I installed one of those TV WALL PLATES in my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer.... I only have ONE HDTV set in my POPUP...

I use the BAT WING HDTV antenna up on an outside pole up the side of my POPUP. I reach out the window flap to turn the pole to move the BAT WING antenna around to pick up stations... My ANTENNA PREAMP is located in the BAT WING antenna...

Booster is usually under main tv. It will have coax in and out with a small button to turn on or off. It may also have a 12v socket type plug

It was mentioned to turn off the booster. Where is the booster located at? I have a 2019 Launch 31BHS. I haven’t seen or heard about a booster. Maybe might doesn’t have one. Thanks in advance for an answer.

I agree. Do a cable channel scan or search. Booster must be off. You must do this every . time you change locations( campgrounds) If you are near a city and have no cable at the campground use the booster and do an over the air channel scan.

You will have to run a channel scan using the menu button on the TVs remote control. However depending where you are this may or may not work without a digital cable box. Remember to turn off the booster box before doing a channel scan of the cable channels since the box will scramble the cable signal. That booster is meant to help find over the air channels.

Help with tv/cable hookups

Post by djmiles1176 » August 7th, 2018, 1:12 am

Hello all! We are first time travel trailer owners and just purchased a 2016 Launch ultralight 27bhu. We love the camper and took it to the beach this past weekend for our first adventure. I never thought much about the tv hookups, however it rained almost every day and I attempted to use them but couldn't get them to work. Our campground had on site cable hookups which I connected to the outside of our camper. On the inside of the camper there are two hookups- one labeled tv and one labeled satellite. Above them is also another set of hookups which has a jumper connected. No matter what I tried I couldnt get them to work. The camper also has a furrion radio/dvd player that I could hear sound from via the campers speakers but no video signal on the tv. Any help from you guys would be appreciated!
