Hi everyone, looking for some help with some rewiring in our TT.

I bought a new AC/DC 13" LED TV that I want to install in our trailer. And of course the location of the current 12 volt/TV antenna plate is on the other side of the trailer (and in the ceiling) from where we want to put the TV. Hope this makes sense!!

I would like to split the 12 volt/TV antenna and run an extension to the new location without doing to much damage. I am trying to avoid running wires through the ceiling.

Has anyone does this before or have any ideas of how I might go about it?

I'm open to any suggestions!

Thanks & Cheers

I have two in my RV. The secondary one is wired to the primary one via soldering at the contact points. I have to turn on the power on the primary one to provide power to either one. If you are not going to run wires through the ceiling you may be able to run the wires through cabinets around the perimeter of the interior or down the wall and under the chassis and back up.
