TV connections on 3900FB 5th wheel
I recently purchased this rig and am hoping someone can answer a couple of questions about it. I see that the unit is set up for both cable and satellite connections as well as a rooftop antenna. Where do you connect the cable at a campground to the system? I figured it to be in the area where the water and sewer controls are but I haven't found anything. Inside I see by the living area tv two connections, one for cable and one for satellite. Same thing in the bedroom setup. Any ideas? Also have a switch at the power panel located above the thermostat and to the right of the front slide switch. (see picture). No idea what it does. Any help would be great.

TV connections
My connections are in the convenience center (see pic below). I hookup park cable here. I do not use the satellite connections. I have a Dish Tailgater and it will not work due to the numerous splitters in the RV. I run a cable thru a window to the back of my black box (ViP211z).

DUH!! You were exactly right! That's where they are in my rig also. The hose and showerhead were in front of the connections and I didn't see them. Thanks so much.

I have the same year and model and my question is about the switch in your picture. I cannot figure out what it is for either. Can someone help?

My guess is the switch is for the LED light strip under the awning.

The switch turns on LED strip lights in the V notches on the front of the unit. Took until it was dark outside to figure it out. Hope this helps.

I have the same setup and also run the cable through the window.

I have a 10 and i had my Dish guy come out and he got me up and running quick. he was surprised at how they ran the satellite wiring in my rv. Had me running in about 15 minuets. Ran a wire from inside my house to the rv. We stayed there during my house remodel. We connected the wire to the satellite connection on the outside of my rv.
