Has anyone added XM/Sirius Antenna on top Class A Coachmen Mirada/Pursuit - want to mount antenna on roof and run cable inside between window post and trim down under dash board. Original coach clearance lighting wires, TV & radio antenna wires, etc. already running down in that location. Believe I can get access to all areas but before I begin to remove panels I wanted to know of any concerns I need to be aware of if someone else had tried this.

when I had an add on xm receiver, IIRC I bought a remote antenna that had a suction cup that held it on the windshield. worked fine inside the vehicle.bumpy

added a magnetic mount INSIDE on the roof frame by going up the pillar containing the radio antenna. JM2¢...

I just installed mine last week. Made a bracket that I riveted to the air horn bracket and removed the cb radio antenna and ran the wire behind it into the back of the upper cabinet. I then ran it behind the windshield pillar moulding and under the dash to my receiver. It was a PITA but it works well. I used dycor sealant on the roof to hold down the wire. Steve 05 Panther

At one time, i siliconed (glued) a piece of steel to the roof, then had a place to put the magnetic xm antenna.

I can't give you specifics on the Coachmen Mirada/Pursuit, but did exactly what you are describing on the previous MOHO (97 Winne Vectra) and the current rig. In both cases I drilled a small hole in the roof large enough to pass the antenna's connector and then sealed the hole and "glued" the antenna to the fiberglass cap with silicon. It never moved or leaked. The cable was routed down the A-pillar with the other roof wiring under the dash. Good luck.Lou05 Travel Supreme Envoy
