Cable TV hookup
We are newbie RV enthusiasts and are almost ready for our first long trip. We need suggestions/guidance on what type/length of cable TV cord we will need to connect to any service that may be provided...

In eight years, 400+ nights in the RV, more than 30,000 miles of travel, I have not hooked up to cable TV as many as ten times. Not that many RV parks carry cable, if in a reasonably close broadcast TV market, and it generally does not exist at public campgrounds because the cable companies want too much money (typically $2-$5 a day for each potential connection). If it is "free" you are paying that whether you use it or not.
RV park cable connection was almost always at or near the location of the electrical hookup, so a cable as long as my power cord (25 feet) would usually work. I think I'm carrying something like 100 feet of RG6 on my cable reel. I've never unwound it all.
X2, and I've used cable maybe 3 times in 10 years because we rarely stay at private campground where you commonly find cable. I've never seen cable at any state campground.
