The amplifier is probably located in the antenna head on the roof. Wingard has a "filter/switch" on the "booster panel" mounted behind the TV (or in the ceiling). That is the power supply/switch unit. When you push that button and the green light comes on, all that "unit" is doing is providing 12 VDC to the amplifier/booster that's "on the roof". As for splitters, every model trailer will have (or not have) splitters as required to connect every TV location.
Now, as for "troubleshooting your specific problem"..... If all the TV's operate normally on OTA with the rooftop antenna, then the splitters/connections to every TV location are intact, otherwise, you would not be able to receive OTA signal at each TV. So, the problem lies either with the booster switch or with the RV input wiring from the "cable connector" on the side of the RV and the co-ax and/or splitters run from that "outside cable connector" to the booster switch. From that booster switch to the TV's, the same "signal flow" is used, so if it works on OTA, it'll work on cable. IOW, from the switch to the TV's is OK, focus your efforts on verifying the booster switch is operational and all the co-ax and connections from outside to the booster switch.
