Electronics is definitely not my specialty ! We have a 2002 Friendship, the previous owner swapped both tv's out which I have yet to get working ! He also has a USB plug coming from the rear to the front on both, any thoughts on what these are for ? Oh, I did get the one in the bedroom to play a dvd :) Right now all we have is roof antenna. We have an Amazon fire stick 4K at home, can this be used in RV ? Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and in the one basement compartment there is a radio, 120 outlet and cable plugs, I guess to hook up another tv ?? Thanks a lot !........ Tom

What brand are the TVs?

Typically the roof antenna connection drops in at the front TV. (with an amp in the area). There will be a coax line running from the front to the rear TV (and to the outside compartment if so equipped). Many times the compartment above the driver seat will have a switch box to select what goes where (DVD, ANT, SAT, etc). All the cables source from there.

SO, find the feed from the roof antenna to the front TV first. Then run that through a splitter or the switch box to provide signal to the rear TV also.

Firesticks work fine as long as you have Wifi . . . Either pick signal up at campsite, or get you something like a Wineguard 2.0+ with monthly subscription.

Thanks for getting back to me RY469, definitely some useful info. There is a splitter box on passenger side. I'll have to investigate a little further. Thanks. Willyt
