    How far is the wifi to the caravan?
    Something like this maybe? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000Q69L...53QNB58ZQ51Y9K

    Re: outdoor wifi

    You can go miles with wifi, heres a link to some info on range
    http://www.solwise.co.uk/networkingwireless.htm

    High gain directional antennas seem like the way to go initially but they good alignment to get distance, and ideally high gain both ends. You also want the cable length between the router and antenna to be as short as possible, and with as few connections and converters as possible.

    This lot
    http://www.wifi-antennas.co.uk/anten...-wifi.html?p=1
    do some good antennas, somebody I know used them to do a couple of boat installs. They opted for high gaon omnidirectional antennas, but that was mainly because they were not at a fixed location.
