RV campground wi-fi & cellular antenna/repeater

Friend uses an RV where campgrounds have varying degrees of wi-fi andcellular signal depending on the campsite chosen.He asked me for advice where I would like to ask GENERAL questions of you.The first is for cellular which is whether they sell a cellular repeater foruse not at a home but in an RV that moves to different places? I suspect not, so then the rest of the questions are related to wi-fi.For distance, is it true that 2.5GHz travels farther (assuming obstructions)than does 5GHz? Noise shouldn't be a problem in a campground but distanceis.The power supply can be the batteries of the RV or 120VAC at the campground.The laptop has an ethernet port on the side. And he has an old router too.But his main problem is amplifying weak signal which most of the time hesays exists at the check-in desk but it's too low to be useful (phone callsor wifi) at the camping spot.When I looked for radio/antenna setups the first I found was these. then I found this at streakwave which is more cost effective. questions I have about those $80 setups is what's the difference to himof a 400 mm horn versus a 300 mm long horn (100 mm does what?).And given he doesn't know whether they'll have 2.4 or 5GHz, do they make apowerbeam or bullet or rocket that is both 2.5GHz and 5GHz at the same time?In the end, for around a hundred bucks, what would you recommend for an RV?
