coax jack

I need to add a cable tv jack on the outside of my camper . I can easily wire to the spot on the interior of the camper to the entertainment center. Any imput on what to use to get to the exterior would be appreciated.

The DW would not let me drill a hole in the wall...so I bought a splitter and another piece of coax and when the weather is cool enough we bring the tv out of the bedroom and set it up on a table outside with the new coax.

Two options I can think of. They make a flat section of coax cable that you can pass out a window or door and close them on it.

Or you can drop down thru the wall and out thru the floor, maybe use an existing wire to lead the way. Not sure what model you have but I easily ran a coax cable out while I worked on the overhead cabinets on my Lexington. I did not add a wall mounted jack, I just ties off about 10 feet of cable in a lower compartment. That way a have a direct cable from second set port on the back of the amplified jack inside.

I like the flat coax idea --seems easy and not too intrusive.

How can you go wrong?
