No signal on Over the Air Antenna
I have a 2014 Ventana 4037 and having problems with the over the air antenna. The coach uses a quest switch box and a winegard antenna. When I switch to the antenna it says no source found. Is there a powered booster button hidden somewhere? Starting to wonder if I have a broken coax to the antenna.

Yes, there is a power booster button somewhere. My OTA batwing won't work unless the booster is on.

Are you doing an auto channel search from your tv menu? Must be done when changing locations.

I had a broken coax cable inside King antenna. Wasted > $200 trying to figure out.

I have thought about hooking up a indoor antenna to the switch box to troubleshoot and see if its a coax problem to the antenna.

When you say switch box,do you mean the "Bomb" box?(box of many buttons?)
2nd pic is the antenna boost.

Some coaches have a separate power boost module, and in others it is integrated into the BOMB (box of many buttons). In the latter case if the antenna button on the bomb is not in the right position there will be no boost and no antenna reception.

Usually the wall plate that the coax from the tv to the wall is where you'd find the booster switch......very small and hard to see.....also has an led indicator light that is lit when booster is on......

You need to find your antenna booster box and make sure it is in the on position. Then with your remote go to menu and you will find a selection for antenna and cable. Make sure that is on antenna and then do the auto scan. It says it will take an hour but it is only about 5 minutes. When you want to use your cable hookup you will have to shut off the antenna booster and the do the same process selecting cable. You will also have to this every time you change location to get the most channels.

In our ‘15 VTDP the booster switch is on the wall to the right and behind the co-pilot chair.

We have a 110 outlet behind the passenger chair and a propane sensor but not booster switch. I figure it has to be hidden somewhere.

That is what we had in all our previous trailers but I have not been able to find it on our Ventana. The antenna comes into the av cabinet from hole so there is not the typical plate with the booster button. I know its hidden somewhere but have not found it yet.
