Replacing TV Antenna Wire

[Eric Johnson]

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?

Well yes and no!

more hole in roof more chances for water to enter coach.

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.
