Possible to use Omni-Directional Antenna to boost WiFi?

I'm looking to boost my Wi-Fi signal on a budget. On top of my travel trailer I already have a Magnadyne Omni-Directional Amplified AM/FM TV Antenna. http://www.magnadyne.com/catalog/part.cfm?PID...

The Loco M2 is in the $100 range with WiFi and you can go up the Ubiquiti food chain from there. One option is a short vertical antenna and bullet amplifier and WiFi.

I've been considering a batwing mounted Yagi and bullet amplifier. This would result in a very high gain setup but very directional. It's involves setup in the sense of raising/rotating the batwing. Flagpole mounting would be a option but with even more setup involved.
