Do you have separate house and dash radios?
Dash radios the plug is called a motorola plug. it is the same size around as an RCA plug only the center pin sticks out and the entire plug pokes into the socket.
House radios it will be either two screws or a coax fitting or one set of each (one for AM one for FM and the RV's antennas DO NOT CONNECT, a seperate antenna should be included, likely a twin-lead folded dipole. If you remember the old days fo flat wire TV antenna lead that hooked to two screws (this still does) it is a big letter "T" made with that same type of wire. hooks to two screws on the radio.. Usually. Of course 75ohm Coax connections are possible as well.
