That brings up an interesting issue I have with my ’07 AmeriLite’s TV connections. There are two coax connectors in the ceiling above the refrigerator and one on the outside of the trailer. One of the ceiling connectors seems to be connected to the manual crank-up antenna, the other one seems to be connected to the outside connector. I say “seems to be” – my best guess as a result of a little experimentation since I can’t find any panels to remove and I can’t trace the cables. I couldn’t get the TV to work when connected to the outside connector until I ran a coax cable between the two ceiling connectors. This may or may not be standard procedure with this particular RV trailer, I don’t know. And the owner’s manual is no help (imagine that).
In the information packet I received with the trailer there are installation instructions for the antenna. This leads me to believe it was an aftermarket kit installed by a previous owner or a dealer. It’s of little help except that it talks about a +12V connection which I assume provides power to a signal amplifier. I have no idea if my particular installation even has that feature. It’s all a mystery which seems to be typical of many RV products…
