Dum question

[campervanannie]

I’ve decided to go down the tv route in my van so new Avtex is on order and I am purchasing a new areal that Lairdy has been trying to flog for 12 months ( cheeky discount requested and accepted ) but my question is the located drilling point for things like aerials and solar panels are located in the wardrobe but the solar panel covers it so can you drill a hole elsewhere on a motorhome roof naturally avoiding important fixtures and fittings for the aerial lead through or does it have to go through specific drilling points.

 

[Nesting Zombie]

No, As you say so long as you miss any ‘Important Bits’ you can drill almost anywhere is convenient to do so. But try & put the Flex or Cable ‘Up’ into the Skin Gland as apposed to Running ‘Down’ into it,,,If that makes sense

 

[Makzine]

As above, shouldn't be a problem but make sure the flex is fitted so any water runs away from the gland where it enters the body.

 

[QFour]

The manufacturers of MHs bury cables in the roof so you need to know where they are BEFORE you start drilling.

Maybe over the cab is a plastic panel that can be removed?
You may be able to go through the fibreglass front mould. Use one of these, they do a single version

Most aerials have the cable within /underneath so no skin glands required,but be well sure there is no wiring where you drill ,use a cable detector before going clean mad,i got my tv used on f/book for £25 ,the ones with the we power box mainly run on 12v and a cable to plug into cigy socket can be got on flea bay,mine works a treat,its a cello.
