Sportsman 281rlss. Owners help

My factory wired tv cable system is useless.
If you have had any luck in figuring out how the manufacture, screwed this up
and a remedy please share

I'm assuming the cable connection on the front of the unit near the door entrance
Is a feed for an tv outside.


I have no manual and what I have found on line doesn't mention cable tv

Another cable connector on the rear of the camper,
I'm assuming that is the input for the dish.


There are 2 outlets inside the unit one by a hall way by the
Intertainment center an one in the bedroom.

Any thought s on how to see where manufacture dropped the ball.

  • My Sportsman has a coax connector on the rear that is marked cable TV. The connector on the door side for mine hooks up to the antenna so we can watch the TV outside under the awning. There is no connection for a dish.

    I had a 2000 Sportsmen that had the same problem. I found a poorly crimped coax connector behind the wall plate that has the 12V cigar lighter plug, button to power the booster and green light.

    I'm not saying this is where your problem is but that's where I found mine.
  • Interentainment? system is cable is useless? where manufacture dropped the ball. Manufacturer?
