Another couple additions to the camper.
Easiest was adding Starlink. Went the cheap route in case things didn't work out, found a suction cup mount on Amazon for ~$30, and got a 3 meter cable with cigarette adapter. The mount fell down a couple times when I first set it up, I think the suction cups were deformed from shipping and preventing a good vacuum. Set it up again right before a week long road trip and it has been working great. Temps didn't get too hot (~55F highs) but definitely got cold (two mornings at 16F). The cable works ok. Most of the times I used the Starlink I was at camp, stationary. But one time I tried to use it while driving (looking at maps trying to help a lost hunter) and the cigarette plug side wiggled out. Didn't really investigate if it was the plug or receptacle.
Another simple bolt-on accessory addition was a paper-towel holder. Not the cheapest accessory and like most things marketed for vans, it was over-priced. Quality is not lacking but it just seems expensive for what it is. I winced a little when buying it, sighed a little bit when installing it, but haven't thought about it much since (till now really lol)

I mounted it on the ceiling L-track right above the sink, it clears the fabric when closing and rests a couple inches above the counter top with the roof down. The lid/cover is tensioned so it keeps the paper-towels from unraveling.
