Check the reception inside and check it outside. That should tell you what the trailer is doing for signal strength.

I've got sorta the same problem, now that I'm temporarily living in my 20 ft TT, until my new DW house is delivered (for at least 3 more weeks).
We disconnected our landline phone, moved our AT&T router into our metal garage, and depend on our smartphones (mine is a Samsung S7, hers is a Samsung S6 Active) for our communications and internet (no room for my laptop & separate 22" viewscreen-my wife's laptop is for business use only). Problem is with connectivity thru the metal garage door, then thru the metal sides of the travel trailer. Our phones only get one bar whether inside or outside (we're going to get a AT&T Microcell to boost that, after the house comes).
Right now, we have to hold our phones near the windows facing the garage to get connected to our wi-fi, or raise the metal garage door. But, if it's raining, we can't, due to furniture being stored too near the door. Would a "router extender", that plugs in a wall outlet, help out in that situation, or will the wi-fi pose a problem for the duration (so far, even with only one bar showing on the phones, we've had no dropped calls).
