  1. If you're looking for just a cell booster, You have plenty of good advice and options here. If you're looking to share data with it, here is a link to an article I found very helpful. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f53/40-month-unlimited-internet-interested-442091.html
  2. If you have pulled trailers with Bulldozers and 30,000 lb loads, you will be fine. I have three rules when I'm pulling something new, until I get very comfortable with it. One, If I have someone with me, they are not allowed to talk to me unless I ask a question or tell them "Now I'm good" when I get in an relaxed situation like on a highway stretch. In heavy traffic, making turns on side roads, backing up, maneuvering in a parking lot or fuel station, I want my entire focus on the trailer as I adjust to the newness of this particular trailer. Distraction is dangerous. Two, I take it slow. No rushing doing something new whether it's backing it the first time, hooking it up the first time, everything needs focus and thought until you've done it enough to make it second nature. And then, still use a checklist! All three of the times I've done something stupid to damage something brand or nearly new to me, it was caused by being distracted or being in a hurry. Last but not least, number three is the old G-O-A-L, GET OUT AND LOOK when in doubt. It only takes a second to check yourself and if your not sure, make sure. Using these rules, I've made it about 20 years without a damaging OOPS moment. And I'm going to have to use them hard come spring as I only got 1 trip home from the dealer and 1 camping trip in before I had to winterize. So come Spring, starting over because those two were not enough to build any muscle memory or significant familiarity yet! Good Luck in your adventure, take your time and don't stress, just focus.
  3. Really depends on how many you generally cook for and how you cook. Generally we cook for 2-4 people although we have a couple large campouts where we have about 3-4 other couples join us. I have a weber Q2200 grill and a Camp Chef Ranger III 3 burner stove that gets most of the action as we prefer to cook outside unless weather makes it impossible. I have a 12" skillet, a 10" skillet, a 1 and 1/2 gallon saucepan and that about covers our needs when it's just the 2-4 of us. If we are doing a group thing, One of the people that comes has "Big Daddy" which is a 20.5" steel skillet that we can use over the camp fire grate or on top of one of our propane burners we have from the turkey frying kit. https://www.agrisupply.com/big-daddy-skillet/p/72357/ Makes great stir fry, chili and can cook about 4 lb's of bacon in nothing flat. As far as utensils, must haves are long wood handled tongs, spoons and spatulas. Nothing worse than trying to cook over a fire, grill or stove and getting your knuckles burned because you're using 5" salad tongs to turn steaks over a campfire or trying to stir a pot of chili with some plastic spoon that wants to melt and is getting flimsy.
  4. Weber Q 2200 fan here. It's all Aluminum except for the cast iron grates so it doesn't rust! It has cast iron grates which transfer heat well and give great grill marks. It has a grease tray on the bottom that you can buy aluminum tray liners for that are easy to remove and don't fall off like some of the use a soup can on this wire thing some grills use. It's the easiest to clean of all the portable grills I've looked at. A quick scrap of the grilling surface after it cools, remove the grates and scrape the rounded sides down towards the aforementioned grease tray and remove the tray if it's near full. If not, replace the grates and wait till the next use or before you pack it up to go home. Besides that, it cooks great and parts are readily available at most big box stores if you need a new grate, ignitor, grease tray liners or anything else. I have a weber Q 2200 for camping and a 3200 for at home.
