Ethernet Cable Install in an Imagine 2800 BH?
Purchasing this 2020 RV and need to have a hard wired internet connection for work. Any ideas on how to get the wiring to the inside...would rather not have to drill into the RV, but if have to, your ideas please. Thank you.

You could always bring it through the slide seals.

Not sure where the TV cable line comes in on an Imagine, but maybe you could put the ethernet connection in the same area.

Just out of curiosity, why not a wireless connection? No drilling, just add a mobile router that connects to your cell phones hotspot or tetherered using USB cable, and wirelessly connect to the network/internet.
Saw this on Amazon:

Plan on geting one for our RV as well.Jim and Annette

From were to were?
I ask because I was able to run HDMI through cabinetry and wall. For me I wanted a HDMI splitter to support two TV's, one above the microwave and one in the bedroom.2022 Imagine 22RBE

Why not connect your hardwired device to a wireless router? Internet has to come into your camper wireless somehow, doesn't it?

I put an "outdoor" Cat6 in the docking station and connected it to an airCube in the over the bed storage. I used to connect the Nanostation each time we setup, but finally installed the Nanostation on a PVC "mast" mounted to the ladder and ran a "permanent" CAT6 cable along the frame and through the hose entry to the docking station.
As an alternative, you can always install one of these through the wall...

I installed an HDMI in my last camper. Putting a hole in a camper is more of a mental hurdle than it is hard. Certainly had to psych myself up for it.

Look up "ethernet bridge." This pair of devices plug into 110 outlets, one at the modem, the other at the desired location of the Ethernet device. It uses house wiring to move the signal and bandwidth loss is I believe much lower than any wireless bridging (like a wifi extender or wireless router).
