trying to find the end of 12 volt from satelitte

[raysrv]

Hi Folks, Does any body know where the end of the 12 volt wire for the satelitte pre wire starts so I can switch the satelitte on and off. the dome is a winegard rt8035t in motion on a 2011 georgetown

Ray-

On the roof there are three vent terminations, white, which cap 1 1/2" pipe stubs. Two aft are active and vent the black and grey holding tanks. I have an additional vent terminal over the passenger seat in the vicinity of the front TV/DVD/ Sat terminals. The vent is fake and if you remove the one screw cap there are the cables needed for a Sat connection.

Thanks Vince? I pulled the wires. 1 coax 1 12volt (problem)the dome came with a 12v switch where does the power come from to install the switch..

Now I understand, you need the power supply for the antenna. I don't have the 360 but the 378. All electronics are mounted over the windshield. But I'm sure for both models power comes from the battery control center under the steps . They have about 20 fuses in the panel for the steps to the reefer lock control. Half are for chassis loads only like drivers chair, the other half if for coach functions like basement lamps etc. If not there the Ford fuse panel under the steering wheel to the left left blanks for about 15 uses for the power shade, radio and other things. You really need a diagram of all the supplies, I have them for mine but not complete. Sometimes they take a in line fuse and power a device with showing on a drawing. Can you trace the coax lead down and see its routing? At worst case you can run your own fused supply to the dome. Check those sources, they probably left the fuse out on purpose, Maybe call the elec div of Georgetown at FR. One last idea, pm Iggy, he has quite a few electrical sketches for the Georgetown, maybe he has the Sat system!

Email John Armstrong at FR. He should be able to get the information to you.

You should have a booster for antenna in same compartment the control box for all inputs, over the passenger seat. You should be able to tap into this switch for 12v.

Thanks for every ones help! I ended up sending
my pride and joy to the RV doctor. To have both tvs work independently from each other took a skill level higher than I posses in the high tech field. Ask Me about a 327 and I am all over it!!! I feel that forest river does a poor job pre wiring, there was no voltage at the roof,only 1 coaxel cable on the roof,Why dont they install HDMI cables?

Again Thanks for the help
