Yep, just bought one myself to use in our TT at our seasonal site.
First, it will NOT do miracles like turn none or one bar into 5 but it will help and how much help it is will be directly proportional to how strong the outside signal is and basically compensate for a signal drop that would be typical when you moved from inside the RV to outside. In general terms, we saw about a 5-10db increase in signal level (from about 105-110db to 95-100db) which was enough to turn our 1 bar ( into a high 2 or low 3 bar depending on how far from the inside antenna we were.
So placement of the inside antenna is critical in that it should be placed in an area where having the strongest possible signal is preferred. It simply doesn't have the power or range to significantly boost the signal more than 5' or so from the antenna, especially if the outside signal is weak to begin with. It also won't magically increase reception around the entire RV inside or out.
HTH.
