Possibly one is routed to a cable connector on the outside of the trailer and the other to a satellite connector. Have you located the coax hookup connectors outside (or in a utility bay)? Is there one or two? I would guess that fifth wheel is prewired for satellite.
I had walked the exterior looking for connectors as all of our previous units had them. I missed the ones on this unit as their placement was shall I say unusual. The unit's antenna sucks so I wanted to hook up the $35 Wal*Mart antenna that pulls in way more channels.
The water control bay requires me to be very close to it to open the door. We are currently at a camp that the site is raised above the local terrain. I was changing the water filter yesterday from the lower ground and there they were. Up against the roof in the bay. I guess the placement was to keep them dry, but if you have the valve open that sucks antifreeze in for winterizing you can't open the access door for the coax connections. Weird setup as I will also have to drill a hole in the floor of the compartment so that the door doesn't have to stay open and bang bang and forth in the wind when a cable is connected.
