I suspect the RV was setup with a DVR in the living room and you connected Sat 1 and Sat 2 to the 2 inputs on the DVR. It might also have been a Dish Network setup with a dual tuner receiver. If so, they connected to the main TV directly from the receiver and send the 2nd output to the bedroom TV via the coax you found in the bedroom. If so, you cannot use this for satellite now, but you should be able to trace that cable back to the living room and connect the Sat 2 cable to it to get the satellite signal into the bedroom. You could then run 2 single tuner receivers (bedroom and living room).
Thanks for the help, does the fact that the 5th wheel has a quest video control box wired in play a part in this puzzle?
With the Quest setup (assuming it's where the 2 satellite inputs are) you would connect the Satellite Out from the receiver to the Quest and that would send either Cable, OTA TV or satellite (others, too) to the TV's. If you had an HD satellite receiver, that would connect to the main TV via HDMI and the Quest would send the SD receiver output to the other TV(s).
Have to check to make sure you don't have another coax connection outside of the bedroom (straight through the wall)? There could also be a separate feed from one of the storage bays to the bedroom where you could hook a satellite coax connection. There are so many ways someone could have rigged the coach that the only way to figure things out is to trace each coax and figure out what each was meant to do.
