What the Heck Is This Tower?
I am currently changing from Analog TV to HD and I have everything torn apart.
So I am thinking it would be a good time to run Sirus Puck and I see this tower looking thing on the roof..... What the heck is it? and can I run the Sirus through it???
Also if you have a idea how and where to run that crazy wire let me know.......
Thanks LeeB

Looks like somebody added a vent for behind the TV

That looks like an air vent of some kind. You should be able to snake your wires into it and down into the coach.

It is the wind sensor for the automatic awning.

It's the wind sensor that usually does not work

This week I ran a wire from the front overhead cabinet (where all the switches are) to my Girard Awning for a strip of LEDs. I removed a speaker from the ceiling and was able to fish tape from there to the front, there was a junction box on the roof just above my speaker (very close). Sometimes takes more time to plan and get materials than to do the actual work...

Ok I see what appears to be either an AM/FM or CB antenna, this is the long black thing
Just behind it is a "lighthouse" tower, short, perhaps 3 inches give or take an inch tall.. With slots all around.
This is an A&E Weatherpro Electric power awning WIND SENSOR.
Now there should be a good size hole under it and it may communicatre (Does actually but I do not know the passage size) with your Weather Pro control box (Big black box with a toggle switch somewher) Yes you can "Raise" it a bit to route coax in under it, Just use something to build it up properly (Disc of wood?) and caulk it well

Yes I do have that awning, now whether the WIND SENSOR works or not that could be a whole other subject. I just bought the MH in December......

But that does look like the best route.. Thanks..

The box will be in a cupboard somewhere Mine is over the entrance door,,, Of course "Big" is a relative term.. but it is in there. The toggle will likely be on teh left side, there is either one or two rocker switches (3 position) should be marked OPEN and CLOSE if two MAIN and DOOR or Patio And Door, same as your A&E weatherpro Remote. This box is what it Remotes.
