Have a 2011 allegro red with satellite tv and want to put a receiver in the bedroom. The owners manual says it is wired to the back bedroom but I can't seem to get the receiver to work back there.

What kind of antenna is on the roof? Do you see 2 cables leaving the base of the antenna and entering the roof? DirecTV or Dish Network? Is there a cable (or wall plate) in the bedroom specifically market satellite or roof antenna?

On our 2010 RED I had to take the bedroom TV off the wall to find where the rear satellite receiver wires connected. It was not the same as the front units. Dealer had no clue.

Edit: Just walked to the garage to check my memory. On our RED the rear satellite receiver cables are factory connected to the Video 1 inputs on the TV.

I see the RCA cables and satellite cable but I can't get it to work properly.

Try going into the TV input setup menu and selecting a different input. If Tiffin is still using Panasonic TVs, there should be a button on the TV remote marked "input."

If it is using the RCA inputs.. NOt only do you have to select one of the A/V in's on the TV but you have to have the RCA cables hooked up at the sat receiver as well.. Should be marked, no guarantees on that however. (Marking may be "Rear TV" or "Sat" depending on if it feeds the TV directly (how I"d do it) or via the video switch (The other way I'd do it)

Do you have your imput cable plugged into a router like a Wineguard that allows you to use the system in multiple locations in your unit. The Direct TV "tech" who set up my unit while down in east Texas had no idea of what a router was and insisted on using a spliter. Reception on the bedroom TV was almost unviewable and the front was not great. Soon as he got off the site, I tore apart his jury rigged hook up, plugged the satellite imput back into the router, then plugged the front, rear and storage compartment cables into there respective output on the back of the router. System works excellent. The thing that really ticked me was he charged me $30 for a $3 Home Depot splitter. I complained, but evern his supervisor had no idea what a router was.
