OK Thanks all. Today I will try to locate the splitter and make sure it is 5MHz - 1GHz
Here is what I have done so far.
Direct hook up with the cable from the pedestal to the cable input in the 5er & scan the living room TV and all 49 channels on the campground system, (Opticaltel) work and are crystal clear, the bedroom TV does not pick up channel 2 thru 7. These channels are 2 PBS, 3 CBS, 4 NBC, 5 FOX, 6 ABC, 7 CW
It scans all and starts with channel 8, USA on thru channel 49 and all cable channels are crystal clear.

I disconnected the living room TV and ran the cable from the cable input there thru the inside of the 5th wheel directly into the bedroom TV and it scans all channels including channel 2 thru 7 comes in crystal clear. Then when you replace the bedroom to the cable input there, channel 2 thru 7 does not come in...
So the TV's both work and will broadcast those channels and the cable system is putting out the signal for those stations. But for some reason the bedroom TV will not pick up those 6 channels on the system the way it is wired now.....
Before I get into the spaghetti/spider web of cable, wire, hydraulic lines and piping behind that wall in the storage area, I will try to run to another pedestal and see if that works. If not, then into the spaghetti/spider web looking for the splitter....
