The "prewiring" for the satellite dish is as MountainAir05 describes. There is (or was) a decal on the roof showing where to drill a hole for a roof mounted dish. The coax you found has a terminal within a couple inches of the center of the decal.
In our 2001 Adventurer there was also a cable hookup in the rear compartment on the drivers side. We sometimes used this port to hook up a carry out dish when we were in a heavily wooded area.
Later I added a diplexer in the outdoor compartment and another one in the overhead cabinet where the coax hooked to the distribution box. Then we could hookup both a carry out dish and use the campground cable when available.
