2015 Keystone Outback 326RL - Wiring Diagram

[susanr63]

We are the original owners of a 2015 Keystone Outback 326RL, but a new member to this forum.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2015 Keystone Outback 326RL? We are specifically trying to locate the coaxial cable splitter location so it can be replaced.

No such document exists for that camper or any other. What leads you to believe that you have a bad splitter?

 

[susanr63]

We asked the cable tech to look at it this past weekend while we were camping. He said the signal is good going into the camper but suggested that the splitter may need to be replaced since we are not getting a good signal to either TV. Unfortunately, what you indicated is also what Keystone said to me today. I just find it hard to believe that they would not have a wiring diagram for each of their models. The splitter may not be the problem, but easy enough to try if we can find it instead of rewiring all of the cable, which was his other suggestion.

Starting in 2019 they used KeyTV which is a signal controller module that has single runs of cable from the module to each TV location making it easy to diagnose/troubleshoot.

Prior to that (like your year), the cable runs from the outside connection to the wall plate behind the main TV. From there, it will split to a second TV location. If you remove that wall plate, you may just find the splitter there.

If you’re trying to get campground cable TV, first thing to check is that the booster is turned off. The back of that plate should have:

ANT in
CBL in
And possible TV2

Thank you both! We'll try your suggestions and let you know the outcome.

Chuck is correct. If you have the wall plate set to antenna (typically a push button) then it will not pass the cable input pass thru. In Chucks description the wall plate antenna booster has 2 outputs so it negates the need for a splitter. With both tvs effected I would bet the booster is still on antenna or it has failed.

On the TV booster plate where the TV is connected to the antenna/cable you should find a plate similar to this photo. Note the "very small button" next to t he LED ?? That is the antenna amplifier off/on switch. It must be off (no illuminated LED) for cable to be passed through the amplifier circuit. Turn off that amplifier, go to the television setup, select cable, do a "channel scan" and see if you get campground cable channels.

Welcome from northern Mn. Might want to post under trailers? I have never come across a wiring diagram for any rv.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, can you tell me more about the picture you posted in the middle? The one that has the DC plug on the top. Can you tell me what that is for? Is it available so that I can plug in an inverter there, and plug my tv into it, so that I can watch tv when I'm not hooked up to shore power?

 

[flybouy]

If you zoom into that Pic you'll see under that plug "12vdc 8 amps max". So to answer your question yes you can as long as it draws less than 8 amps.

Thank you.

Would this product work do you think?

Yes, that "mini 12VDC inverter" will work in the 12 volt plug on the Wingard plate. That said, the way Keystone typically wires their trailers, every time someone flushes the toilet or turns on the exhaust fan, the voltage will drop and you'll probably find that the television will shut down. Why? That plug is on the same circuit and when the inverter detects "low voltage" from the pump or fan startup, it shuts down the inverter to protect it and everything plugged into it. So, it'll work, but probably not very well.....

Thank you for helping me out. I appreciate your time.

Ok, I took a look at this one. The first one was 75W.

This one is 120W. Would it be better for me to buy this one?

If your intending to plug it into the 12 volt accessory socket in the Wingard antenna plate, then it won't matter which one you buy, they will all likely "drop connection/shut down" when you turn on the water pump, when the bathroom fan comes on or when the furnace starts. Why? Because the wiring to that 12 volt accessory socket is not large enough to carry the amperage needed to run an inverter PLUS cope with the battery demands placed by starting any of the other 12 volt components.

It's not the inverter, it's that socket's ability to power the inverter without a voltage drop that would "shut it down"...

Thank you again. We are just going to use it to run the Furrion TV and an IPAD for a few hours before bed. We'll be driving each day in between, most of the time we'll have shore power. Just a few days here and there we will be relying on this for entertainment. I appreciate your time and knowledge.
