Roadtrek 2008 Chevy Versatile TV

We have been travelling four years wihout a TV. I unhooked the screen and removed it to storage. Now it is being reinstalled. Can anyone tell me in which sockets the plugs go? The power and the cable plugs are easy. I guessed the black audio has only one socket, but the red plug? Photos anyone?
  • Don't know what year RV you have, but my 04 Roadtrek has a loop of wire in the roof for a TV antenna. Works when your parked really close to the broadcast antenna but not much use otherwise. I've thought of a new antenna but not sure of the cost/benefit ratio.
  • Thanks TinyoneRV, you clarified enough for me to get a great picture from a video, a lousy picture from the antenna, and no picture from cable because I cannot reach my house outlet. The confusion was because a red adapter was on the yellow cable. I need to invest some $$$ it seems - if only to get a Jack antenna head - or I could move to a better location.
  • I think we need a picture of your connections to help you.
  • If it's been 4 years, your TV is probably has an analog tuner and no over-the-air channels broadcast in analog toda; all are digital. Analog broadcasts ceased in February 2009. I replaced our TV with an inexpensive digital TV from Best Buy two years ago and so far it's standing up to the rigors of RV travel. Since it has both an analog and digital tuner it will receive over-the-air signals and campground cable (many cable signals are analog so both tuners are worthwhile).

    I connected the RCA plugs (red, yellow, white) to the DVD player. Yellow is video and white and red are the audio. I used the coaxial cable input for the over-the-air TV as well as campground cable. I used the HD input for satellite TV.

    Don't know if this is what you're looking for so post again if this didn't help
