where to route cables from the roof

Good day folks,

I'm needing to put a wifi\LTE antenna on Fuzion toyhauler and was wondering where best to route the cable? I work out of the garage as my office and have the router there as well. I'm trying to avoid drilling into the roof if at all possible. We've got a 2015 Fuzion 371 toyhauler if that helps... The antenna is a nimo wifi,LTE antenna with 3 seprate cables I'll be routing and the cables are 15 ft long.

Typically the toilet vent is run inside a wall. Gently pulling off the wall panelling might reveal a great "chase"to run from next to the roof vent cap all the way down to under the floor.

That's what I did on our 5er when I ran the solar wiring.

When i installed my Weboost cell booster I just connected mine to the satellite connector on the outside of the rig and connected the booster to the satellite connector on the inside.

Yeah; the refrigerator vent is easy-peasy.

This is what I did. I had about 8' laying on the roof so I put a small bit of sealant on the cable every 12"-14" to keep it from flapping and wearing a hole in something.
Every hole in the roof is just another place for a possible leak.

That toyhauler has a door on the back. Loop them out a top corner,when needed.

I’ve seen some run wires from solar panels down through the rooftop refrigerator vent.

Done correctly theres nothing wrong with drilling through the roof. Find a cable cover to go over the hole. I know Winegard ships them with the travler, so I assume there available on the net.
