Running Antenna Wires

[grandliving]

I want to mount a few antennas on the roof for wifi and cellular service. I would like them to end up in a central cabinet somewhere. I was thinking the one on the side of the hutch right when you walk in the door so my wifi is in the center of the trailer.

What would be the best way to run these cables from the roof to a cabinet inside?

The only way from the roof to the basement without drilling a hole in the roof is via the waste tank vent UNLESS GD started putting the conduit in like the solitude has. If you use the vent, drill a hole big enough for your cables in the basement as high up as you can, drop a pull string down the pipe find it and pull in cable up to the roof , seal the hole back up. You should be able to drill up through the floor under the hutch. Good luck

The Momentums and Solitudes have a prewire plate on the roof starting in 2017, hopefully you have this on the Reflection as well? You can always ask in the tech corner and get an answer directly from GD.

I was hoping to be in the cabinet in the overhang above the hutch but im not sure how i would go about it.

I ran my solar wiring through the roof and into our closet. You can do the same. Drill a hole from the hutch cabinet up through the roof. Go slowly and probe for electrical wiring as you go. At the opening in the roof, install a solar or wiring gland and seal it with lap sealant.

But i will need a total of 5 wires. Which did you use?

[TucsonJim]

I only had two wires, but I'll bet someone makes something that will work for you. I'll be back home Sunday where I have better internet and I can help you with the search or show you how to create your own. You might also do a search for combiner boxes to see if they'll work.

Amazon Reviews of that gland don’t look very good.

An ABS flange to an inverted U bend would make a rain-proof roof exit for any number of wires. If you pull the interior trim ring from the bathroom hatch vent, you might be able to see inside the roof cavity over hutch. I would use a long 1/4" drill bit from the inside to create the pilot hole and then a hole saw from outside and inside to create aligned holes of the final diameter. There are crosswise roof beams and AC ductwork to be missed in selecting the hole location .

This is the kind of recommendation i was looking for. I wonder if its possible to get a layout of wires and ductwork from GD?
