I know how easy it is - because I took the time to read up on how to run a 4G router with external antenna during covid when our rural fixed line broadband couldn’t cope with the whole family on zoom all day. But then when our neighbour wanted to do it I had to sit down and give him a lesson, and then I ended up in a long conversation with someone from the community council which had already piloted a mobile data solution and decided it didn’t work - entirely because they picked the wrong network provider, didn’t know aerial selection and placement was a thing, nor that the hard data that would have facilitated their trial becoming a resounding success is open source and easily accessible, providing of course you have the confidence and sufficient motivation to use it.
Which is the point about boating and camper van people - it’s a self selecting group which is already used to finding innovative solutions to their needs. Not representative of your average home user.

At which point they still won’t change.
