mystery switch

If it says WINEGARD on it for sure it's an antenna switch of one kind or another for that is what they make

3 (now that I think of it) options
1: The Over the air antenna.... There are a few different OTA antenna power feeds.. ONE uses a "Stand alone" switch. exactly as you described. This feeds a device called a "power inserter" in the coax line from the antenna

2: as I said. Automatic Sat antenna

3: Winegard now makes Rooftop Wi-Fi systems. theyre are a few diffent ones
one is Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi (Re-routes park) and one (Actually there are at least two of one model) can re-route park wi-fi or be a 4GLTE hotspot like my pone

Guesses are presented in preference order by the way.. That last system is fairly new and I do not think it would be standard on any new rig yet.

The others.. Well the OTA antenna is very common.

I have a rocker switch in my coach that lights up green when depressed upward and it activates on my winegard automatic satellite antenna.

The push button (green) is for over-the-air antenna use; it boosts the signal strength. Push it off (no light) for cable reception. If you are trying to view the TV via a cable hook-up and get no signal or a snowy picture, check to be sure this switch is off.

Antenna booster switch. Turn off when cable connected?

My guess also....
No Coax cable connection BUT small on/off button with Winegard on the outlet

Inverter fed outlets/black plates to distingusih them from standard AC Power Outlets AND on/off button for antenna booster

My guess the switch is for an inverter to power those black outlets while in transit or camped without utility power.

Yes it does say winegard on it. As far as the black outlet plates go they are 120 looking. There is also one in the compartment with the outside stereo radio. It is next to a cig lighter type 12 volt outlet and also a white 120 plate is right above it? None of the manuals I have say anything about them. Thanks Old-Biscuit for the wiring diagram.

IS there anything else on the wall plate where that button is?
Antenna connetion + 12 volt outlet + Antenna booster

Word: Winegard. or Jack or King controls likewise.

Other option:

SOme RV's have an automatic Satellite antenna. and such a switch may power it as well. These make noise. usually 2-5 seconds after power on. (noise usually goes away after a couple minutes or faster)

Are these standard outlets (3 prong 120VAC)
OR
Coax Cable connectors

The outlets by the TV are switch off when the ignition key is turned on, so the driver can not watch TV while driving. That might be the reason the covers are black.
