Where is my roof satellite coax connection

On my last coach there was a coax connection for a roof top satellite antenna.

On this coach i see none on the roof. My winegard switching box (bomb, box with many buttons) has coax to it for satellite and cable. That sat cable is comming from somewhere. I have been using the wet bay cable connection for the Dish tailgater.

We are about to go to a campground for a month with free local cable and would like to use that and dish.

I think i remember someone saying they can hide it in a vent???

I can give you a quick way of doing both on the same cable. What you will need is two, 2-way signal splitters with one port DC passive and the other not. These are available at most big box hardware stores; just be sure that only one port is DC passive; that is very important. The port that is DC passive will have a line drawn on the splitter label from that port to the common input port At the bay end connect your satellite dish to the DC passive port and the cable to your switch box to the input port. Connect the park cable to the non-DC passing port. At the opposite end use the second splitter the same way; connect the DC passing port to the satellite input port of the box and the non-DC passing port to the cable input of your switch box. The common input is the cable input from the service bay. The entire idea here is that you keep the satellite power out of the park and your interior cable tv inputs. Hope this helps.
