Easy:

The right "loop cable" is the satellite box connection. If you're using satellite TV, you remove the cable, one terminal is the "OUT" to the satellite box and the other terminal is the "IN" from the satellite box. If no satellite system is in use, then the "loop" is installed to complete the circuit from the OTA rooftop antenna to the Winegard booster control/TV outlet.

John explained the box/connection on the right. The one on the left is the outside antenna booster and cable/outside antenna switch. Push that button in for over the air antenna booster and out to turn it off and use the cable connection if so connected outside.

Everytime to go from antenna (OTA over the air) to cable you must go into the tv menue, change the input to cable or OTA and scan for channels.

you can always get a tester from HD or Lowes and you can track the wiring...sometimes that works the best.

Now I'm confused. My satellite box only has one coax connection which is "in" from the antenna. The only cable out of the box is HDMI, not coax.

I believe your trailer has the KEYTV system. The photos in this thread are from the "pre KEY" era. I'd guess its from about a 2013 or 2014 Keystone RV.

Other satellite boxes have coax out, yours just doesn't happen to.

Not you... cedarcreekwoody was wondering why HIS trailer was different from your photos... His is a 2019 with KEYTV. Yours is a model built prior to KEYTV. I was guessing around 2013/2014 (based on the vinyl covering on the luan wall panels), but it could be anything up to 2018. I think it was 2019 models that first appeared with KEYTV.

No. Actually mine is a pre-Key TV system. They started installing Key TV in mid 2019 and mine was manufactured in early 2019.
