Delta TPMS prep means what?

I recently purchased a 2026 Delta 262RB and want to add the TPMS repeater. I removed the plug in the front compartment and was hoping to see two wires for connecting the repeater. I see lots of wires but none that were "prepped" for wiring a repeater. Are they in there? Or does TPMS prepped mean Alliance just made a hole to run my own wires?

I couldn't find any wiring prep on my 292RL either. I caught 12v from one of the bus bars, and the ground on the galvanized electrical box above it. Only had to run about 18" of wire.

Thank you for the reply. I removed the wet bay panel hoping to locate the two wires but didn't find them. And I didn't want to poke around too much given the rats nest of wires and plumbing. However, I did find a coax cable not connected, and two other coax lines connected to the wet bay panel. Any idea what the third coax line is for? Thanks.

I also found a disconnected coaxial cable poking out from above the panel. I have no idea what it is for. I also removed the plug for the TPMS prep and it was packed with wires but I could not identify anything for a TPMS system.

The TMPS repeater is probably not needed. I have one but it worked fine on my last trip. I installed it anyway after the trip cause I could!
Figured it couldn't hurt anything.
I took the top off the battery box, ran the wires from underneath the RV into the box and connected the + and - wires up. Mounted the small antenna to the bottom of the RV and works fine. I'm not worried about the super small drain on the battery as I am always hooked up to 110V when in storage and solar when on the road so not a concern.
But other that than those wire to the repeater, not sure where you think wires going to the wheels would be located. The only ones I have seen are wireless with a small disc battery inside. Wirelessly transmits to the receiver (maybe through the repeater) that is in the cab that shows you the temp and pressure. The LippertTirelinc I just looked at is wireless other than the monitor screen that is on the dash. You can also use your phone to monitor the TPMS.
Really stumped as to what wires you need to connect?

I believe those loose coax cables allow you to choose where the signal goes. Read it somewhere just don't remember where. On ours, there are three coax. I think one goes to the main TV, one to the BR and the other to the outdoor hook up but not sure. We don't use them anyway as I replaced all our TV's with Smart TV's and just use WIFI or Hot Spot to watch. Had a satellite but wasn't worth the hassle to hook it up.

This might help give you an idea of the general layout of the system
