Thanks for the replies . No it seems to just have the one outlet for the antennae.
Oddly enough .Its a 2005 fleetwood dakota 29bhs
You would think by the year it would !
My husband likes taking the easy way out of stuff , so basically I usually have to find help
This is what I was told later last night :
you need a "straight run" from the dish to the receiver. In our case we bypassed the antenna/cable switch to get a straight run. If you have no cable input on the trailer, the next easiest way to get the signal into the RV would utilize a small length of flat RG-6 cable to go through a window (even when the window is closed) like this one
https://amzn.to/2s6KeYp . Otherwise, IMO your best bet is to come in through the refrigerator vent, if yours is on the roof and not in the side of a slide like ours is. That way you keep your over-the-air antenna intact. As a last resort, I'd use your husband's method, but perhaps you can run the satellite cable side-by-side next to the antenna cable, and therefore keep that antenna intact?
Hope this helps!
