New 5th wheel

I just bought a 2025 Dutchman Astoria the 28'er. In the bay area there is 2 coax connectors. Neither one has any identifications. I know from past experience there can be no splitters in the line for dis, been there done that. Does anyone have a clue if it is pre-wired for satellite? And if it is any idea as to which one the coax goes to

I would think that since it is a 2025 model that one of the connections would/should be for satellite and one for cable (never seen anything else). You should also have two connections at each television port as well as a “power” switch for the off air stuff on the CATV side. I have a handy-dandy coax locator tester that I purchased because I was having issues with my direct tv system.

This one works and it also helps frustration when making your own cables and you inadvertently get a short!

It has 2 connectors in the wet bay but only 1 in the living room. I tried both in the wet bay and both only worked for air tv. So I took it back to dealer this afternoon and they are probably run another coax to living room then I will have both.

I hope they put the correct splitter in! Sorry, but these guys aren’t the sharpest…

I agree, it is at dealer now getting it straightened out

I had a problem with a slide out once. They were adding rollers so they could get it to roll properly. The technician thought the bottom seal was in his way so he cut it off, all the way off. When I found the issue, they had to replace the bottom seal.

Hope they get you squared away!

Is there a splitter that can be used for antenna tv and dish . The splitter I have evidently doesn't let power through the splitter for dish. Something that can go from antenna to dish by pushing A or B buttons. , has to have one in and one out and be able to make the dish work. Right now I have to switch cables to change from antenna to dish playmaker. Am I as clear as mud ?

Have you tried this thing?

Or you can call this company to see if they have anything!

Are you not using your HDMI cable for dish? By the way, if you reverse your splitter (2 to 1 instead of 1 to 2) it’s then called a combiner instead of a splitter. Any ordinary splitter will work as a combiner for RF signals. so if you put the “ combiner “ at your TV itself, it should work.
