So no holes or drilling required.
    I mount our Weboost below the weather station on conduit ( 3/4" inside 1" ) and used suction cups. The cable goes in with the hose. KEN

    Thanks for the ideas. I purchased the weboost rv and got an extra antenna and power cord so I can use in my car as well. Took a trip across country last month and was very pleased with the weboost. This spring I’ll try to see how I can mount the antenna and cables in my rv. I have a 2019 2850mk. Right now it’s under a couple feet of snow so it will have to wait.

    Very happy also with the WeBoost. Our outside mount I attach the WeBoost antennae to an 8 foot section of PVC using the supplied U Clamps. That then attaches to the ladder so the antennae is way above any obstruction.
    This stores in the pass through when traveling.

    As far as cable leads it’s very easy to run it through the slide rubber.

    Replacing the factory cable with at least a good-quality quad-shielded RG-6 cable would make a noticeable difference. Consider when doing it that every connector from end to end in a cable reduces its performance, so while it might be tempting to ease replacing it by doing it in sections joined by connectors that might eliminate the benefit from replacing it.

    Since this post seems to be alive again, I thought I would add a link to an article about what Solid Signal thinks about using existing coax for cell boosters. https://blog.solidsignal.com/tutoria...-cell-booster/
