Running wires through an rv roof.

I did a painstaking process of trying to wire up a new power panel in our rv. Simply follow the step by step instructions detailed here and you be watching satellite tv in no time. The least obtrusive way is to drill a hole or holes in the top back corner of the cabinet s. First drill holes in the side of the box for cables big enough to fit the threaded end of the cable gland make sure to leave room for future cables.

Be sure to check out the latest gear i use on my adventures. I chose to mount the box over the microwave. In a couple of our rigs this meant simply routing our wiring through the roof vent for the rv refrigerator. Run wires in the back of your rv cabinets.

Insert the weatherproof cable glands and tighten them down. This allowed my wires to enter behind the microwave where they would be hidden from view. Running wires from inside the rv to the roof is usually a snap. If your installation also includes an input for cable tv on the outer wall of your rv then this conversion will allow you to create a dedicated satellite tv cable without the need to run new cable lines through the coach.

It s best to be close to your battery bank storage area. That way your wire is as high as possible and all the way at the back so it doesn t interfere with your storage. If you have ducted air conditioning you can run wire through the ducts.
