I did close to Roger difference is I tried driver side but kept getting hung up on cables that were already there so I went to passenger side ran fish tape from front to back then took a hole saw and cut a1-1/2 inch hole in the side of channel reached in and pulled out fish tape hooked on RG-6 and 6 other wires for future projects left enough wire coiled on each end to go across coach
The white goop on RG-6 is polyurethane  to fill hole around cable

Dub, I have 2 new cameras the top one is using original cable the bottom one is using new cable.  I started to pull an extra cable with bundle but didn't have enough on hand and didn't want to pull off job to get more  Just me

Old cable works fine. Done maybe 10 installs.Just cut the ends and change them, or buy adapters

Chris, like you I installed dual rear cameras (not too bad a job), and the system came with 2 sets of integrated power/coax cables.  Gotta run a new cable anyway for the extra camera, so doing both new runs makes sense.  I think, like you noted, the driver side cable chase probably already has enough factory wires in it to choke it up in places.  I was wondering about trying the passenger side and you convinced me. Tomorrow I'll be trying that.
This forum is a most valuable asset for Foretravel owners. My thanks for all the experiences shared on this topic (and so many others).

Doyle, I pulled the fish tape out and marked it so I would know when I was at the back of coach,  As has been said before the front of channel is open but the rear is blocked off at least on passenger side.  If you have someone to help running tape from back as Roger did might be a better option.  I usually work alone so I have to improvise  and from the front worked best for me!

Doyle,

On your U240 there are little round plastic "breathers" push fit into that channel along it's length in the overhead cabinets.

You can pop them out and that may help you to feed the fish/new cable.
