If you take down speakers, AC vents, AC trim, skylight bezels and lights, you will have access points to the ceiling cavity which will allow you to "leapfrog" from access point to access point. Using a fish tape, you'll be able to get wiring through the ceiling. You can also use the interior of cabinets to route wire and you can even run part way inside a cabinet, down a wall & through say the underside of a shower or fridge cavity and then back up into the ceiling.
As mentioned, the AC duct is a good method of gaining access to the ceiling. The way the grills simply push into the duct, it makes for an easy access method.
I've run speaker wiring, co-ax and even romex through the ceiling in several TTs. It's not a hard as you might think.
In our TT, they installed 4 speakers in the living/kitchen area and nothing in the bedroom. It's pointless to have 4 speakers in such close proximity. One of these days I'm going to add a pair of speakers in the bedroom. I've already run wiring into the bedroom ceiling for a wall switch and an additional light fixture and know it will be relatively easy to do.
