Why do cellular signal boosters only work inside an RV? Won't the boosted signal spread to other vehicles?

Occasionally, I come across some really good questions that I've never thought to write an article about before. Here's one of them. It's really just a simple geometry problem, but let me tell you about it.
Cell phone signals, like all types of radio waves, propagate evenly in all directions from the point of broadcast. In other words, a cell phone signal looks like this:
0
The problem is, your RV looks like this:
0
This means that in order to get cell phone signal coverage throughout the RV, a lot of the signal seems to overflow, like this:

These diagrams are simple, but you get the point. So, the question is, why isn't this a bigger issue?
Here's the real story
A cell phone signal booster in your RV is a great idea. It solves a big problem: you probably have poor cell phone signal in your RV. It's not your fault, or even your phone's fault. RVs are built to be very signal-shielding. All that metal, wiring, and even the wooden cabinets effectively block cell phone signals from getting in. They also do an even better job of blocking signals from getting out. That's why people tell you they can't hear you, even if you can hear them.

Cell phone signal boosters use large outdoor antennas to receive signals and then broadcast them inside your RV. They work the other way around: they receive signals from your phone and then transmit them to a signal tower. The whole process is instantaneous and incredibly effective. So, let's talk about why you don't have to worry about your cell phone signal leaking out to the world.
First, Your RV Blocks a Lot of Signals
The reason you need (or are considering) a booster is precisely because cell phone signals have trouble getting in and out of your RV. The same is true for cell phone signal boosters. Most signals are effectively blocked by RV walls and cabinets. And here's the kicker: realistically, these signals simply can't penetrate that far into your RV. Even if they do, the signal will be picked up by the booster's outdoor antenna, and the booster will reduce its power until complete coverage is achieved.
Second, Don't Worry
Yes, your signal booster's signal may reach several feet outside your RV. But that's not a cause for concern. Even if another car is close enough to receive the signal directly from your booster's indoor antenna, it's likely to block the signal before it reaches your phone inside. Even if you're stuck in heavy traffic, the chances of these signals reaching other vehicles are very small.
It's also important to note that even if someone connects to your signal booster, it doesn't mean they can see your files or use your data. The connection will be very weak, making data usage very difficult. Generally speaking, every cell phone signal has added protections to keep your data safe. I mean, you don't have to worry about someone standing next to you and stealing your phone data, right? I suppose it's possible, but unlikely. Your phone and the cellular network are locked down. So don't worry.
Now, most car signal boosters do limit simultaneous connections to eight devices. So, what if someone else is connected to your signal booster and you want to use eight devices? Again, this scenario is impossible in reality. Even if you have six phones, a cellular router, and a hotspot, all of these devices will connect to the signal booster when you're out. There's no other way for outsiders to connect. Furthermore, it's rare to have eight cellular devices in an RV. Even if you do, it's likely that at least seven devices will be connected simultaneously.
Looking to improve your cell phone service at home, work, or in the car?
If you're unhappy with your service, don't switch carriers! Instead, try a cell phone signal booster. Signal boosters are compatible with all major carriers, and if you buy one now, you'll get at least 5-7 years of use without worrying about wear and tear.
