The upper shelf appears to be made to install a sat receiver on it with all cable connections plus a duplex outlet that TV is pluged into now. The bottom portion of the duplex outlet's opening appears to be blocked. I can't plug anything into it. Is this normal?

I think Winnie installs a single outlet when it is designed only for one Winnie installed device to be plugged into it. For example the outlet for the washing maching is only a single outlet where a duplex would fit. It appears trhat one outlet is blanked out, but I think it is really only a single outlet.

I don't know why they do this unless the single outlet is a few cents cheaper than a duplex.

Mr G

Look very carefully in your cabinets. I've owned my '03 coach nearly three years and just a couple of weeks ago discovered there are two duplex outlets side-by-side in my electronics cabinet where I thought there was just one ...they have dark face plates so are not easily visible. I may put white plates on them so I can find them easier!!! You may find more outlets on your 05 also. Our TV is plugged into a different outlet on the ceiling of the TV cabinet.

Thanks for response. It still doesn't make sense. Where do they expect you to plug in the sat rec when all cable connections are right there. I think I'll call Winnie tomorrow. John
