I am trying to locate where rear tv wire goes to. so I can split the signal coming out of a dish network vip 222 box which supports 2 tvs'
You can use the park cable input for your Tailgater and connect the receiver to that input inside your unit and run another coax from the receiver coax out port to where you disconnected the park and that should give you sat at both tv's. The output to the tv's will be SD not HD (HDMI required for HD) but both tv's should be the same as if you were hooked to a park cable input to your rig. This of course is assuming that the split for the aft tv was after where the park cable terminated in the rig.
thanks this the way I had my 5th wheel wired using a tripod dish. but now I have a roof mount winegard dome. a cable comes down from dome to front over door cabinet which feeds dish vip222 receiver. receiver feeds front TV via hdmi cable. now to feed back TV I have to find wire that feeds rear bed room. that wire will split off of receiver thru dp switch. some of the wires are wired thru the amplifier used for aerial. This will cause voltage problem if a wire is not removed from amplifier. there could be a splitter in a wall. I am trying to get a wiring diagram to see if a splitter or a possible back feed to amplifier exists. thank bill
We could use that diagram too! We were unable to get a signal inside our 24S from park furnished source. Had the park tech confirm signal to pedistall, thru our cable but when hooked up to coach, no pictue/sound on any source feed to tv. Air antenna works fine but unable to 'push' cable signal into coach. Any thoughts??
The park cable input goes to the antenna amplifier which also serves as a switch between the cable input and the antenna input. For watching cable, you need to turn off the amplifier. It is a little black button on the amplifier face plate. Green light on indicates amp on. Green light off (amp off) for cable.
If you don't know where the amplifier is, follow the antenna wire out of the TV back to its source. The amplifier will be where the wire attaches to the wall plate.

Yep, this is the answer. Here are some photos to help you find it and a manual of how it works.

no that's not it. I'd like to post photo but dealer has camper and corolla putting tow plate on car and stone sweep on camper. my amplifier plate has a 12volt plug in(female) for TV. and 1 jack for coaxial. no off/ on button, or light. in the rear is 3 coaxial 1 white 1 grey 1 black. grey I assume goes to aerial . white outside park entrance jack. black I can see ties to double jack next to booster plate. then they had a short loop coaxial cable to tie these jacks together. I think this one tied to loop is rear TV and outside slave jack on passenger side. once I find out for sure by tracing it with tone signal. I'll be able to hook up sat receiver. then I'll have to deal with trying to separate TV amplifier from cable. Probably by changing booster plate if this all pans out. if not there's always a window to jump out of. I always pick the first floor. bill

Sounds like it is the first photo in my other post. When you get your camper back you will find the button we are talking about.

I checked on camper today to see time line on getting it back from installing sweep & tow plate on car. while I was there I checked on off/on button on plate. it was there right behind jack. thank you for help you were absolutely right. I also used toner to find rear TV wire. It leaves double jack in front splits to outside passenger side then to rear TV. thanks again bill
