Adding a Tv/coaxial outlet

New to the forum and looking for information on the best way to add an exterior Tv/coaxial outlet to my 2014 Hyperlite 27hfs. Not sure the best way to add the cable and run it to the exterior so I can hook up my Tv to the antenna, the same way as the interior Tv's. I have no problem doing this type of work in the house, but have never messed with wiring on the camper. Any recommendations would be great.

Your OTR antenna has a booster that's powered ... the plate with the green light ... one of the coax connections is "other" TVs... for me, the coax cables on that output splits and runs to the bedroom and garage TV locations. I don't know if its easier to run to the booster or to an "other" TV location in your TH ... but you will split it where ever and run to the outside weather resistant coax box. For me, I would run from the garage outlet; split it there... drop down the inside wall and run inside the cabinets to the outside box. I would have to see your unit to go into more detail.

Thanks! That's generally what I was thinking, but wasn't sure if there was anything to watch out for or best way.

I put the splitter in the bedroom. Dtilled a small hole into the basement where I keep a coiled 10 ft coax. When using the tv outside I simply connect the coax after pulling to the tv.
