Orbi loosing Internet Connection
I know this topic has been drug through the mudd! I’m thinking the system is overkill because it’s in my 5th wheel. Which is 40ft total. And the satellite is about 20ft from the base. It’s hard to say...

Try running the Orbi router base only with out the satellite? 20 feet is too close.
30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.

What is the Mfr and model# of the ISP modem the NG router is connected too?
Slow speeds wired or wireless?
What channels are you using? Auto? Try setting manual channel 1, 6 or 11 on 2.4Ghz and any unused channel on 5Ghz.
Any Wifi Neighbors near by? If so, how many?
What WPA security modes are you using?
