When planning a wireless network you determine how many people would be present at peak times, use the 2-3 device estimate per person, and then you usually use a percentage of that to determine the day-to-day traffic. So if you figure 2 devices per person, with 2 people per trailer, that's 32 potential devices. I'm not sure what sort of percentage you'd use in this exact scenario, but it's good to look at the worst case scenario to plan for capacity in your network.
Yes smartphones can use mobile data, but most people do not have unlimited data, and connect to WiFi whenever possible. If there is WiFi, they will connect their phones to it. Mobile devices are the primary use on residential and educational wireless networks.
Metal is a bad material to try and get wireless through.
It could work if you have an AP mounted next to a trailer, such as every other or every 2 trailers you mount an AP on a pole of some sorts.
Okay.
I will start with that one long-range AP and go from there.
