I just received my Starlink system with a standard panel and inside router/access point.  I'm curious as to if any of you have any suggestions on the best ways to get the wire from inside to outside and still maintain a decent seal on the camper.  I suppose I could find something to put the AP/router in to be able to leave it outside. Has anyone here dealt with this yet?

THanks in advance!!

From other forums, it seems folks use solar ports and battery vents mounted in a convenient spot

Thanks for that! The only thing rolling around in my head so far was to possibly make use of the refrigerator vents for the purpose and come in beside the fridge control panel.  Kind of a pain though pretty much any way you look at it UNLESS someone maybe made a female to female jack thing that I could put in place of my solar port.  Doing it that way I would have to have another of their 'special' cables that go between the panel and the AP/router.

Does your 178 have TV (not tow vehicle) antenna cable connections on outside? That might work depending on the type of cabling your running for your starlink controller. Or maybe you could adapt that connector to work for your purpose.  Just a thought, hope it helps.
