Raptor 355TS where is my antenna Booster?

After owning this TH for nearly a year, we are in a park without cable and no satellite access due to trees. So for the first time, I'm trying use the TV using the antenna. But I can't find the Booster switch. I know what it looks like, but I sure can't find it. Any suggestions?

Ours is behind the TV in the main room but I've heard of them being in the bedroom at the TV cable hookup. It could be at any of the cable hookups.

Thanks. I looked around all the TVs. A previous rig had it in the front closet. Nothing there either.

My Impact had it in the garage where the cable hook up was. I looked all over and couldn't find it. I hope you locate it.

Mine is behind the TV in the living area. You can't see it without bending down and looking up behind the TV. Keystone is great at hiding things behind TVs. All my switches in the garage are behind the TV. Also in a cabinet in the front bedroom is common especially if you have a TV in the bedroom. Look in places not readily noticeable and places you would not expect.

Our 2013 Raptor also has it behind the TV in the bedroom.

I can't tell you "where it is" but I can pretty much assure you that one of your televisions is directly connected to it with a coax cable. If you go from the rear coax connector on each TV to the wall plate, you're almost assured of finding the amplifier. Occasionally, you might find it in some other location and all the TV's are connected with coax runs through the ceiling, but usually, it's connected to the TV input coax "on one of them"......

Thanks, everyone. It was behind the living room TV as you suggested. All I had to do was get a very bright flashlight, stand on my head, and do my contortionist imitation and there it was!

Not yet...

Glad you found your switch. I still haven't found the one on my Sprinter Campfire Ed.
From what I can tell, there is no way to raise or rotate the TV antenna, either. Never found a crank anywhere. I keep mine in a private campground and pull it out for road trips. Since I can't get anything on the camper antenna, I ran a cable from a cheap home-TV antenna out in the air directly to the main TV. 9 stations, good. Hooked the cable up to the cable jack on the camper and of course nothing. So, I need to find that darn booster switch and turn it off if it's on.
Thanks for the ideas, though, I need to get back up there and go hunting for the switch again.

Look at the coax feeds to the TVs. Mine are dark brown and if I hadn't stood at the right angle I would have not seen the LED. If it's off then your looking for a black button on a dark brown cover. Easy to miss.

In our Raptor it is located directly behind the TV hanging in the front bedroom. There should be four TV cable outlets throughout the RV so that gives you four places to start at least. Bedroom, living room, garage, basement.

In our Raptor the switch is located on the same plate with the 12 VDC outlet and single coax connector . Plate is located in the ceiling near the TV in the front bedroom. Could be anywhere

Good Luck ?, Remember these games from Keystone are FREE, I think . At least they remembered to label the only door as EXIT
