I asked everyone at the dealership "What's That For" and nobody knows?
Do you know how to remove the wood panel behind the TV to get better cable access? I would like to get 12V from there for my Peplink router.
Thank you!
Starlink (roving) will solve all your problems. Put the router in your wet bay. Plug it in and you will have super fast Internet inside, outside and switch you phone to Internet calling. Wonderful.
Netflix, Newsmax, YouTube, Amazon and all the other stuff a Roku TV can offer - what else do you need? All for $150/month. We go for a week every month and take it along, and use it at home the other 3 weeks. How about that Elon?

I have stayed in six parks in the last 2-1/2 weeks. I'm getting to the point I'm really disliking trees... In one park, our starlink was blocked about 1 out of every three minutes. In the park we're in tonight, we can't get any Starlink signal due to some mature trees pretty much blocking out the sky. Dang it.

Were you up by us in northwestern Ontario? Tall pines and birch everywhere you camp. It's why we have no plans on solar....wouldn't work.
Yes, we did have to go through trees a couple of times. I did get the 150' wire (in addition to the 75' that came with it) to move the dish around to minimize obstructions if necessary. Otherwise the ladder mount when clear view. With obstructions the Ruku TV can help out with buffering and it still works well. Maybe a few brief interruptions an hour.
Just as a passing comment . . . this thread is a good example of how using a random comment rather than the actual topic, in the title, makes future searches for this info much more difficult.
I was super annoyed when I discovered GD did not run an HDMI cord from the TV to the stereo. This would enable us to play sound from the TV through the stereo and also to plug a DVD player directly into the HDMI in on the front of the stereo. Which is a primary feature of the stereo GD installed in the trailer. Our last trailer had this done for the factory. My TV and Stereo are right beside each other. Why doesn’t GD do this??? I wish I had least had a hole/path to run my own cord like the OP appears to. But I don’t and doing it would involve lot if disassembly, cutting and fishing wires. Such a lame and cheap oversight by the manufacturer.

I'm in the same boat, here! The access hole is behind the TV and above the stereo. AC receptacle in right photo, I assume, is for Blue-Ray/DVD player. I would need to connect/disconnect HDMI cable to close the glass door each and every time because there's no way to pass a cable through the hole!
