We boondock as much as we can, so I bought a cell booster for the trailer with a yagi outdoor antenna. I now need to connect the two. The yagi is piggy backed on the Wineguard 'bat wing' TV antenna, making the direction of the yagi adjustable from inside the trailer. I will look at running the antenna cable through the TV antenna mount / hole, but a fiberglass insulated trussed roof is a real pain to try to run wire through after the fact.
My current plan is to mount the booster in an upper cupboard close to the antenna mount on the roof, and then drill a hole through the cabinet to the roof, using a cable entry plate for weatherproofing on the roof.
However, I am concerned about the fiberglass 'wabbing up' around my drill.
In the linked video below at about the 4:30 minute mark, an RV company drilled through the fridge cavity of a motorhome to the roof with no issues. I have an Arctic Fox travel trailer that I know has fiberglass batts in the ceiling. I have no idea what the insulation was in the motorhome.

So, am I likely going to be able to drill through to the roof that easily without the batts wabbing up around the drill bit?
Thanks.
