Truck Camper Wifi Setup
Hi everyone, I'm going to post about my wifi setup in my 1999 Lance 1130. It works pretty well so maybe you can benefit from this or maybe you could add to my knowledge. Here's what I've got (some p...

For the height and ability to rotate I mounted to the Winegard antenna. So that it wasn't having cable end into wind if mounted to arms I ended up making a mount for it that rotates with Winegard head staying vertical. Used its arm pins. Also made allowance so I can rotate the antenna either direction when TV ant down. Forward so cable isn't into wind on the road or back for storage. Offset is to place closer to AC so when camper covered doesn't poke into it.
Still want to add support when down so bouncing weight isn't seen by TV head. Round-toit but rain kinda put it all on hold. March isn't the time for outside project...
That and between USPS and amazon my Ethernet-net cable order got lost, twice. I did get it temporarily installed with an old cable, mostly to verify routing and TV ant still functioned. But with the TV antenna up, rotating I'm picking up half the town. I recognized few of the ssids, The range is simply amazing.
Couple of pics.
-showing the rotation lock holes
And antenna in lowered position
WiFi ant rotated down- this was before lock holes to hold up so over-rotated. Added pin lock holes in either store position to keep cable end lower when stored. Likely still seal once working.
Got the 'router' and power supply mounted in wardrobe. Removed bottom and back of cabinet for access. Cable will run thru upper cabinets and up into access box on roof. Added a switch and 5 amp fuse.
Just waiting for cable so I can button it up if rain stops.
