Hoping the electronics/radio engineers amongst us can confirm my thoughts.
Folks have a like jayco windup camper (minus the slide out bed extensions) with 2 x lithium batteries and Redarc manager under one of beds.
I was having a convo with folks last night at ge
grey rest area east of pt hedland. speaking to SWMBO everything was fine apart from bit distant. passed phone over to old man and phone call became very patchy broken to point I hung up on them.
Would having all the elecrics under his bed be causing some form of electrical interference to the mobile phone ? .
Speaking to them today when in
Port Hedland call was perfectly OK, he also mentioned he puts the AM/FM radio on her bed away from his bed for better reception as
well.
Would lining the bed base with aluminum cladding assist shield the interference like a faraday shield ?
I'm also bit wary of adding too much insulation as management system gets tad warm and really needs good airflow like the built in fridge. I'm also considering installing a vent and possibly a fan to vent some heat out as done on fridge.
Thoughts welcome

Bit hard to move camper to try replicate the same conditions, move don further west since then.
Suspect maybe something with the BMS but I'll have to try and repliacet the same situation, time will tell on that one.
Maybe signal strength issue but seems odd worked OK for one person and bugger all for another all within 2m of each other.
I gave the locations involved no point in supplying further details outside of the specified subject area.
