Drilling hole in roof (for Avtex AMR985)

It really isn’t the best idea to drill holes in the bodywork of a caravan, especially the roof. Goodness knows, they leak well enough on their own without doing that!

Obviously wiring exists to the lights so the cables could be anywhere.

Have you considered less invasive solutions?

There are many threads on this, and other forum, about mobile internet and many people, myself included use mobile phones as hot spots. 

I uses an old smartphone on EE as a hotspot and can usually get sufficient speed to run a couple of tablets and stream TV.

Falcon do  this system which doesn't involve drilling a whole in the roof

The least invasive diy ways to get a wire into your van are either through the floor or via the area within the mains hook up. I've used the first for bringing in the feed from from my wi-fi booster. It is made from commonly available plumbers fittings with a rubber gasket mounted in Iroko, poor mans teak. The latter is for a co-axial tv feed.

Most of the wire looms run through the cupboards and, in our van there is only one light centred in the middle of the ceiling and that is located on the joining strip of the ceiling panel and if I was to remove the light I could no doubt see which way the wire was running. another tip you can buy a electric detector which looks like a large pen if you pass over any live mains wires in a wall it will beep and flash cost from £4 to £8 from you know were
