If you have just a single exterior coax input more than likely it is connected to a splitter keeping sat signal from directly reaching sat receiver although cable tv provided by some RV parks will work fine.
Most often splitter is located behind/nearby antenna booster amp switch and with minor modification will allow sat signal to reach sat receiver using single exterior coax input.
My TT even had a sticker stating sat/cable ready just above single exterior coax input only to discover it would not work until I modified coax at splitter. I used this mod and we are good to go.
Cable tv provided by many RV parks is generic and often suffers from poor video quality, we always prefer viewing our sat dish programming. This quick mod still allows cable tv viewing if the need arises.
