Cedar Creek Secret Cable Switch

There should be a wall plate that has a small switch to turn off the antenna booster power. Most have a cigarette lighter socket.

It is a small push switch about 1/8" diameter and usually have a LED close to it to indicate if the power is on for the antenna preamp. Must be off for cable input to work.:)

Look around near the main TV setup and see if you can find this WALL PLATE panel... This could be mounted under a shelf, on the wall, or even inside a a cabinet door...

This is the panel that switches 12VDC Power ON-OFF to the BATWING OTA Antenna mounted on the trailer roof where a BOOSTER AMPLIFIER is installed in the base of the BATWING antenna. It will have the name WINEGARD on it and you will see a small LED push button on it...

I have no idea what the very new trailers use for the Over The Air HDTV reception so it could be your trailer incorporates something else...

This would be the only so called "SECRET" switch I can think of for switching from CABLE and OVER-THE-AIR TV reception.

They usually hide it somewhere in a cabinet near the tv. Should be with other cable conections.

Our rig doesn't have a switch for the cable vs antenna. When shore cable is plugged in, we get cable. when we use the antenna, we push the button as talked about above.

Try looking around the TV in the bedroom. On our Redwood it was behind the Bedroom TV and I have a Dowel rod I use to turn it off and on. when it is on you will see a green light. I am going to move ours to a better location this spring.

That is the button that we're talking about here!

The little button that you push IS the switch between antenna and cable. You found it!!

Ah, yes the button vs a secret switch. Wonder if the shore cable would work with the antenna booster button activated?
