through Hull connection for Starlink

[Webski]

Would like to hear experiences of running the Starlink Cable from Sat dish to Modem..

Have seen some hull attachment/faceplates.

Plenty of options, just looking for some pro/cons of application.

Would like to hear experiences of running the Starlink Cable from Sat dish to Modem..

Can you post which RV you have? Are you doing a roof mount? Where do you want to mount the modem?

There are many that already have chases from the roof to various interior areas for solar.

Then there are others, like mine, that are perfectly ok with running into the storage area through the water hose opening.

I would be interested too, is the chase large enough ro get the gen2 cable end through?

I thought about a through wall connection but decided against it. My modem is mounted in the pass through, cable runs out the hole in the tray to either the ladder mount flag pole or the stand if I need to leave it on the ground. I wanted options.

I have my Starlink router mounted behind the pass thru wall, and use these connectors to connect to the longer part of the cable going to the dish. https://www.neutrik.com/en/product/ne8fdx-p6-w I also put a hole in the same passthru wall to run the power cord out to the AC plug in the passthru. I then use the hole in the plastic floor panel to pass the Starlink cable outside.

I was hoping not to cut the cable. That is very picky cable to terminate. And it is not standard pairs... if u dont have a good tester, i would not recomend cutting. I run a security camera over internet so want the cable going through rhe roof.

I had built out a 12v Starlink power supply for my old trailer, and doing the terminations was the hardest part.

Just looking at some options and seeing what others have done before I start tearing things apart.

I'm installing mine too and just saw this thread and will be following. My first thought was to fish the cable from behind the nautilus but all of those cable go into a wire harness and come up under the slide. My current thought is to drill a hole under the slide and put a grommet into it and run the wire in and out from there. When we stay someplace we are there for at least a month so it wouldn't be that big of a deal to remove the drawer then run the cable in and out. Attached are a couple of pictures of behine the fireplace under the TV and under the slide where the wire harness comes in.

I have a Starlink + Cellular Enabled Modem (Peplink Max BR1 Pro).

For my setup I basically followed this video (starting at the 10 minute mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fg8GRRUfUVw&t=720s

The only real difference is the conduit box used in the video was huge and expensive, instead I went with a much smaller box that worked just fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XSTBJ36/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

So basically, my router is permanently cabled through the junction box. For Starlink I climb on the roof and run the cable down through the pipe connection. When it's time to leave I have to climb back up and pull the cable out. A bit of a manual process, but it keeps me from having to run the cable out of some other inconvenient spot every time.

I have a 382WB and use a ladder mount and pole from flagpolebuddy to put my dishy up. My router is mounted to the front wall of the rear side storage area on my door side. I bought a wall mount off of Etsy to do this with. I then ran the cable along the ceiling aluminum joists with wire holders and self tap screws to the back door. From there I was prepared to use a cable access I bought off Amazon and drill out a substantial hole in the back wall but no matter what piece I found to fit the hole it wouldn’t seal tight when shut. So after a ton of debate and looking around I finally cut a small notch in the metal lip of the back door frame - I pulled down the rubber trim piece that friction fits on the metal edge, snipped out a small piece just big enough for the cable then slide the rubber seal back in place. I then mounted an extension cord holder on the side wall inside the back door and wrapped all the cord around it except what I need to put on the dishy and extend it up the pole. The cable I do need goes through the notch and up to the dishy. When not in use I simply wrap it back around the cord holder without taking it out of the rubber seal notch. The door still closes tightly and seals up and the cable doesn’t get pinched or kinked. Takes just a minute to put the dishy up and I don’t have to mess with all that extra cable every time. Works super slick!

My Starlink cable comes up in the front passthrough storage with my FW hose. The router stays in there and I get good coverage throughout the trailer and outside around the campsite. OP doesn't say what trailer they have though.
