Ethernet Connection at Site

I’m at a camp site with an Ethernet connection port for internet access. I’m looking for suggestions on how to route the Ethernet wire from the exterior site port to my router (without having to run the Ethernet wire through my window or door). I have a 2017 flying cloud 26u with the factory installed internet in motion hardware and router...all stored in the front upper cabinet with the dvd. Thanks in advance for recommendations.

If your router is near the fridge, just crack open the vent door at the back of the fridge and run the wire temporarily through this space.

Yup! That is the best way to go. I had seating to the right of the fridge (looking from the rear fridge door) and drilled a hole large enough for the wire.

You can also set up your wireless router behind the fridge and not run it anywhere! There is 12v back there as long as your router's tranformer is 12v. Jut cut it off and wire to the 12v back there.

Thanks for the exterior refrigerator panel suggestion. I’ll give it a try.

The Answer: Powerline Ethernet Adapter

A bit late to the thread, but wanted to share a different solution. My International Serenity 19 is parked in the driveway, I often use is as an office. The WiFi reception in it is terrible. What I ended up finally doing is: I ran a Cat6 to the garage, then used a Powerline Ethernet Adapter to get networking inside the trailer through the shore power connection. You end up paying around 3ms of latency, but the throughput is line rate of uVerse.
