HR Endeavor DSS pre wiring

just want to ride wrote:
This may have been covered but I am installing a satellite dish and the Endeavor has a sticker on the roof that says DSS wiring. I drilled a hole directly on the sticker and found a 12v connecter but no coax. There is a coax in the tv compartment labelled "from DSS". Any knowledge or thoughts would be appreciated.

It might be there somewhere. If you have not dug deeply into the foam you may just not have yet found it. Check inside and see if there is any kind of a lighting fixture below the hole you drilled on the roof or nearby (or a speaker or anything like that in the ceiling). If so you may be able to find the coax. Depending upon the antenna you plan to install, you will still need to run a new cable so using the pre-wire access may not be your best choice as you won't be able to get the new cable to the point it needs to go. Many of the HR coaches put the coax inside a conduit but you often could never find the conduit. I got to a point with HR coaches that I refused to drill that hole as I had to patch that about 1/2 the time and drill a hole where I could run my own wiring.
If you need more than 12V power and a coax to the antenna you plan to install (like a Trav'ler with its own control wire) you likely need to start all over anyway. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Bill. I dug through to the aluminum 5" below and used a camera to look around through the drilled hole and through the light and speaker holes inside. I can see a bare end coax way in there. Wondering if a tone locater would be worth a try. After reading you reply i may just run a new one.

Thanks again.

PS. Oddly I push a rod into the ceiling through the light opening and cannot see it through the drilled hole. Not sure how many layers the ceiling/roof consist of.
