Technical Support / Re: Starlink Passthrough - Installation and Cable Routing - Need advice

« Last post by Michael Wettstein on July 17, 2026, 05:41:06 PM »

Before I mounted a Starlink on the roof, I used a Starlink Mini plugged in to the 110V outlet in the wet bay with the wire going down through one of the bay access covers.  I was able to put the Mini anywhere around the coach necessary for signal.  No router required with the Mini.  It is a great solution while stationary.

I mounted the other Starlink on the roof because I could never get the Mini to work well in motion.  I work remotely while my wife drives so good stable connection while in motion is necessary.

    Walter,
I bought a couple of 28" spring loaded cafe rods from Walmart and put my Starlink II in my skylight and still get a 275 mb download. Fred

I drilled the hole in the staircase by the door hinge.  With the door open I can stoop down and pass the cable through the hole and into the router on the dashboard.

I make sure to push in on the doors when I lift the latch.  Also some WD40 helps some of my doors.

Another look at it.......     If your coach is like ours, then the doors open outwards and their bottom edges swing up vertically, and what sticks on one side of the door when opening it is the retractable nylon catch about half way between the top door hinge and the bottom of the door.  The catch is not mechanically adjustable, but the catch's receiver can be moved a bit or the nylon leading edge can be filed down to shorten it.  Usually what I find to be successful in opening the doors is to make sure I lift the door latch completely up as high as it will go to fully retract the nylon catch.

Note:  Our coach's curbside slide basement door is farther to the rear and its door is a double-wide panaflex style bus basement storage door.  It also catches on one side and is difficult to open.

Look at your other doors, there are small blocks that keep the door centered.  When they wear out or fall off the door can move back and forth.

Walter,

If your Marque is anything like my patriot you can remove the wet bay panel and see where the hot and cold lines enter the lower kitchen cabinet, bath vanity,ect.  That should get you to a counter level.  If you want to go higher you may need to add a chase to conceal the cable and go into the upper cabinets.  Hopefully this will help you some.

Technical Support / Curbside Basement Door Sticks on Opening

On my 2001 Marquis Jasper double slide, I am having an issue with the basement door just to the aft of the AquaHot bay.  The one with the slide tray behind it.
When you open the rear end side of the door releases but the top of the frontend side is catching on something.  To open you have to get your finger on the open side top and work to the front pulling the gap open.  When you reach just passed the center it will pop open on the right side. 
Initially I thought the door was not aligned properly and the right side need to be lowered.  However lowering that side will make the gap between doors uneven as it won't be square any longer.
Not sure what to do here.  I don't want to take a grinder to the top inside lip of thge door, but don't know what else to door.
Any ideas on how to fix wouold be greatly appreciated.

Walter

Technical Support / Starlink Passthrough - Installation and Cable Routing - Need advice

« Last post by Walter Davis on July 16, 2026, 11:27:54 PM »

I have a 2001 Marquis Jasper double slide.
I am installing a passthrough connector for my Starlink Gen 3 cable.
Today we run the cable through a slightly open window usually in bedroom or kitchen.
I purchased a passthrough fitting that I plan to mount in the plumbing bay in the stainless plate.
I need advice on where and how to run the inside cable from the inside of the plumbing bay to the curb side of the bedroom or salon where it will plug into the router. 
Bedroom is closer but unclear where to punch a 3/4 hole to feed the cable through the floor.
Anyone done this before?
All helpful ideas or experience will be appreciated.
