I have a 1999 Winnebago Adventure that did not have factory installed satellite dish. I am getting ready to install a Winegard roof top dish, and I have located to coax in the roof where the lable was marking the location, but I can't locate the other end of the coax inside the RV, I've checked all the cables at the multi switch box.

Anyone know where the coax terminates inside?

I would recommend running new RG-6 coax which is supplied (depending on model) with your Winegard roof dish directly to your receiver. Do not try to find the old coax. It's probably the wrong type.

Not a hard problem. Mount the dish as forward as possible on the coach. There is a wood ceiling batton inside. Take it down, and you should be able to access the front cap of the coach from there. Run the new coax across the roof to a point where you can access it from the roof by pulling down on the front roof panel. At best you will only run 2-3 feet across the roof. Lots of pics on this install on this forum, including my recent Winegard SK-3005 installation in the Winnie forum.

In our 2000 the cable to the roof dish was located on the right side or rear of the left cabinet over the driver's side. The actual connector for the receiver was on the back of the cabinet.
