Where to run cable for Satellite on Bullet Premier?
I intend to use Satellite most of the time, but not always.
Apparently, there is a video switch 'somewhere' that prevents the Satellite from working correctly when I plug into the F-Type Connector on the back of the Premier.
Does anyone know of a good location for pulling cable, and mounting good waterproof exterior cable jacks, and a place where I can access the cable from inside the trailer?
I have pulled cable in buildings, by going between walls, down from the attack etc, but haven't a clue how to approach this in a travel trailer.
Thank-You,
-= Bruce

Don't know about your unit, but ours has the entertainment center at the rear so I just drilled a hole and put a weatherproof coax connector on it. You could do the same on the side as well. The problem I saw trying to use the trailer's cable system is that I couldn't figure out where it all went and didn't want to interrupt having the bedroom tv using the antenna. We've one of the newer King automatic Tailgaters and I can put it on the roof or on the ground depending on where we're at and where the trees are.

Roof antenna coax is in the ceiling until it reaches the booster. Park cable is usually in the underbelly until it comes up to the booster. Since you have a cable in, you could probably put a sat in next to it and run the coax side by side.
Getting the coax from the underbelly to the booster area may require removal of an interior wall, they are just stapled with trim on the edges. Go easy and you'll probably get by without having to replace any panel or trim. If you have room at the booster, you can just install another coax plate.

We have a 30ripr and I have run some wires for various things. The RIPR has 2tvs in the slides but were real easy to get to, the back of the pantry was false. Only 2 screws holding each panel.
I was even able to run from one end to the control panel for a few wires and was able to fish them through the wire loom.
