Coax cabling for tv’s

[Jmetcalfe]

Good morning, I have a 2015 allegro bus that I recently purchased that has no tv reception, the previous owner had dish or direct tv and has removed the receiver. Opening the compartment in bedroom under BR tv there is a lot of unplugged cables, for now I just want to get the tv’s to work on antenna only.
If anyone has any experience or can refer me to someone to help straighten this out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

When I faced a similar issue, I was advised to purchase a cable tester (example only below)

I was able to find what cables go where and ultimately make them useful once again. All will go through your cable power box which needs to be powered on to function correctly...you'll figure it out. Blessings

As above you can use one of these for tracing where coax cables go.

Does take some time and I’d recommend labeling the various points that go together for use later, if needed, as you figure out where they all go.

I owned a 2014 AP37 Allegro Bus so know the problem. Unfortunately I sold it in 2020. I recommend doing two things. (1) Unless things have changed for your 2015 (I doubt it), the signal distribution boxes you find in the bedroom cabinet were designed and furnished by the company that sits adjacent to the service stalls in Red Bay. Adjacent to the gift shop. You need to understand what they do and how they distribute to make sense of the system. You can see them using Google map. I spoke with them a number of times and sometimes it took a while for them to call back but they were helpful. Should be able to give you some useful information. (2) the harder way is to go to Tiffin Owner's Forum - iRV2 Forums and see if some one there will pick up on your post. There are some sharp Tiffin owners if they will respond. Just thought of (3) there are a number of mechanics working on the side in Red Bay. Find one, make an appointment.
