Oh OK. If you have the setup with the bunker antenna and booster in pass dinette seat, would you need a dedicated outlet in there or could you use the outlets on the exterior of the bench?

I know your light set up is ideal, but are LED stick on lights a really undesirable option, or will they get the job done? I don't want to throw $$ into batteries if 12v outlets and wired lights are that much better, and get cheaper in comparison as you buy more batteries. I also don't want to put a 12v outlet in each cabinet though!
My Wilson amp will operate with both a 12V or 12V plug. I use a mag-mount antenna that when not in use attaches very strongly to the bumper then when I need it I place it on an 8" diameter disc that I can attach to the roof, or run it up on a longer pole, which has never seemed to make a difference.

We bought those stick on puck lights from Costco that use 3 AAA batteries and they seemed to go dead very quickly. The wired in lights are much better.

So where do you have your power source for the booster?

A 12V plug on the face of the rear dinette bench. If I didn't have a U then it would be in the rear corner of either side bench.

We're putting an additional 12v/USB outlet on each side of our standard dinette seat, assuming that will give us good option for interior 12v usage, and for 12v booster power if needed. That way if we wind up putting an antenna on the bumper, we can have power in the storage compartments. If we don't, come on over and we'll charge your USB items for you
