Question about installing Winegard Trav'ler dish

For those of you that have installed the Trav'ler dish yourselves, is the cable to the control box for the dish already installed in addition to the coax from the roof to inside the trailer? If not, how do you get it from the dish to the box?

Thanks

For the cable from the dish to the controller the installer drilled a hole in the roof above the compartment where I wanted to put the controller. For the coax I used the existing coax that was there from the single lnb dish that I removed.

Mine had a cabinet with an outlet. I drilled a half inch hole thru the roof above it to route the control cable from the Trav'ler and sealed it with Dicor lap sealant. There was a tag on the roof marking the spot to drill for antenna. Scary but the cables were right there. Don't be stingy with the sealant.
