Antenna Attachment Point?

My dad’s a camper. Well… sort of. He spends about a month per year camping in his RV. He’s got a laptop. It has a wireless internet connection. But he can rarely use it because his “wireless campgrounds” tend to have a single WAP at one end of the campground. In their office. With cheezy little antennas. And a picnic table outside so you can drag your laptop out to it and do your surfing there. It’s a little less than ideal. So I’ve set out to fix this for my dad. I’m going to make dad a beefy antenna for his RV. The antenna will have a USB wifi dongle inside it so there’s VERY low RF loss. A USB cable will then plug into his laptop. That’s the plan, anyway.
