Our coach didn't come with satellite radio installed, however it did come with a Ford OEM radio that was "satellite ready". I have purchased an adapter that plugs in to the back of the radio, and a compatible XM receiver, and we a now (sometimes) enjoying satellite radio while traveling. So far, I have the antenna velcroed (such a word?) to the driver's side window, high above the curtain. It works fine if the coach is traveling in the best direction, otherwise, the signal is intermittent. I've searched and searched for a way to get the antenna wire outside the coach without drilling a hole. I have a couple of ideas.
1. Since I plan to change the porch light to a motion sensor LED, would it be okay to thread the antenna wire through the same hole that the wires for the light go through?
2. Right next to the porch light is the power awning over the door. The controls for it are in the cabinet above the entry door. Could I thread the wire through the hole that has the wires for the awning?
3. In either case, can I just seal the hole with Lexel?
4. Once I get the little antenna (picture attached) on the roof, would it be okay to just seal it to the roof with Dicor? I would also seal the wire. I'm scared to death to drill a hole in the roof. We've had this coach almost 2 years and have never had a drop of water inside. (knock wood)
5. What is the best place to have the antenna on the roof? The SiriusXM people are ignorant of motor homes and expect you to put that antenna on the rear of your car at an optimal angle.
Any suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
