2011 rockwood SUL Antenna booster.

We don't seem to get any channels on our antenna, about 30 mins away from the city.

I'm still learning as this is our first TT and we've only been out twice. Going to check that the tv is set for antenna and not cable. There is a coax into the antenna jack.
We don't have an antenna booster switch on our control panel though like I've seen on other rockwoods. Would the antenna booster switch be elsewhere, or not even have one?

On the 2 RV's I've owned the "switch" is right next to the coax port. The switch is just a small button and a little light comes on when activated.

Something like this. It might not have the large 12V round plug. The little black button is what you push and a light will come on. Look at the other campers to see what direction they have their antenna pointed and don't forget to go into the tv menu and scan for channels.

Yeah I’ve seen that picture. My cable just comes out of a hole in the wall behind the tv.

Edit: unless it’s behind the bedroom tv? I didn’t pull that one to look.

Have you done a scan on your TV for channels? First time I was out in TT, I was not familiar with the TV we got for our trailer. After doing a scan, I was amazed at how many digital stations were available.

My booster was in the storage compartment beneath the TV-set way in the back. You have to look for it to find it and the button isn't marked. The light is hard to see, too.
