Figuring out previous owner's madness
I just bought a 2003 Damon Escaper 40' motorhome. We've had fivers before but our first motorhome, so we are trying to go through and set it all up. I'm working on trying to get the TVs working with local antenna, DVD, In-Motion satellite, etc but not getting anywhere fast...I know it works because when we picked it up from the consignment dealer, it was playing a local TV station.
This was the first thing I found when I pulling out all the wires...this was in the area where he ran his satellite to I believe (switch box and DVD are in another cabinet).
First, bare wires just hanging around worry me. I haven't taken a meter to any of them yet but I'm guessing they aren't live (else, why leave them like that?)
Then, this is the switch box that's installed:
I know we probably won't be able to figure this out without someone actually looking at the entire system, but suggestions on where to start? I'm pretty tech savy but since I don't know how the cables are ran for a motorhome, I'm a little lost where to start...I think I might basically disconnect EVERYTHING and start over plugging in one thing at a time...
