Now I will get this post finished....sorry about that!
Well, managed to pull the two new RG6 cables from the roof to inside the coach. The old RG58/59 cables were ty-wrap to the structure and would not budge. I had thought about pulling the ceiling down but eliminated that real quick....see Richards post below. Tried a few other methods and finally got a flexible fiberglass rod. Punched through the foam and got down to the cabinet over the mid entry door. Was able to pull two RG6 cables back to the roof without too much trouble.
The old MV3500 antenna was mounted to a flat plate attached to some hat sections that spanned the distance between two ribs. Resealed those screws and mounted the new antenna to the plate. Finished all the roof work now off to the interior.
I have to say thanks to Richard for the inspiration to install this myself as opposed to having someone else doing it....I don't think I would have been happy with the results.
