There are 3G routers where you just plug your USB dongle into the back of the router. They start on eBay from £30.

i currently have my dreambox set up in my caravan

the setup i have is:

dm500

3 mobile broadband dongle

zoom 3g router.

all works fine, the zoom router cost me £60 pound in maplin but you can buy them on ebay cheaper, but be careful to check that the router is compatible with ur dongle

Tethering and a wifi bridge is another option. (Not all phones are picked up by the wifi bridge).

I was using a Mifi and wifi bridge before I changed phones. Pity most mobile broadband top ups expire in 30 days.
