Adding a Second Roof Satellite Receiver
#1

Good afternoon,

Last year I replaced the original rooftop satellite antenna with a in-motion unit, the Winegard RoadTrip T4 Satellite Antenna. 

It works as expected driving down the road. It works fine stationary on the front, primary tv. While the antenna is designed for two receivers... that’s where the trouble begins. Wife Not Happy trying to watch satellite TV in bedroom. 

So, it’s time to ADD antenna #2... a stationary rooftop unit. 

Mounting the antenna should be straight forward. Bolt it to the roof and seal up the mounts. 

Entering the coach with wires is my question. 

It appears to me for the original antenna wires, Newell has a hole into the front area of the coach covered by a fairing and sealant. I’ve considered using the existing access but I’d prefer to have a access point that can be used for multiple items if needed. “Items” would include satellite antenna wiring, future solar panel wires, cellular booster system, cameras, lights, the list goes on. It will be easy enough to develop a conduit network for wiring after I figure out a way to enter the coach in a waterproof way... 

Any ideas, suggestions, advice will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
JK
