If you are going to the genie system then use the existing coax to connect from the SWM splitter to the mini genie in the rear. Replace the connectors on each end of the coax with crimp on connectors if it doesn't have them already. Then run what you need from the mini genie to the TV. If the TV doesn't have an HDMI input however that's kind of a waste. Id replace it.

Had you made this decision before you ran the coax you could have avoided doing it by using a Wireless miniGenie (C41W) along with a Wireless Video Bridge. We currently have a wired C41 miniGenie in our bedroom in the MH and a wireless C41W in our "Arizona Room". Both work well.

What kind of cable is the power cable? How many conductors ?

Since scotterbob never got back I will try to PM him.

Anyway, I need to change out my King Dome and want to go with the Winegard Trav'ler SK-SWM3.

The King has 2 coax's to it. Main and aux. Both come into the front of the coach. The aux is conn. to a coax that goes to rear 2nd reciever in BR non HD.

Main goes to tuner I think then to H24 reciever then HDMI cable to HDMI splitters in bsmt then to other TV's, front, center and bsmt

The Trav'ler has a power cable that is hardwired to the base.

Anyone know what kind of cable that is, how many conductors ?
