Adios Sat Dish

Finally got rid of the satellite dish. If I ever decide to put some solar up there I'll have lots of room.

When I removed our old manual dish, I also covered the holes with aluminum plates.  When we had our solar installed, they removed the small plate where the old satellite cable penetrated the roof.  It turned out to be a perfect route for the main cable from the panels to enter the coach.  The junction box on the roof is under the panel next to the old dish mounting point.  From there, the cable drops through the ceiling in the closet, runs down the inside of the closet frame, ducks under the floor, and comes back up in the "electrical box" at the foot of the bed.  That is where they mounted the solar controllers.  Worked out very nicely!
