Running a 110 vac cord from the cabinet to front overhead - U225

January 14, 2012, 03:21:53 pm

I want to run a 110 vac line and hdmi cable  from the overhead cabinet behind co-pilot seat to the overhead above dash.  I see where there is a electrical outlet there already and a hole for the 110 and 3 RG6 cables.  Thing that they go toward the rear.  Do I just "cut" a hole beside the one there for the line to go forward?  A hole saw will start unraveling the carpet on the wall, so how do you get around that happening?

Open the small door on the side of the coach overhead the passenger's front seat.  Look aft with a flashlight and you will see the open end of a box beam.  You can use that beam to feed cables from the cabinet over the barrel chair to the forward area.  You may have to carefully drill another access hole into the beam, or you may have a plastic plug in that area where you can gain access to the beam.  Just use a coat hanger, etc to fish the cables.

Plastic plug was probably where the 110 vac romex and 3 RG6 cables already come thru into the compartment from the rear..  Don't think I can squeeze more cables thru that hole, so I guess I will have to drill another.  Do have a plug in the ceiling where the air line comes back for the air horns, but with the insulation and air line, I don't think I want that route!

I agree,  Drill into the upper corner beam.  It is best to use a gusset to protect the wires from the sharp metal edges of the hole.
