cable splitter location

We have a 2013 Forest River Wildcat Rear Living 5th wheel. Cable TV has never worked great but has been much worse the last 4-5 years, If I run Cable from Campground post direct through window to any TV reception is perfect. Through the main 5er cable input it is very snowy. I replaced the Antenna power boost outlet and removed all 4 of the Cable hookups and verified a tight connection. I also checked the main Cable input to verify tight. No change in snow. None of these have a splitter connected to the cable. I pulled all lines out as far as they had slack and no splitter. I then removed every access panel in the main trailer and basement to look for a main cable splitter. NO luck. There has to be one somewhere as this trailer has 1 cable inlet and 4 cable outlets. Does anyone have any idea where it could be? I will contact Forest River but my understanding from research is that RV's are wired based on the whim of the crew that given day. Thus I expect no real help there. We can use antenna reception but DW prefers the cable variety. Hoping to get help narrowing down the hunt.

Not the right year but here’s a List of some locations.

Why not run the cable in thru the satellite connection?

If if there was a plan, how many different rv models are there? Hundreds if not more. For questions like this the best by far resource is the owners forum online. Google "Forest River owners" and see if you can find it. Just about every brand has one. I'm surprised at how often I find people with the same problem on our NROA forum and you may find the same thing on yours.
