We just got a 2018 Montana High Country 305RL. I can’t figure out how to get my antenna TV to work. I do the “auto scan” and it doesn’t find any channels...even in an urban setting. I called Camping World and they said to find a small button that is the antenna booster. I can’t find one anywhere. Does anyone have a 305RL that could help? I’d love to watch some TV and am frustrated that I can’t figure it out. Thanks!!

If you follow the coax cable from the tv back to the wall, there should be a button on the plastic plate it screws into.

Try the bedroom coax hookup where it goes in the outlet too. Sometimes the button for the booster is at the bedroom TV.

Typically it looks like this photo. It will be connected to one of the TV's by the coax cable. Which TV? That's a question I can't answer for your floorplan. Some are in the bedroom, some are in the main cabin, some are buried in a closet, hidden from view. Anyway, this is what it should look like.

Thank you all so much. I found it behind the bedroom TV. I had been looking all around the living room TV.

One more TV question...I am now able to do the auto scan on the living room TV and watch shows perfectly. I went into the bedroom to set up my Furrion set there, I hit menu on the remote and I see the icons for Pucture, Sound, Time, Setup, Lock, and Channel. When I try to scroll over to Channel, it just jumps back to Pucture. I can’t find the auto scan on that TV. I also couldn’t find it in the Setup screen. Any suggestions?

I can't help you with the Furrion TV setup menu. I've never had one, and from the feedback that I've seen, I wouldn't buy one. Have you contacted Furrion Customer Support? They have an online presence as well as a phone support system. Maybe they can help you "undo the mystery"....

Go to page 29 of this manual. You will need to select OTA or TV antenna or some verbiage such as that and do an auto scan.

Also if you hook up to park cable you will need to turn that tv antenna booster off, go back into menu on tv, select cable tv, and a new auto scan.

Access to the channel scan is governed by the input source mode. If you have the TV on video or one of the HDMI inputs, the channel scan is not accessible.
ALSO
If the TV is set for "TV" for the source, also check that the type of source is set to "TV" and not "Cable" or your channel scan will come up blank. The reverse is also true if you're connected to "Cable" from the CG pedestal.
Aske me how I found THIS out...
