Title: Starlink Passthrough - Installation and Cable Routing - Need advice
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.

Walter

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.

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.

    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

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.
