TRICK - If you have a curved

roof, such as a Airstream

trailer… you may use rubber

washers between the dish plate

and the mounting plate so the

mounting plate may bow to the

curve of the roof.

DRILLING THE CABLE ACCESS HOLE IN THE ROOF

Drilling the large access hole for the MAGELLAN Cable run to inside the vehicle should be a process

taken with great care. For many, this step is nerve racking because of the potential of drilling into

wires inside of the roof… a valid concern! Pay close attention to these steps to help you in avoiding

making a costly mistake.

The location chosen for drilling the hole should be chosen and pre-drilled from inside of the vehicle.

This makes sense because it is far easier to make a cable run to any location on the roof than to run

cable inside of the vehicle.

One neat trick is to use an

existing hole in the ceiling to

use as a place to start your pilot

hole through the roof.

You can see any exposed wires

and make your pilot hole with

confidence you won’t be

drilling into wires.

Later, you can pull cables

down and then use the same

hole to feed cables to a

different part of the vehicle.

Nifty!

Most often, a cable is dropped into a cabinet where the wires are not exposed to view. You will need a

long drill bit at least 6 inches in length to make the first pilot hole through the roof.
