R6400v2 bridge or access point or vlan

I have a peculiar installation question.  In our RV we have a wi-fi gateway for controlling the slides, lights, etc. This unit is seperate from any internet connection. I would like to be able to only have to connect once and not have to switch back and forth from the controller wifi to the wifi in the campground. The unit in the RV also has a static IP of 192.168.1.1 (can't be changed) and needs to see the router at 192.168.1.2. I have setup my AC1750 R6400v2 to be able to do that. My question is how can I connect to the campground wifi signal through the R6400v2 at the same time? 

Would this be setup as an access point, bridge, or vlan? Or some other way with other hardware?

   That tells me nothing about what it is, to what it's connected, or
how, or how it's used.  Maker?  Model number? Any useful information at
all?

 

> [...] This unit is seperate from any internet connection. [...]

 

   But the R6400v2 has some kind of Internet connection?  Any clues on
that?

   If you say so, then I'm willing to pretend, but I've never seen a
device whose IP parameters "can't be changed".

   How, exactly?

   What should I already know about your "the campground wifi signal"?

   I don't know enough about what you're doing with what, or how any of
it connects to anything, to make a guess.
