Ceiling Panel Removal 2011 3400RL

I recently purchased a Winegard SK-1000 Trav'ler Satellite Antenna and would like to install it myself. Does anyone know how to remove ceiling panels so I can run the wiring? I need to run the wiring from the middle front of the roof to the rear driver's side slide out where the entertainment center is located.

When the dealer installed ours they ran the cables across the roof, secured them with Dicor, then drilled holes to drop them into the walls. Might be an alternative for you.

The ceiling panels are stapled into the aluminum roof rafters ... there won't be much left to salvage if you attempt to take them down. Some are even sandwiched inbetween the rafters and the cabinetry. As mentioned earlier ... most just run the cable along the roof and down a convenient tank vent then secure it in some fashion.

Mine were run accross the roof and through a hole in the top of the rear cap the same as Bingo's. Dicor sealed everything.

I ran mine along the roof a ways, but you can remove the bathroom cowling around the fan vent and bring cables down that area,then inside of the wall by the steps, down through to the underside and back that way. (3400RL) A pain, but that's the way I did mine. I just wanted a short run on the roof. I'll see if I can find some pictures.
