Tv's, not all wired together?

So apparently the main tv and the other tv's are not connected if you hook cable to your trailer?

Anyone figure out a way around this?

I find it ridiculous that I hook my satellite up it only plays on one tv. I fully understand that all the tv's would have to watch the same channel but it seems like a silly setup to me.

I have the same problem, cable, sat and TV antenna all seperate and the only feed that goes to both TVs is the antenna.

I run the cable and antenna through a video switch, but I still have the same problem for the satellite. Just another thing that has to be rebuilt.

I think we have something wrong. The outside tv doesn't play unless it can pick up local channels. No matter if I have cable or satellite, it won't work. If I bypass the entire system and hook the cable directly to the tv, it'll work.

I think we've got something hooked up incorrectly from the factory.

I wonder if you install a three way splitter from the antenna and the satellite connections if that would connect all the tv's ?

I'm sure it would if you had all three ends to all three tv's. I only can see two cables.

I'm going to sit down over the next few weeks and check this all out. I'll report back when I find out what the heck is going on.

I get sat and cable on all of my TV's. The only thing I've done was to get a satellite rated splitter for behind the living room TV.

Outside speakers

I am putting in new, better speakers outside and ordered them before I took the stock ones out, only to find I have about an inch of clearance back there. I need to find some kind of flush mount speaker bracket with a 1.5 inch cup to get my new speakers to fit. Cant find them ANYWHERE on the internet, but I know I have seen them on other campers. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS

After hooking up the cable on your rig. Then I went inside the cabinet where I seen a box that said sat in . I put a small cable from the sat in right in the port above it . Doing this will feed all the tvs in your rig. But remember you still have to program all the tv's for sat if they are on reg tv . I hope this helps .
Ps I have a voltage 3905 . Not sure if they are all the same.

You also need to turn off the boost when using sat

Thanks guys… I did do all the above. I'm sure something is screwed up but it's not that difficult.

I have a guy coming over today to make sure I didn't do something wrong.
