Welcome to the forum.
Not specific to your CS, but prep usually means that there has been cabling run through the coach to where most of the more costly components will be located. So the coax runs should be in place for receivers in the entertainment areas. There should be coax to the roof area(s) where an automatic "Traveler" type antenna would mount, as well as a base anchoring structure. Also the cable entrance for CG cable, tripod Sat., telephone. YMMV.
Undoubtedly other CS owners will add further insight.

I would call Newmar and ask. They have a representative for each coach line.

The tripod dish wiring is a special...unless they've changed it since 2016 to an option. Yes, CATV is std. but carry out dish, is/was a special.

I would ask Newmar specifically what Satellite "Prep" means. It could be totally different from what other brands/mfg. use.

Satellite prep on my 2014 CS was a conduit running from driver's side front of the roof to the A/V cabinet. Inside the conduit was a pull wire and 12v wires.
You will need to run coax cable(s) for the satellite dish. I ran two for my Winegard Trav'ler for Dish network. As others have said this may vary based on year/model, so a call to Newmar CS is a good idea.
