If I was gonna get fancy I'd figure on a telescoping mast that flips
down and stows on the side of the trailer, and a client bridge with a
directional antenna that I could aim at the AP.

The perfect solution is to use a wifi client like a Loco M2 as a
station. Then wire it to your own AP inside the camper. That way it's
not an extender and doesn't cut throughput in half.

Customers sometimes ask what is the best “WiFi booster” for their
RV or camper. I assume they’re talking about a range extender.
I’m generally not a big fan of range extenders, but if you’re
sitting in a big aluminum can, I guess you need something. (I
thought most campers these days were fiberglass though.)
I have no clue what to tell them. Anybody have an answer?
Doing a Google search, I see there are somewhat pricey devices
from vendors like Winegard that mount on the roof, run on 12VDC,
and some can even take a SIM card to use LTE if there is no WiFi
available. Or should they just get a regular range extender and
set it in a window powered from 110VAC?
I’m also going to assume that at a campground, the usual procedure
of pressing the WPS button doesn’t apply, and you’d have to
actually tell the extender the WiFi password?
