I have a tailgater with dish. It would not work with the sat connection in the docking station of my 2017 Laredo. (We are about to trade Laredo in on a Montana 3921FB). I had to run direct coax to the black box and bipass the sat system to make it work. When we first got the Laredo I tried an experiment - I hooked up the campground cable and signal came thru fine, which told me that the sat system had continuity but maybe the tailgater did not have enough “umphf” (highly technical term!) to get thru to the black box.

Anyway, I took unit to dealer for some warranty work and told them to check the sat wiring. They claim they found a faulty splitter and fixed it. I am about to trade this unit in on a Montana so I have not bothered to test it...don’t really care anymore. Basically I am fully expecting to need to run a direct line in my new Montana eventually. Maybe you somebody can explain the real story on “lack of umphf” in the dish tailgater system...watts, volts, amps, psi...whatever!
