Hi all, 
I've been a lurker for a while, so here's my story:
Hub and I are converting a Nissan NV Hightop cargo van. I'm currently doing the electrical, Hub's doing the carpentry and mechanics.  We have a CTEK D250S and SmartPass.  When I finish the interior electric install, we'll start on the solar.  

Hub and I are retired. We are planning to go full time as soon as the conversion is done.  We have 4 kids (adults-but still my babies) and will be selling the house, so we need to be reachable at all times.  Per Bob Wells' recommendation, I bought a Verizon Jet Pack and will be doing the entire pole and Yagi antenna thing.  

So the question is, since I'm going to be running the cable through the roof for the solar, I want to use the same hole for the antenna cable.  I know how much cable I need for the interior install, but I don't know how much I'll need for the outside, and more importantly, what TYPE of cable do I need? 

I'm an Amazon fanatic, it makes life so easy. If anyone knows, can you put the link to the cable on the Amazon site in your answer? 

Thank you in advance, 
Ted
