Adding Togo Wifi to 240BHXL

I purchased a Togo Roadlink for our 240BHXL and was hoping to reuse the hole in the roof used by the King prewire. Apparently this is not easily accomplished, as the King antenna on the roof is about a foot or more away from where I believe the cables for the King wifi and FM radio are routed to the entertainment center. The goal is to have the 12v wire for the Togo to come down inside the wall the TV is mounted and connect with the power from the stereo. I already have the Togo on/off switch wired and mounted in the cubie under the TV.

Outside of triple and quadruple measuring, is there a better method to drilling the hole in the roof for wiring?

Figured it out!

I figure out how to get the Togo and XM radio antenna wired up without having to drill an additional hole in the roof to run the wires.

I wanted to reuse the existing holes from the FM and King pre-wire wifi and was able to do just that. I removed the punch out on the King antenna base and ran both the Togo 12V and XM antenna cables through the King unit and into the roof.

In the bed room, the power and coax for the TV comes out of the ceiling. By removing the the 110AC outlet, I was able to fish the roof cables out and into the interior. Then I made another single gang sized outlet hole in the bedroom ceiling where the FM and King Pre-wife cables went into the wall and to the Furrion radio and King pre-wire rough out. I covered this new hole up with a singe gang blank plate.

Removing the King pre-wire cable made passing the other two in much easier. I also replaced the King blank plate with a dual USB and 12V outlet.

After that, it was sealing the roof and cleanup. Finished product in the attachments. Very happy with the final results.

We had similar installed on our previous rig - they used the refrigerator vent to bring the wires down and in, without making any extra holes in the roof.
