Hello! Just got a 2019 33AA and I'm ready to upgrade it. Is the 33AA pre-wired for the Winegard Connect 1.0? I'm 93.5% sure it is since there's a loose cat 5 cable in a forward cabinet above the passenger seat area that's labeled Winegard. I also see something on the roof (see attached picture).
I'm considering installing the 1.0 or 2.0 myself. Looks like the 1.0 would be an easy install. Probably would have to figure out power over ethernet to go with the 2.0. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben

If you have the Winegard cable in the front cabinet, then that plastic "mushroom" will contain the ethernet cable for the ConnecT 1.0. If you are going to install a 2.0 you might just connect to the power for the dome antenna since all the 2.0 requires is a 12v connection. I also thought about combining some wire pairs in the ethernet cable to convert it to a 12v source. Instead of the ConnecT, I recently upgraded to a MoFi 4500 which is a WiFi router, bridge, and cellular receiver all in one. So far it has been working great.
