I want to install a 4G antenna which requires a 25mm hole to be drilled through the roof , i have a Rapido 10000 Tag Axle motorhome. Currently i have a Vision plus Aerial which is mounted inside the back cupboard which i never use.
I have a couple of options
1. Take out the existing vision plus aerial which will involve cleaning all the sikaflex off both outside and in and then using this hole to mount the 4G aerial. From what i can see removing the sikaflex can be a pain even with silicon removal. If i use this option i wont be able to mount a wifi aerial without drilling a bigger hole later if i want one.(we dont use wifi a lot but it does come in handy sometimes and can be messy with wires going through the windows/skylights etc). The wifi solution is also very expensive at £349 which is why i am holding off buying it
2. Keep the vision plus hole so i can remove the actual vision aerial and retro fit a wifi aerial in the same hole with no modifications but then i would need to drill another 25mm hole somewhere near the existing hole.
Is there anything i need to check to ensure i dont hit any supports etc, do i need to keep a certain distance from the existing hole as i would like this to go inside the same cupboard.
I can see that if i get someone to do this it is approx £150 which is quite a lot just to drill a 25mm hole as the unit itself is self sealing and i already have power there because of the vision plus amplifier which will be redundant.
Any advice greatly received!
