Where do they go?

In my new Georgetown 351ds in the TV compartment, over the passenger seat, there are several hookups. One is a switch for cable, antenna, and satellite. These are obvious. Now the question. I have a wall mount box that has audio and video RCA jacks? Where do they go? I also have a box with a DC cigarrette plug and a standard "F" connector? Where do they go?

My "manual", if you can call it one, has no info on any of the TV hookup components.

Thanks

Thanks
1. The RCA jacks in the wall plate go to TV and is designed for hooking up a Playstation or other video/audio input.

2. The DC cigeratte plug is a 12 volt DC plug for maybe your cell phone DV to cell phone charger?

3. Oh the DC plug also has a little button on it for your TV antenna Amp. The light must be on to get strong local channels.

My question is why didn't you ask these questions to the person you bought you motorhome from?

Good luck

Iggy, thanks for info. I did ask and I did not get a satisfactory answer. They were not the sharpest tools in the drawer. The more disturbing fact is that FV did not have a clue either. It just perturbs me that I can get no info other than appliance manuals from them. Surely they have to have some type of drawings to put these coaches together.

Just for curiosity, I went over to the Winnebago site and they have drawings on all their models...first class.

I wish FV would pay attention to these forums and see where some vital things are missing with their documentation.

That is why we are here. If you have any questions ask. We also have many documents that many of us have gathered and willing to share.
Here is one that is specific to your Ford Chassis. I believe you are on a 228" wheelbase Ford chassis.

Did you get all the Ford owners manuals?
Let me know and I can direct you to them online.

I've also used this input to hook up the digital camera to review photos on the flat screen. On my cover plate, there's a 3 position switch that's labelled by the 3 sets of inputs.
