Senior Chief, the switch box is one way power the antenna via the coax. The ON/OFF switch on the switch box is what kills power to a amplifier built into the antenna. The other way coach builders power the antenna is the wall plate others have mentioned. Might look something like THIS or THIS.
If you have some free time and a multimeter you can verify power by disconnecting the coax at the antenna and checking for 12VDC between the center conductor and the connector of the coax. If power is missing something is wrong and the antenna's performance is going to be very limited.
