coaxial cable

The cable "Inlet" located on your trailer is a connector that looks like the connector on that wall plate shown above (the one on the bottom) it may be covered by a SQUARE cover like the one someone else pictured or by a small rubber like cover that is round. It may be on a square or round benzel or it may be in a compartment (Basement compartment) and on my rig there is a modular telephone connector sharing the standard size wall plate where it connects. (This is rare).

On motor homes such as I have I have seen it in all the following locations, ALL on the driver's side

1: Wet bay, along with hose connections and valves
2: "Converter bay" (where mine is) this is the only outside bay dedicated to electrical stuff. If you have a basement bay with cords and breakers or other electronics, Look there.

And on Many RV's. on the outside wall driver's side about 5 feet up from the ground.


To Select Cable:

On that wall plate pictured above.. TURN the switch off, (LED will go out, Antenna amplifier will no longer be powered, Park Cable will be selected)

Most RV Trailers have an outside hookup that looks similar to this. One is usually labeled CABLE and the other is labeled SAT



On the inside you usually fine a single TV JACK plate usually next to a 120VAC receptacle where the TV is installed.


The OTA OUTSIDE ANTENNA uses a TV PANEL that looks like this.


There is usually a 12VDC receptacle here and a BUTTON to push which supplies 12VDC to the PREAMPLIFIER located inside the roof mounted antenna. Some folks call this the ANTENNA BOOST panel...

Being used the TV setup area is probably changed around by the previous owner to suit their needs so you may have to look around the walls and cabinets to find these item.

hooking up to cable tv in a park..

I agree: Installing a TV, there is either a wall plate with an antenna connection or a box of many buttons (The connection is on the back)

Hooking to park cable.. If the trailer is used all bets are off but you will need to find the cable input.. And if the prior owner re-tasked the cable you will not have joy.. If that is the case, post and we will try.

Hooking up antenna... See above.

Are you trying to connect to the antenna, or cable TV at a park?
