, but we connect the Winegard to it, then connect TV, computer, ipads and phones to the Winegard. So far working like a charm. Not sure how one over the air signal can supply data to all those devices simultaneously, but it does. Especially for a $25/month plan with unlimited data! Definitely want to hang on to that one.
I suspect I'll need to add a sim card from another provider at some point, but as long as there is a good Verizon signal I think we are set.
As someone said, it's definitely a DIY, just read all the posts first.

I have the Air 360 plus installed from the factory on our 2019 Momentum 28G. But, there is no access to the wires on the inside of the toy hauler roof? I have looked everywhere. Maybe the factory forgot to run the wires and put a cap on them. There are only radio speakers and A/C vents on the inside of roof. I don't know what to do as we would like to purchase the router for internet while camping. Thanks for any advice.
