Hi RBR,
Welcome to the forum.
I don't have any advice on the roof, but here's my $0.02 on the TV antenna:
As long as you're pulling up the roof, DEFINITELY install an HD antenna. It's so much simpler/cheaper than satellite. We have an HD antenna on our fifth wheel and it's incredible. We have been able to pull in decent channels everywhere we've camped. We get tons of channels in good quality HD, as long as you're willing to move the antenna around until you find the best position. For years I would set up a portable satellite dish, but we could only get standard def channels on the portable dish and we had to either bring a receiver from home or pay for an extra box for the RV. Once we switched to all HD at home, I didn't have any extra boxes anymore and we stopped trying to watch TV on the road.
On our last trip, my kids got hooked on a channel called MeTV, which is all reruns, kind of like TV Land. They got hooked on The Andy Griffith Show (they couldn't believe the little kid was Ron Howard), Matlock, and a bunch of other oldies. "We'll go to bed after this episode of Perry Mason is over..."
The antennas are cheap and the Over The Air channels don't cost you anything.
Good luck with your roof!
