I just purchased a Winegard 8000s satellite antenna and I've read through the install instructions. But since I'm new to the RV world and have never pulled any wires, I thought I would ask for advice here.
I'm planning on mounting the dish unit close to the front in the center of the MH. My question is, what kind of space can I expect to find between the roof and the ceiling? Once I drill the hole for the cables, can I use a fish tape to pull the wires to the front of the cab where the other cables for TV exist? Do I have to pull down any interior ceiling to pull the wires?
Also they suggested sealer for the holes and mount on the roof! What is the best sealer to use for that?
One more question: where is the best place to find 12 volt connections in the front cab above the windshield? I was planning on tapping into an existing map light by the drivers side and running the 12 volt for a backup monitor and the satellite system. Is there a better way?
Thank you
