Replacing TV Antenna Wire - Eric Johnson - 04-28-2007 01:42 I've noticed that the antenna wire running across the roof to the antenna tower is oxidized and cracking, with some wire exposed. I've got new wire to replace it but am not sure the best way to run it. The existing wire appears to enter the coach through the roof at a central point with other wires that run to speakers and CB antenna. This hole looks like it's located behind the headliner on the interior and I don't want to disturb the headliner. Is it best just to abandon the old wire and drill a new hole through the roof up front where I can get to it from the inside?

I installed a sat dish on the roof I was able to get the coax through an already drilled hole i used a coat hanger to assist me in pulling through the wire. you might remove the clamshell and see what clearance you have. you could use the old wire to pull through the new wire by twisting and sodering the wire together. this should make a strong connection so that you don't loos the new wire in the pull.
