Storage Compartment Wireless Loophole
As a satellite installer for over 20 years, I've done a LOT of installs into campers. Customers always had choices, and I always did it in the way they preferred most.
I went through a LOT of slide-outs, which doesn't cause any collective issues.
As long as the gaskets are pliable, they pop back and smooth out between moves, and the wire rarely lays in it the same way every time, so no permanent wear to the same spot likely happens.
And when the gasket has list enough pliability to leave cable ruts, then it's probably time for a new gasket anyway, as it probably isn't sealing well in other places anymore either.
But that's not what I came here to suggest to you.
My favorite option:
If you have a storage compartment that has power in it, then that's a great place for the modem and router. (I have yet to play with a Starlink modem personally, so I don't know if they have a unified wireless router or not)
Some compartments have drain-holes, so a grommet is easily attained for these at hardware or auto parts stores that would accommodate your pre-made plugs. If there's no drain-hole, a hole can be fairly easily drilled, or sometimes you can follow existing penetration points for pipes or cabling with a flexible grommet or sealant... just poke through it with something dull enough to not skin the other cabling, preferably against the preexisting cables or piping, then push yours through, and let the hole heal itself without adding new sealant. It'll keep air from exchanging, and will still allow you to pull your plug in and out.
Designs vary with RV's so much, that no single nugget of advice will work the same for everybody.
But with the wireless routing originating in that storage cabinet, you'll still have plenty of range everywhere inside the camper, as well as around your campsite with no issues. Those under-carriage bins tend to stay fairly cool, and it cuts down on valuable shelf, counter, or cabinet space inside the RV too!
And BTW... if there's no electric outlets in an under-body storage bin that you'd otherwise like to use, it's easy enough to run electric to it using a purpose-bought 3-prong extension cord that you cut and splice back together after running it from a bin or other spot in the camper that has an outlet you can pull off of. Even with the heating element on the antenna in use during freezing temps outside, any 3 prong extension cord would be heavy enough to handle the Starlink wattage demands with no issues.
Good luck with it!
