Problem with RV's is they're basically a metal can. And the metal blocks wifi very well. Sometimes putting the extender/router in a window can help with this.
The other issue is some RV's parks require you to connect and login with terms and conditions. They don't let you just use a standard wifi extender. (not all parks are this way).
So if you're moving around alot to different parks, I'd actually recommend more along the lines of a travel router that supports WISP mode.
WISP mode allows you to connect to a wireless network and use it as a WAN port. This lets you go through the terms/conditions without issue.
Sadly netgear hasn't made one in years that supports wisp mode.
