fuzzy cable tv
We have two tvs in our unit... both work great for over the air reception. However, when hooked up to cable at a campground the front tv reception is very fuzzy, while the bedroom tv is crystal clear....

Bill, your input is always so appreciated. Do you have a link to photos that show the "screw on" coax connectors and the compression fittings we we lay people can look and determine what we have?
Thanks,

Screw on F connectors (bad) usually have a knurled body so you can grip them and screw them on.

The crimp connectors (better) will have 2 or more crimp connections. The body started out smooth and a tool is applied to squich the connector.

The compression fittings (the best) have a 2 piece body and a completely smooth outside and a tool pushes one part inside the other to create a permanent and waterproof connection.

Bought in 10 packs there is only a few dollars difference between the crappy connectors and the good ones so if you plan to do any work on your coach coax cables (or portable satellite antenna cables) please get yourself some compression fittings and tool.
