Prewired

I have unused cable wires. I was told my 2011 bounder was presided for a dish. But no one seems to know where the wires go.

You can get a tone generator / listener at Home Depot that will help you label what wire goes where. About $65 or so. In the low voltage electrical aisle / tools.

The wires aren't labeled?

The dish has one or possibly two Coax wires coming into the coach that goes to the Sat receiver. Out of the Sat receiver would be HDMI to the TVs (for a modern installation).

Older systems have Coax going to each TV (possibly including into the basement for an outdoor TV). There may be a Coax switch to change which input goes to which TV.

I upgraded all of the electronics to use modern HDMI stuff so the coax is just from Sat dish (two) to Sat receiver.

Each of the roof antennas are also likely Coax. So, AM/FM to the dash radio, AM/FM to the AudioVideo receiver, CB antenna to the CB, TV over the air antenna to the Audio Video receiver(s).

And there is likely a coax in the wash bay to connect to a campground Cable or TV antennas. This would typically go to the front where the Coax switch is located. That same wire is sometimes used for Sat TV for a portable Sat dish if you are parked under trees and your rooftop dish can't see the satellite.

That tone generator is a good idea!
And you are right to the tv would be a HDMI.

Prewired

I think I purchased my cable tracer at Fry’s Electronics. Came with 5 end plugs to screw onto the remote cable ends. Use tester to check cable at control box. Color light indicates which cable has that color plug. Used color tape then at each end to identify. Cost of tester was under $20.
