I'm guessing most folks are mounting their antenna to the ladder? If you are mounting the antenna to the ladder how are you routing the coax and control wiring? I'm only interested in operating while stationary....although I might have a 2 meter antenna for travel.

I have used Blue Sea Cableclams for years, they come in three sizes and will accommodate all the commonly used coax diameters .

Besides the Cableclams, the refrigerator vent is another often used entry point.
The ladder is a good spot for telescoping antenna that can be dropped, while traveling, and then raised, when parked.
