Cell Phone Use In An Airstream: Does Anyone Ever Have Trouble Getting a Signal?

[snog]

i was on the phone with a very helpful service rep from at&t a couple days ago. i told him i was thinking of buying a mobile home in a rural area and he informed me that the nearest cell tower to that zip code was 3 miles away, and that i should get 'good', if not excellent, reception. however, he did advise me that it could be possible, due to the fact mobiles have metallic structures, that i may not be able to get a signal indoors. i live in new england and wouldn't enjoy a frigid chat outdoors on a frosty winter day!!!

well, i wondered if anyone here could give me any info, seeing as AS's are, well, metallic.

any info would be appreciated. [of course, when looking at the mobiles, i will bring my cellphone and see if any bars appear on the phone.]
