Running cable from back to front

April 24, 2019, 01:18:13 pm

I need to run a cable from the back cabinet (the one above the end of the bed) to the dashboard (video camera).  I've been told that there is a "duct" of sorts that runs length of the coach, but I don't know how to access it.  See the attached drawing and a photo of the area in my coach.  I could also use some advice on pulling the cable through. 

Thanks in advance,

George

George,

Just run a fish through that upper beam.

I did have one person tell me that there was an obstruction that did not allow it, but most are able to use it. 

On older models, you can also pry out the little "breathable" plastic plugs in the overhead cabinets to help move the fish along.

The aluminium  part under the carpet you have turned up is what you are looking for.  Used a 1" hole saw and a 50' fish tape and had no problems.  Only had to back up tape 1 time and it went from front to back with no problems.  I never found any plastic plugs anywhere so I just drilled a hole on each end, being careful when I got almost through so as not to cut any wires that may be inside.  Used Rogers post from above also.
