Starlink Gen2 to Gen3 cable routing

We bought a Gen2 unit in November of 2022. In less than a month I accidentally pulled it off a patio table and it did a swan dive onto the concrete breaking the dishy. Leaving a big crack at the top of the dish, I repaired it with some Eternabond tape. It was unsightly but the dish worked using a flag pole mount. We run the cable down the pole to the 50amp cord box, into the Oasis box and across the DS to the compartment where the Dirt Devil and a couple of 110v outlets are. I also ran an ethernet cable up into the mid-bath cabinet where my Pepwave is mounted.

Fast forward to today, I decided to upgrade to a Gen3 system. Initial impression is it works better than Gen2, is it worth the extra $700? If you have high demands like I do, I'd say yes.

New issue, unplugging the cable from the Starlink router and the dish is a PIA I had to use a small screwdriver to reach the tab for the cable. Any suggestions?

I bought the Starlink Wall mount and I'll adapt it to mount to the pole

Thank You, I had the kickstand pulled up and didn't pull back.

Anyway I set the whole thing up yesterday and couldn't be happier.

I used, The antenna pole from Mobile Must Have. Starlink Adapter for Fiberglass Antenna Mast again from MMH. STARLINK Wall Mount - Standard Kit V4 Got this from Home Depot
and Flag Pole buddy mounts.

My inspiration:

We purchased a Gen 3 several months ago. I have been looking for easy and efficient ways to mount the dish above our trailer for best reception. I have been considering the MobileMustHave pole and brackets and came across your post. Could you possibly post a photo, or better yet a video of your setup and how it assembles?
