Hello, I'm new to this forum and trailer camping. Just got my first purpose built travel trailer, which I am already using for remote projects, and will use for the first time this weekend to stay ...

Start with a good antenna. The "rubber duckie" that are on most WiFi Access points are not very good. Sadly the nest antennas are very directional (they work in the direction the are pointed). Omni-directional antenna just don't work as well.
The "best" antennas are a Yagi design. A horizontal stick with small stick coming out at 90° from the main stick. Very directional, but very good and cheap !
Because 802.11 uses two different frequencies (2.4GHz and 5GHz) you really need two antennas. If you are handy and can do some simple soldering there are DIY video on how to make your own. Accuracy of wire lengths and angle of bend is VERY IMPORTANT !
Also when frequencies are in the GHz GOOD amplifiers that really work are $$$ !
