I just recently bought a newer 5th wheel trailer(cougar 28sgs) and I'd like to install a antenna booster that goes on both the tv coax lines. It's the kind that plugs in. Anyone have any idea wher...

Roy is correct, the button just turns on/sends power to antenna booster in the head on roof. I think OP is talking about a 120 AC plug in booster, to ramp up existing system.

Won't work......
Coax already has 12V DC on it...adding 120V AC not so good
Unless OP disconnects 12V DC supply OR has a non-amplified antenna
Course it could just be an issue with proper 'aiming' of antenna head, turning on existing amplifier etc
OP wasn't clear on what antenna he has
As usual, I agree with Old-Biscuit. More info is needed to know just what OP has, or is asking. Years ago, I had a Challenger FW, with a crank up Bat Wing TYPE antenna. The ends were more bow tie shaped, and was non-amplified. I did, in this case, successfully use a 120V booster/amplifier to receive much improved OTA reception.
