Most networks now are wireless. It used to be popular to install network cables in newly built homes, but today, I have a wireless Wi-Fi router in my living room, and it transmits to all areas of my house, and outside for about 100'.
You really only need the router to have a good antenna to pick up the signal from that distant Wi-Fi, and then re-transmit around your RV. Then all your network devices can pick up that signal.
Check with a place like 'Frys electronics' for items like that.
I found that a Hawkins remote wi-fi antenna works great with my laptop to pick up signals from as far as 800' away. I used a 6' USB extension cord, and put the antenna into a baggy to keep it water tight, and placed that on my refrigerator air vent, to pick up a signal from all the way across the campground.
Good luck!

The reason for the CAT5 drops is that I have a server that provides media to my TVs. Although I have a Ubiquiti Bullet on the roof, I would like to run the CAT5 from the Bullet through the wall and from there connect to my Linksys router which is providing wireless to the household.
