We just picked up and installed a trailer based weather station that comes with an antenna for the pager system... Knowing we want the antenna on the top half of the trailer, how do you run the cable and make it look nice?

I currently have it going thru the floor, then screwed to the front of the trailer and the antenna is located in the top screw hole of the siding... Its functional, but I think it looks cheap as there is a black cable running up the outside of the trailer..

So give me ideas on how to install the cable and make it look nice..

Antennae and cables are attached to my mast I mount up to the trailer when we set up. I simply run the wiring through a hole in the floor.

Mine goes thought the trailer, the cord to the laptop that is. Using these, the covered one on the outside to make it weathproof and the cat whisker one on the inside to pass the cable through...
