What I did was drill a hole in the crossmember in the back of the pin, not easy to get a drill in there. Once I got the hole drilled I was able to send the wire thru to the front storage area. Be careful you drill low enough because you can drill into the front closet. Don't ask how I know this.

It went into the storage and I took it over toward the lp tanks and down then back. I was running a back-up camera cable with a end on it so I made the hole 1/2 inch then filled with the foam insulation.

When I put on the electric awning I tried until I went nuts to get a wire through. I ended up putting on one of the those plastic wire channels. Didnt turn out to bad.
