Info needed on the TVs in my new to me rv.

I recently purchased a 2003 3803 DSDP. I am trying to get my TVs up to par using the original batwing antenna. I know this antenna came both with and without an amplifier. I would think this nice of a rv would have come with one, but I cant find it anywhere. I am very mechanically inclined and know the purpose of every button and switch I have found.

It has had 2 of the 3 TVs replaced with flat screens and none of the coax where attached to the switch box or TVs when I got it. I have traced each coax and managed to get the 2 flat screens to work, but not good enough.

I plan to replace the coax to the antenna after the 4th of July weekend and install a sensar pro meter.

My question is should this motorhome have came with an amplifier and if so where would it be located? My guess is it has been removed.

I've owned 16 or 17 RV'S and never seen one that didn't have an antenna booster, I bet it's there somewhere.

The Winegard antenna on my coach had the booster in the antenna head , 12 volt power through the coax to the head . Original booster power switch , in the overhead cabinet above the stairs , next to the Propane leak detector on/off switch.
Being 13 years old, could be somebody removed yours or disconnected the original power source and ; like mine; it was powered up through an aftermarket BOMB. ( Box Of Many Buttons) for TV signal source switching.
