Look around for a little square with lid, might not have a park cable hook up you can take the amp cover off and see how many cables are on it should be one for antenna, one for TV 2 and one for PK cable total of 3 cables
Check the compartments too sometimes they would stick a stub out plate in them

The best place to look is where the shore power compartment is. That would be the obvious place because the campground cable is usually mounted right on the power outlets.

Welcome to the forum, Scott. You can learn a lot right here.... And maybe teach some of us a few new tricks yourself.  I'm sure you'll find it.

The camper might only be set-up for the batwing...there is a Batwing on the roof, right?
Is there a switch box somewhere in the camper or something in your manual that shows you can connect to a cable input?

Can you trace the cable runs from the jacks inside? If all else fails, just drill a hole and place a connector where you want it.... A dab of silicone caulk on the outside, a finish plate on the inside, run a little cable, and you're all sealed up and ready to go! Why not? You can even put a splitter on it, if you want, or run to the existing jacks.

I'm still trying to figure out if you're looking for the plug that the campground provides (might not have cable at the campground), or the plug on the exterior of the RV to allow the cable in?
