Need info relating to HDMI and LCD TV install.

This is an offbeat quest for information to be sure. I've installed two LCD, HD, tvs in my 2004 Winnebago Journey.

What I would like to do, if possible, is run an HDMI cable from the front tv to the rear tv. I know that I can obtain an HDMI cable that is long enough. However, my question pertains to being able to run it from front to back without it seen on the outside of cabinets, or along the wall and ceiling. There is a slide out on the driver's side which presents some problems with running wiring from front to back. I know that the original coax cables were run from front to back inside the ceiling when the coach was built but I don't know how to access whatever channel they were run through. I would appreciate any info relating to how I might fish an HDMI cable above the ceiling without having to tear too many things apart. Thanks for any suggestions.

Can you run it through the air ducting in the ceiling for most of the run?

That's a thought, I don't know. I get both heat and air conditioning through the ducting. It might be worth a look. Thanks

The air ducting might work but it's hard to say what's best without seeing what you're up against. On mine, I was going from an HDMI splitter located in my front curb side slide out to the bedroom tv located in the bedroom curb side slide.

I used a 50' cable and had no extra to play with. I went through the same cable pass through Winnie used to route cables into the slide from beneath and mostly piggy backed on the other cable runs to get to the back of the coach. I drilled a hole into the back of one of my "heated" storage bays located curb side right beneath my water heater. The "heated" function on my coach comes from having the bay with open air flow to the inside of the coach so I was able to get the cable back into the coach that way. Then I just routed it past the water heater, behind the drawers located below the TV and voila! A pain but well worth the effort.
