And you will NOT get anything using the cable in jack unless you mess up the cabling in your RV
Cable goes to the wall plate with the switch, light, 12 volt outlet and antenna connection... or to a box of many buttons. There it encounters ELECTRONICS and as a result of that power to the antenna is blocked (Power comes from the sat receiver).
YOu can.. 1: re-cable (Rewire the wall switch) but I do not recommend that
2: Run a brand new RG-6 or RG-11 (11 is better but for short runs it don't matter) from the Sat Receiver's input to a handy connection point. NOw odds are you can do this WITHOUT drilling holes.. But even if you do drill not a biggie.
Any RV store can sell you a mounted bulkhead connector.. You drill one small hole (about 1/2 inch) feed the cable out. Connect to the "Feed through" (tighten gently with a 7/16" wrench) then lather the back side of the plate with calk or adheasive sealant (GOOP?) and slap it in position. 4 screws (Through the adheasive) and it's water tight and looks factory.. In fact that's how the factory does it.
If you get the kind that has a "LID" that flips up use a P-Touch to label it SAT or you can use the labeling method of yoru choice. Job done
