I just cut a couple of 2 inch holes in the ceiling adjacent to the exterior wall. Then ran the wires down through the the same hole that has the hood power wires. Tap into the hood light or hood fan and you'll have uninterrupted power for the MaxxAIR. A little white duct tape will cover the holes behind the microwave. The microwave and trim piece will conceal all the wires.

A word of caution for anyone who is not quite as familiar with their RV as busterbrown:
BE CAREFUL using a hole saw at the corners of an RV roof !!!!!
The typical hole saw has a drill bit in the center. That drill bit is usually about 1-2 inches longer than the "teeth" on the saw. There's often only about 1" of clearance at the edges of an RV roof and the ceiling panel. So, make sure of your clearance BEFORE you drill those 2" holes. Otherwise, you may wind up with an "unintended" drill bit hole through your TPO roof membrane.
I'm not suggesting you don't drill holes there, just be sure of what you're doing before you have "unintended consequences" to deal with.
