tv antenna boost

On 2017 Freedom Elite Class C, where is the antenna boost button...or is there one? Thanks!
  • Boosters are "OK", but I've never thought they were worth the hype. They amplify, but it also amplifies the noise/interference. They will improve slightly and may just be the thing needed to "get the job done". (which is good)

    With that said a better antenna will far exceed the performance of a booster.
  • Some time ago, looking at new RVs, in one 5th wheel I saw the TV but not the "booster". Asked the salesman about it....he said it was "probably BEHIND the TV." Of course, the TV was,as usual inside a cabinet.

    One can almost always tell when the interior was not designed by an RVer. Like ONE outlet in the kitchen....INSIDE an overheard cabinet.....

    Gotta love it......................

    What antenna do you have.. I know on one THOR model class C I found it,, by luck more than anything,, This unit had the King Controls Jack antenna, (The wall plate/switch are identical) and in a cabinet there was a 120vac outlet, plugged into it was the power wall wart that ran the "Sure lock" signal meter, which I might add did not impress me one bit.. It was hiding behid the wall wart. Just by luck I spotted it.
  • Maybe they forgot to put one in.... Wouldn't be the first time.
  • Look up in the cabinets, and check your owners manual. If all else fails, call Thor Customer service. In the past, we have found them very helpful. Look for where the cables for the TV come from, that will give you a general direction.

    I looked for that but unable to locate anything that looks like it. I reposted in hopes others might see and reply.


    Understand but as a senior member you already know double posts are against the rules...
