I need to run (2) Ethernet cables from outside the coach to the entertainment center above the driver. One is for internet and the other for TV over the Internet. My thought was to mount the Ethernet hub in the water and dump compartment on the drivers side where the coax cable TV hookup is. Does anyone know the cable path to the entertainment system area, and the easiest way to run new cables?

I also was thinking for ease of not having to run cables, about "Ethernet over power" adapters, which use the 120v power system as the cable plant for Ethernet. Anyone used these or other technologies to avoid running cables?
Thanks Mike

This goes in the "How can I not know this by now" file. Our 12 kw Perkins has been getting a little touchy about starting up. So much so that I blew the glass 20 amp fuse in the Gen control box in the gen set while cranking it. I notice that even when warm, it take 2 or 3 tugs on the dash momentary switch to fire up the gen set. I have a "mystery" switch on the dash panel labeled "fuel pump" which I have not touched in our 3500 miles of travel. I am thinking it's for the gen set? If so, should it be on the entire time the gen set is on, or just for start up? When I turn it on it runs  and does not cycle off like an auto fuel injection pump.

I had a ballast fail in one of the lights, time to convert to led.
Rigid led strips and a dc buck converter to keep the supply steady at 12v.
Light output in each fixture is about 300 lumens, noticeably brighter than the tubes they replaced.
About $6/ fixture in parts.

I am at a RV park in Apache Junction, Arizona, and I have an electrical issue I have not figured out.  Yesterday I washed clothes and the washer worked perfectly.  However, when I used the dryer, the dryer turns but will not heat.  I assumed I had a dryer problem.  Then last night I tried to use the range, and it would not turn on.  All other appliances, including A/C, seem to be working OK.  Not sure though that both compressors in each unit are working.

This morning I disconnected the dock cable and started the generator.  Now everything works including the dryer and range.  Breakers all seem OK.  Not sure if I have a switching problem in the coach, a problem with the outside power or something else.  I will be out on Monday so it will be Tuesday before I can ask to a new site to check for outside power.  Any suggestion on what I can do to isolate the problem?

I ordered a VMSPC from Silverleaf today...but I am torn as to what to display it on or where to mount display.

I have a new Microsoft Surface Book that runs Windows 10 and has a couple of USB ports.  It is overkill for this, but can be setup like a laptop or like a tablet.

I know some others have Surface Pro tablets.  These are cheaper and lighter and could work.

Any thoughts about the ones you have used?

I also need to figure out a place to mount the display.  I know some have just tucked a tablet in front of dash gauges.  I am worried that I cannot see the display.  (I can barely see the gauges over the steering wheel).

I already have an iPad mini mounted to the right above the dash that runs the weather radar program I wrote.  

So, does anyone have a setup that they really like?

Cheers,
bill
