   Hi pjp,   
      
   Most of this thread covered silly semantics, and then the post you   
   responded to covered legal limits, where I apologize for those two:   
      
   On semantics, the precise words don't matter when you're trying to get   
   something done - like you just asked how and if you can do it.   
      
   On legality, it's like wasting time cautioning everyoine who buys a ski   
   mask not to rob a bank using it ... it's just not the time and place to   
   worry about breaking the law, since you have to TRY to break the law.   
      
   Dan showed you "could" break the law, which I appreciate, but that's like   
   saying you could break the law by using a ski mask to rob a bank, which is   
   to say there are a few other things involved after you buy the equipment.   
      
   So now to your question ... there are others who can advise you BETTER than   
   I can, so I'll let them trump me ... but to help you where I can... let's   
   clarify the questions, first.   
      
   From what you said we know...   
   1. You're a km a way from the RV   
   2. You want WiFi at that RV   
   3. Presumably that WiFi will be "beamed" from your house (or vice versa)   
      
   The first and most important question, is whether you can visually "see"   
   the RV. Where I live, we can see for scores of miles, so that's not such a   
   silly question. But if you're in dense woods, you won't be able to visually   
   see the RV.   
      
   If you can SEE the RV, then certainly all the stuff we're talking about   
   will work.  Even if you can't see the RV, we can "make" it work, but,   
   really, "most" of this thread was about Line Of Sight (LOS) transmissions   
   (mostly, although you can go shorter distances through structures since   
   radio waves are really just fluctuations in electical & magnetic fields).   
      
   If you can "see" the RV, the kilometer isn't going to be a problem   
   (although we have to look at the "gain", mostly from the antenna, on both   
   ends).   
      
   First key question:   
   o From your roof or from a window or from a pole on the ground or from a   
   treetop within a few hundred feet of the house ... can you "see" the RV?
