It's easy, follow along.
In the cabinet between the kitchen area and the recliners in the front room, look over to the driver's side of the RV, there's a wooden box that goes from the top of the cabinet all the way up to the roof. First take off the light assembly from the roof, you will need a square drive bit on your driver. Then remove any screws holding either your generator control panel or thermostat or whatever onto that vertical box. This will allow you to peek inside with your fingers and see the size of the raceway. Now get a 1-in hole saw or paddle bit and drill a hole up where near the light fixture was on the roof but into the side of the raceway. Do it in such a way that when you replace the light fixture, your 1-in hole will be covered with the end grain of the light fixture. After you have a hole drill then take another long bit at an angle and drill a 45° angle up through that hole into the roof, this will allow you to accurately locate the raceway. Now move on to the roof where that bit came through and drill the appropriately sized hole vertical downwards into that raceway. now you can fish all of your wires from the roof down the raceway into the cabinet and then downward into the belly and up front wherever you want to go. Replace the light on the roof and it will cover the hole that you drilled sideways and you will be done.
