Bedroom TV in a Slide

I have been looking into Directv in my coach. I was wondering how to set up the receiver, in the bedroom slide. I was thinking of a Genie, with a wireless client, but found out you can only have 1 Genie per account. Since there will be people, still at home, I can't take it with me. What is the best way to run coax to the slide?

So the cable needs to "stretch" when the slide is opened?

I ran a HDMI cable, from BR tv cable in a closest, thru the closet, behind drawers and thru floor,outside to the rail on slide. See if there is any wire chase running from that slide to the outside. From there I ran the chassis rail to the from engine compartment. From the engine compartment I went up the window post to the AV cabinet.

The cable is attached to loop the goes OUT and In when the slide is retracted or extended. I actual just cable tied the cable to the Sealtite.

So there is No Stretching of the cable.


See previous Thread for pics.

Thank you cc8375, I'll have to climb under it & have a look. I know there has to be an OTA coax, running back to the bedroom TV. If I chase it, I can piggyback the Sat cable, through the same path.
