Thumbs down Outside satellite connection ports location

I have a 2011 Keystone Residence 405 that is permanent in our park. There is a deck on the patio door side from front to back full length of the unit. There is also skirting arond the trailer and deck so I can't see the under side of the trailer. I found the back bedroom coax connection port it is at the back of the trailer just above the bumper. My question is where are the outside connection ports for my living area coaxial in hook ups ? Can someone give me a idea of where to start looking for them are they underneath or in a removable panel somewhere ? I currently have a Shaw Direct Satellite (I ran the coaxial cable through a window) I would like to change this and use the connections behind the tv . My receiver has a PVR so i will have to run 2 coax cables .

Kerry, here is a link to the owner's manual:
https://www.google.com/search?source...60.I2I8QkcSEnU

Yes, I realize they are all worthless, but one never knows....
The manual states that the connection is on the SIDE of the RV. I've not seen one underneath, but that doesn't mean a lot. I would continue to look on the driver side, where water, plumbing and electrical are.

With a 2011 model year trailer, bought from a "previous owner," there's no guarantee that what you have is what Keystone built. That said, somewhere on the outside of your RV "should be" a coax connector. That connector, during those years, was a "dual purpose" connector, for cable and satellite TV. Inside, near one of the TV's are two plates. One has two coax connectors, connected with a short jumper, and the other plate has a cigarette lighter socket, a small button and one coax connector.

To use cable, leave the jumper in place and turn off the "amplifier, using the button" on the plate with the cigarette lighter plug.

To use satellite, remove the jumper, the bottom one goes to the satellite receiver IN terminal and the satellite receiver OUT terminal goes to the top coax connector. TURN THE LITTLE BUTTON OFF.

For over the air (OTA) using the antenna, turn the little button on, and you should have "antenna reception".

Here's a photo of the two plates you "should find" in your RV.

Keep in mind that the jumper plate may be installed upside down, if so, the top goes to the IN and the bottom to the OUT on the satellite receiver....

Also, remember that a previous owner may have changed anything or everything, so the above is a general statement of "the way Keystone built it"...
