I know of several people who are supposed to have that 110 volt converter , but the coach manufacturer never installed it. It took my friend 4 plus years to find hhis problem. Some factories must have a pile of them laying around.
They come standard on KD Dome systems and are NOT a 120 to 12 volt converter like you are thinking. KD systems operate on 24 volt which I assume the OP is calling the Power Inserter what KD calls the Power supply which connects to the "Tuner" (not the Sat receiver). The tuner has a Coax that goes to the Dome and the Sat receiver LNB coax goes to the tuner. Unlike usual Sat dishes or other domes, the voltage in the Coax from the Tuner AT the dome is 24 volts and not the Pulsed 13 to 18 volt normal signal from the Sat receiver output to the Dish. Also the Coax must be RG6 and rated at 2.2 GHz, which is supplied by KD. The 2.2 GHz is a special extra shielded Coax to prevent loss and problems from transient electrical in the RV. Using regular RG 6 Coax not 2.2 rated can cause operational problems. Doug
