2017 Raptor Toy Hauler, cable tv connections

Hi all.
Just picked up ours yesterday.
Of course the manual that comes with it is so generic.

Mine toyhauler has 3 coaxial ends (jack?) where I would hook up the cable tv from the campground.
I have 3 tvs inside, and there is a jack in the storage area for an outside tv.
I thought maybe a jack for each tv inside, but then there's the outside jack.

Do all 3 of the hook ups need to be attached to the cable supply?
Like should I tie all 3 together so the one cable from the campground will run all my tvs?

If it's just one of the 3 jacks that I need to hook to, which one?? (Mine aren't labeled).

Thanks.

On my Raptor, there are 3 connections, 2 are for sat connections based on what tv you have your receiver hooked to and the 3rd connection is for cable which also runs through the tv booster. My RV is at the dealer having slide toppers put on or I'd go see how they are labeled. I was trying to remember...thinking cable was the middle connection. What model did you get?

I might help if you could post a picture of what your cable connection plate looks like outside and inside at main tv?

I have a labeler.
Just don't know what to label them. LOL.

I had to borrow a labeler from work for stuff like this. I emailed photos of my rig to my builder (Crossroads), and then they marked up my photos and sent them back to me.

We've owned 4 other trailers, and they all have had one for satellite, and one for cable.

This Raptor has 3 ports to hook a coaxial cable up to. Lined up and down. Top, middle, and bottom.
The dealer called the rep. Rep says all should be labeled. Mine aren't.
Dealer said to do trial and error. SO I have to hook up, wait 20 minutes for the tv to search for channels, then figure out which one is for cable???

Just thought someone might have a 2017 Raptor and could tell me what their's says.

Our 2017 Seismic came with 4 televisions, three inside and one on the side patio. When using campground cable we plug it into the utility compartment jack and all televisions pick up the signal.

Your RV will have a CABLE INPUT jack on the street-side(left side). This is where you will connect the campground Cable Input. It may look like one of these below.

One TV location will have a wall plate that looks like this. It may be White or Black.

Try flipping the Signal Booster switch to see if that makes a difference. I think the booster interferes with the cable signal.

one is direct through for campground cable, one is for satellite, don't know what the third one is for. The direct through should be split for all TV's, the satellite will just go to the one port where you would put your satellite receiver.

That's my guess. You could wring them out with a volt meter.
