Jim,
A previous owner took a practical approach to circumventing the Newell original cabling. They simply went into the generator blower bay and using a long bit like Gordon suggested drilled up. If you look by the passenger side you will likely find a square tube covering some wiring and a heater hose. Mine has a couple of screws buried in the carpet holding it to the floor and wall.
From there they snaked the cable through the dash and up and inside the windshield pillar into the area where the entertainment connection resides.
If I need cable this is the connection I use.
The struggle for me, is that originally our era coaches used an elaborate switching system to connect TVs, cable, and the VCRs. Today of course all the TVs have multiple inputs eliminating the need for the switching box but the byzantine cable runs used originally have vexed me so I just bypassed it all.
