Speaker wire

I would like to install speakers in our fiver master bedroom. I'm looking for tips on how to run the speaker wire from the AV entertainment center, which is in the back of the kitchen, up to the front master bedroom.

The best way I found to run wires around my 5th wheel was to run the wires down the middle of the ceiling where the A/C built-in ducts are. You can pull the ceiling vents that is installed every 6-feet or so along the ceiling and pull your cables thru it. Then when you get to the ends you can come out inside one of the ceiling cabinets and route to where it needs to go...

Have run several RG cables and other wiring doing this over the years.

I do however think the idea of BLUETOOTH speakers would be your easiest solution to this problem. Like other post said - also gives you OUTSIDE use for your speakers as well...

In my rig the BT source is in the front. If I put the speakers all the way in the back in the bedroom, they have a tendency to cut in and out. Anywhere else, and they are fine. There's lots of "stuff" between the bedroom and the front, like the dinette, kitchen and bathroom. That probably has an impact. Just saying that BT has a limited range and it might be good to try before you buy.

Is your AV bluetooth enabled? Probably not. Google "Bluetooth Repeater" for some solutions, and if you can mount the unit anywhere near the middle of your rig it might even work outside under your awning as well as in the bedroom.

X2. Much easier than running wires.

The more I think about it, bluetooth might be the way to go.
