wall penetration for coax
Right now I have the coax from a directional wifi antenna going under the screen and back window. I just bought a cell booster AND a wifi booster and will have two coax cables coming into the camper and have no wish for another untidy penetration and will likely send both through a sidewall or the rear wall. I haven't seen very many coax penetration covers. I know King makes one for the roof but don't think it would work without some removal of material. Suggestions?

Use a standard box or low voltage ring and an exterior weather proof cover.

This one is a King product also. I assume you will run the cables across the roof then down the wall to the penetration point on the wall. Your cables would need to come down just below the hole and then turn up into this cover (assuming the cover entry needs to point down for waterproofing purposes).

Is this a permanent connection, or are the devices removable?

I guess the devices could be removed for some reason at some point. One is a small omni antenna for the wifi and the coax goes into a router on the inside. The other is for cell and it goes to an amp then into an interior broadcasting antenna for cell signals.
Cell:

Got this one for wifi (from amazon and not wallys)

Bought two expanding pole mounts so the antennas would not project up when traveling but would be about 5' above camper when in campground.

Will probably use adhesive plastic D channel to cover cables in the camper as I believe the cell inside antenna should be as far away from outside antenna as possible.

Don't have any input on the cable runs but, yes you need to have the inside transmitter as far away as possible from the outside antenna and also not pointed towards it.

This is the biggest issue with RV's! I have two sections of PCV 1.5" conduit that I place my antenna on and the boost unit is in the forward part of the 5er.
