2005 WW Super lite 5th wheel. Jack in bedroom and over fridge say "satellite ready". Cannot find coax jack anywhere on the exterior of the trailer. Is there one? Can I just hook my dish up to the external coax or do I need to rewire the trailer.

Thanks.

sat ready usually means there is rg-6 coax vs rg-59, on my 2004 the jack is on the "drivers side" under a small white flip open lid, if not you can hook it to the antenna coax on the roof BUT you must disable the 12 booster in the wall jack inside if it has an amplified antenna.

O.K. here is what I found tonight. There is no external jack on the wall for cable or satellite. I climbed up on the roof. What I found is this. Over the bathroom, next to the radio antenna is a round disk, about 18 inches in diameter, about 1 inch thick and on 3 legs about 8-10 inches in the air. There is a coax cable that comes up through the roof and into the bottom of the disk. Is this a regular tv antenna? What should I do to be able to hook up campground cable or my dish to it.

Thanks in advance for help.

Ypu'll need to bypass the power booster insdide the trailer where the tv is. Theres online instructions of you search it, and it takes less than an hour. After that you can just hook up to a satellite or cable. But yeah, that dish is an antenna, but I think now youd need a digital converter to use it. My WW SUperlite had the same set up no external jack, so I put one in. Then I got the C3905 and it had the jack, but still needed to bypass the booster. I just got the crank-up sat dish with digital magic for DirecTV in our new motorhome and it works great. It was definately worth the few hundred bucks and installed real easy.

Go to RV technical and look at my thread Dish hook up ? This is what you need , I don't know how to bring it up here. It should explain everything to you.

Go here

It works.

Thanks Mongo thats what I was trying to do . Hope thats explains thing , I think it will !

Thanks guys.

My booster only has 2 coax wires attached as there is no "cable" wire. Only roof antenna and bedroom cable. Can I make the assumption that since the switch to digital tv signals that the roof antenna is pretty much junk? (I don't have and don't plan on getting a converter box). I will install a line for "park cable" from the outside of the trailer and hook it up to the middle connection marked "input from outside". I may or may not disconnect the feed from antenna, depends on whether I take it off the roof or not. I will drop a new, uninterrupted cable from the dish on the roof down to a new wall plate with 2 jacks. 1 will be satellite in, the other will be output to bedroom. Then, using jumpers should be able to view both park cable and satellite in both the main area and bedroom. This sounds like it should work, right? I know I won't be using the existing antenna wire but would prefer to run an uninterrupted line from the new satellite rather than hook into the existing wire. Should get better signal transfer, correct?

In some area's I get a good picture from my ant on the roof. If you have a new digital tv so don't junk it . If so , and I am not staying long I dont go to the trouble of setting up my dish. Sounds like you've got it.
