Satellite Cable Management

[Engineer999]

I've been contemplating the roof of the MH looking down from our bedroom window, with a view to cleaning it and noticed that many of the self adhesive cable clips holding down the Satellite cables have become detached. I have looked on amazon for replacements, of which there appear to be hundreds but non of their descriptions fill me with confidence with regard to being stuck on a roof 24/7 for years on end. Does anyone have any recommendations for particular Products?

Cheers

I would use the adhesive backed plastic trunking, screw fix B&Q etc stock various sizes.

Clean off the back of the hooks and refix with a dab of Sikaflex.

As funflair states but i would buy the trunking without the adhesive back and secure with a couple of blobs of silkaflex

I found with trunking it depends if it’s accross or down the length? if the width of the van it tends to hold up all the dirt and grime on the roof causing black streaks

Sorted mine on our last van with semi-circle adhesive trunking and sika to seal the edges. Roof needed a good clean to ensure good adhesion.

I used 12 x 8mm trunking like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-self-adhesive-mini-trunking-12mm-x-8mm-x-2m/73354 but without the self-adhesive backing. Stuck on with Sika. Much neater size than the "standard" 16mm. I also put a few natural cable ties around it just to make sure the "lid" didn't come off.

I lifted the satellite dish for the first time on the second hand MH. Wow it was dirty and I dread to think what it is like up there. Luckily I live in a bungalow so don't get to see it!
