TV Reception when traveling

Low battery will cause carbon monoxide detector to fail. Is the rig plugged in?

Thanks everyone! Yes, we do have to cigarette lighter type receptacle for the inverter and with the boost right next to it, which is right next to the antenna> I would think that the antenna dn the boost is connected. The TV is brand new so that's not an issue. The only thing we didn't do was exit the menu and try to get the channels. We're really electronically challenged and know enough to be dangerous! Ha Ha. So far everything electronic that we've struggled with seams so easy now, once you know what your'e doing. Will try it again, exiting the set up menu.
We've only had it out twice and it's now winterized for the season.
Husband just called to tell me the carbon monoxide alarm is going off. What's up with that? Haven't used it in 3 weeks but we were in it yesterday playing around with the TV.

There may be a pushbutton switch near the 12 volt receptacle in a TV cabinet or elsewhere. When "on" a green LED should light and the amplified antenna will feed over the air station signal to the TV, When "off" green LED is not lit and you can feed cable TV signal to TV through an outside connector (maybe hidden in the "shore cable" compartment)When green LED is off, you can't receive TV via the antenna.

Don't expect good reception while driving, requires satellite TV antenna, etc. FYI, The inverter itself uses power from your house battery, inverter plus TV may discharge your house battery fairly quickly.

Your house battery charges quickly from the engine's alternator during driving but very slowly from your converter/charger when hooked up to shore power or when running the RV generator. Learn how to check/replenish battery electrolyte and keep battery connections clean for reliable battery power, house and starting batteries. A simple digital multimeter from Harbor Freight is useful in checking voltage and trouble shooting 12 volt DC circuits.

BTW, the engine starting battery is not being charged while you are connected to shore power on most RV's unless a special device is installed to do so. Good to understand what the converter charger does to charge house battery and provide interior lighting, and how the house battery provides power to the electronic controls in the appliances and blower motor in furnace, etc.

There is also a correct procedure for getting 110v RV generator power into the RV and start up and shut down of roof AC.

If you know all of this please disregard!

It seems to me that after it scans and finds 59 channels you just need to exit the setup menu.

Now days the TV needs to be a digital TV. If not you will need a digital to analog converter.

In the menu for the TV be sure the input is set to antenna, air, or over the air. This will allow the TV to use the antenna to scan for channels. As you travel down the road the channels will disappear as you get out of their broadcast range so you may have to do some manual tuning to find something to watch.

You may have a bad antenna connection make sure all connections are tight.

To prevent all of this you can get Dish or DirectTV which are satellite based services. With an in-motion sat dish antenna you would be able to pick up TV source as you travel.

Does your rig have a power supply to turn on the booster in the antenna.
Normal one has a 12 volt cigarette lighter socket and a small switch adjacent to receptacle.
