Two questions please

I have a 2006 Itasca Navion 23H. I want to use a Tailgater Satellite antenna and was wondering if there is any pre-wired access to the inside of the RV or if I need to add hookups? I assume the Wineguard Stationary Satellite switch is strictly for powering roof mounted satellite? I'm not sure where the wiring goes.

I also have an issue with the panel to check the battery and holding tank status. It works fine if I am on 12 volt however when I am hooked up to 110 all of the readings light up as full. This is not good when hooked up at an RV Park as I must shut off the shore power to check my tanks etc. Does anyone have any ideas what might cause this to happen?

Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts.

Doug

Page 8-2 of the 2006 Navion Operator's Manual shows the location of the portable satellite signal input (in the water bay) and the receiver connection location inside the coach.

boeingair, do you have the connection plate in the wet bay as shown below? That is were you connect the portable satellite dish.
Your second questions sounds like the converter is putting a lot of AC on the DC line.

Strange, my wet bay does not look like that.

boeingair, look in the area where the shore power cable is stored.

Found it, thank you. I never thought to look back in the back where the cable hookup is. Dummy Me.
