Unless you have 2 separate inputs on your coach, one for satellite and one for cable you are likely trying to use the cable input. If so, the above poster is correct that you will likely find that there is a splitter in the setup somewhere and this is causing your problems.
It's possible that the coax may run to the wall plate with your OTA TV power supply. Turning that off allows cable to come through. If that's the case you can modify that connection with an A/B switch so that your outside cable connection can be used with either cable or satellite. If you have any way to run a new dedicated cable from anywhere outside the coach to where the receiver is located, this would be the best choice.
