My 2008 Astoria PE is "Prepped for roof-mounted satellite dish."
What does this mean? I presume that it means Damon ran a cable from somewhere behind the TV up to the roof, but where should I look for the cable end (inside and roof)?

i am thinking its right in front of the fwd a/c unit, there is a white vent cap in the center of the roof i believe its under the cap.

I too have the 08 PE and Damon has told me the extra vent cap is the roof location. Mine is center coach between the ac's. Have no idea where the wires are inside, haven't found them yet, but haven't looked too terribly hard either.

I have a Damon Daybreak and to get to the wires you have to drill a 1 1/2" hole through the upper part of the roof inside the vent cap. Be carefull when you go through the lauan under the TPO roof as you can nick the wires with the hole saw. I then used a steel coat hanger and fished the wire out. There was no power wire if your going to install a dome.
