Proper Adhesive for Camera Cable

I'm getting the TPMS installed this week.

Where did you end up mounting the receiver module? The instructions don't provide any info about placement. I'm wondering if the front storage area will pose any problems with receiving the signals.
I mounted mine in the front compartment near the batteries. Works great. I have a valor 41v15.

I mounted it on the ceiling of the front compartment far to the drivers side. Connections seems fine. One thing I noticed: After hooking up camper to truck, the pressures will not display until I move a few feet (less than 100), then they pop right up.

I'm adding to this older thread just to let future Googlers know that, with time (I had enough) and patience (barely), it is possible to internally and invisibly route a camera cable (Ford, with 1.5" connector) from the top rear of an Avenue 29RL all the way to the pinbox. I suspect it can be done with other models too. The only new hole I had to drill was through the floor behind the right rear felt panel of the passthru. I removed the center clearance light at the top rear of the 5W, widened the hole, fished a string to the run of recessed lights up the right side of the ceiling, then to the bathroom light, then down the wall between bath and living area (where my control panel is and where much of the wiring is run) all the way to the basement passthru, then through my only drilled hole, along the trailer frame, then forward and up into the propane compartment, then through the foamed gap up into the front storage, then to the pinbox from inside the exterior 'skin'. I couldn't get the cable to the camera-ready 'plug' in the back, so I mounted the camera where the center clearance light was and mounted that light at the camera plug. Some photos are attached and I can add more detail for anyone interested. What gave me the confidence to try was having a factory tour at Alliance and seeing how the roof/ceiling was constructed. I also added Ford's TPMS, BLIS (blind spot) and yaw sensor (backup assist), so I did have to drill for the BLIS sensors, but all wiring is 'invisible' other than in the propane compartments and ceiling of the front storage.20241115_152719.jpg20241116_153905.jpg20241116_154112.jpg20241116_153452.jpg I've learned a great deal on this forum, and am glad to be a part of it.
