Slide Out Antenna Connection

2007 Keystone 36' 5th wheel 3-slides.

Typical Wineguard antenna with booster jack in the bedroom. Works fine for bedroom TV. But not for the lounge computer desk/ entertainment center slide out in the rear of the trailer. Discovered that the coaxial cable plate in this slide only connects to the external jack for park cable.

Removed the booster plate in the bedroom and there is a coaxial cable connected to the "2nd TV" connection on the booster, but have no idea where it runs to. Removed the park cable external plate hoping that it might be coiled loose there and could connect to the cable running to the slide, but don't see it within the wall.

Anyone with any experience in something like this? Seems odd that I cannot connect the lounge TV to the rooftop antenna, especially since there IS a 2nd TV cable connected at the booster. Any idea where it might have been ran to and not terminated?

Thanks for any help.

  • And I should add that there is only the one cable from the park cable jack to this slide. I can visually trace it under the slide. All wiring is visible underneath.
