I built a antenna pole beside my ladder and put a hole under my back window.

I used PVC pipe and put a pipe union as high as I could reach with a stool. With the other half union I made a short plug to use while traveling and another half union for the antenna mast. I have more photos if I can find them I will post them.

More photos, I'm still missing the interior shots and installation. (I'm looking)

These are my final photos for this project. I did it this way because I didn't really want to poke a hole in my roof and fish the cable somewhere.

I installed a WeBoost cell phone antenna just ahead of of my kitchen vent. Ran the cable on the roof to a hole that went in just behind the passenger side overhead storage. Mounted the WeBoost on the cabinet.

Sealed the hole with Sikaflex.

Works well. I'll send pictures tomorrow.

we try passenger compartment just didn't seem like any room too make the corner.....

[Homebrew]

I fished a wire down the frig vent for the wifi extender and fished a solar wire down the plumbing vent to the basement

[matt58]

I don't have a frig vent on my 34qs it is electric...What plumbing vent in the basement

[Homebrew]

I have a black vent pipe from my grey water tank that passes through the basement up the wall in the bathroom and out the roof.

Yes. I did a write up on it here

I added a 20db directional antenna on the tv antenna mast.

I installed an Amped Wireless range extender behind the tv in our bedroom. This range extender comes with dual antenna. I bought a 10' extension cable and mounted a 9DB antenna on the roof. The external antenna gives me better connectivity to the campground wifi and the inside antenna provides a good signal to all devices inside. Total cost, about $100.00.

I added a trucker/RV Antenna to my roof, just in front of the kitchen vent (as far as I could go from the front passenger seat). I show this in the first photo.

Note two features:
1. I cut 6 pieces PEX 1/2" pipe (white) and drilled them so that they would fit over the lateral antenna parts and then secured them in place with some cable ties (black). The screw in parts can fall out easily and this prevents them from snagging on foliage as I drive under a tree.

2. I mounted this to a 1/8" (nominal) pipe arrangement with a covering of PEX pipe so that this would allow the antenna to rotate if it snags a tree branch. The pipe arrangement is attached to the roof with a pipe-threaded floor mount. Everything is glued in place with Sikaflex (grey).

The second photo shows how it goes through my roof. I sighted everything off of items that already go through the roof, such as vents and air conditioners. Again, it is sealed with Sikaflex.

The third photo shows the WeBoost mounted on the cabinet above the passenger (the kitchen slide is retracted on the right).

I put a wi-fi antennae on the Batwing TV antennae. Ran the wire on top of the roof to the bathroom exhaust fan. Drilled a hole in the side of the riser on the fan housing. It's covered by the lid on the fan as well as the shell over the whole thing so no water gets in. From there I ran the wire in the ceiling over to the wall and down inside. I fished it down inside the wall and came out inside of a cabinet in the kitchen. Works great!

On my 34qs doesn't have a batman type antenna. I have a Rayzar Automatice which was install when I bought the 34qs. Having a problem snaking the wire from Wifi Ranger down too the compartment. Never been thru the slides was thinking of going thru the closet in the back. Just trying to find a common way too snake it down too the compartment without making a mess.
