I think the best way is to bring it up through the floor.. If you have a "Basement" you can bring it into the water compartment and there should be pre-existing holes. Else I would bring it first into a compartment from the bottom, and you can seal that with any of a whole lot of products from "Great Stuff" expanding foam to GOOP. and then into the "House" and again seal it as needed.

ON my motor home I was able to bring it up directly through the floor into the room where the radio lives.

The cables come up (or down if it's a roof mount antenna) directly into cabinets in the room where the radio lives.. NO cables lying on the floor where they can be seen at all.
