There's nothing near there that i know of that would cause such problems
(they're a RV
manufacturer).  And that's not the only room in that building that has
strange problems like that.

Had something like that happen in an office building in Raleigh, NC.  Space
had just been wired for LAN, things hummed along for a while, then one day
in September the two users on the outside wall coulldn't login.  When all 3
of our pagers went off at the same time with garbage messages, and the
user's radio wouldn't pick up anything across the band but the college radio
station a few blocks away ... which had started operation after summer
hiatus ... we knew something was up.

The wiring guys had run the cable in a floor tray from the closet, then it
made a two foot kink straight up to the PC.  The quickie solution was to
change the geometry of the wire run.
