I have a 2021 Elite II.  Can anyone suggest method a way to get coaxial able into the interior?  I have some SO239 to SO239 bulkhead connectors, but don’t know where to mount these.  Has anyone used the CATV cable port?  Are there any good places to just bring the cable inside?

You could certainly use one of those 2 CATV ports.
They are quite easily accessible in the basement once you unscrew the covering flexible wall board.
You could then drag a cable up into the attic space which also has AC power if needed.

I use the KISS method....  just like I do with my Starlink cable. I pull it in through the window, by opening the screen a tiny bit. I keep it pretty snug but not too tight, and ditto with the window shades, so that the bugs are held at bay. 

If you are wanting to install a place to pull the cable, you might try looking at some of the threads people have posted about mounting ports for Starlink cables; some people created a location by going through the garage up to the upper rear bulkhead storage, I think.

Hello from another HAM.  

I have used the existing "Furrion brand" Cable TV inlet ports, and added a third one, for an RJ45 pass through and for a 12 volt outlet.  They can probably be drilled out to fit your SO239 connectors.  This is detailed in my posts "Don’t cut your Starlink Cable! There’s a better way to install Starlink…"  and "Starlink Mini, breaking the 12 volt barrier"  

There is a wide spot between the trailer walls on the street side attic next to the AC drain tube that you can fish wire into the attic.  My other posts describe this too!

Cheers Geoff
