Starlink Port and Setup

View of outside Cable/Satellite port

For the 2022 Pottery Barn Airstream, the Cable/Satellite outdoor port can be repurposed to include a waterproof Ethernet connector (#ad) for Starlink!

We have a gen-1 Round Dish, so this connection requires no Ethernet wire crimping, only a shielded Ethernet cable (#ad) to run between this connector and your router.

  • Connections
    • Ethernet Cable (#ad): connect the cable from waterproof connector (limited space in the wall, so use the 90-degree plug end) to router (normal plug end) placed under the kitchen sink
    • Electrical: The router can be plugged into the microwave’s electrical outlet. Temporarily removing the microwave oven involves removing 6 screws and sliding it out to get to the outlet. You will also need a multi-plug outlet/adapter (#ad) so the microwave and route can be plugged in at the same time.

We decided to mount this 24-foot WeBoost Telescoping Pole (mobilemusthave.com) to the tongue jack. Here are the items needed for that:

Mounting Pole for RV with Stairs

The Flagpole Buddy system (#ad) is especially nice for those RV’s with stairs that access the roof. It comes hardware to mount the pole to stairs and a mounting adaptor for the Starlink dishy.
