I can't imagine this many cables (UPDATED)

In my "new to me" motorhome, I am getting it set up for my wife and me. I was getting ready to install the satellite receiver and take out an old VCR.

Here is what I found when opening the cabinet. I know there should be four wires in there. One in for the roof antenna, one in for the cable/portable satellite, one out to the front TV and one out to the rear TV. I have 13 coaxial cables in that one cabinet and there are more in the other overhead cabinet which I haven't explored yet.

Does anyone know what anyone might use all the different ones for? Several of them are numbered with professionally made labels. You can see those that have the little white plastic tape on them. Numbers 1 through about 8 or 9.

I'm about to go out and try and trace where they might go but any ideas might be helpfull.

You are going to have to do some testing...

Most likely there is a splitter or AV distribution box and/or your sources can feed multiple locations. ie. bedroom TV, outside TV, etc.

Then you have multiple sources, DVD, SAT, Ant, etc.

I would suggest having a good understanding of your TV or monitor and know what inputs and if it requires to be on Channel 3, etc and then just test and label all the cables. Might take a while, but it will be worry free when you want to watch TV
