Good advice from Silverbeard and Rich T - I'm going to run a new cable through the slide and install a connector at the bottom of the slide near the skirt. thanks

I just install this and I think it has solved my problem. It was an easy install, I just drilled through about 10" from the back wall and came into corner cabinet to the right of the TV (as you are facing it) this would be on the drivers side. https://www.amazon.com/RecPro-Coaxia...86&sr=8-6&th=1

Good advice from Second Chance (Rob). Satellite wouldn’t work with the house cable installed at the factory on our 2021 295RL. Based upon Rob’s commentaries at that time, and other threads in this forum, I got quad shield cables and installed a direct connection through the bottom of the slide, under the TV. We, too, have the Pathways X2, and it works great. One other thing about the X2 - it gets all he satellites, Eastern and Western arc; that’s not true of all mobile dishes.

One thing to be aware of is the maximum overall length of coax. I have a Tailgater antenna by King Controls. I talked to their tech support and was told that the maximum length of coax is 50'. So, if you are going through the coach wiring, you must subtract the wiring length inside the coach from the overall max to determine how much outside coax you can have. If your antenna came with a coax cable, that length is probably the max overall length allowed. That's how it worked with mine. I also put a coax connection on the slide-out wall directly behind the receiver location, but I soon got tired of getting the ladder out every time to hook it up.
