If you have an antenna that you can aim, you can use this website to find the tower locations. The new antenna on our Surveyor does not raise, lower or turn and most of the time the signals are blocked by the air conditioner.

How do I hook up to the antenna that's on top of the camper?

I have a 2020 Forest River Cherokee Destination Trailer - there's an antenna on top and I think the TV in the living area is hooked up to it. My question is this - we bought another TV to set outside for football game watching on weekends and what not - how do I hook it up to the antenna that's on top of the trailer? Is it the coax line out? or something else? I have googled and cannot figure this out. Or can only one TV be hooked up to that antenna?

Just hook it up to the coax connection outside. They’re all joined in the trailer. Turn the amp on for antenna and off for cable.

How do I "turn the amp on"? I must be missing something...?

On the face plate where you hook up your coax on the main tv there should be a tiny button. A light should come on when it is on.

Yours will most likely look like this in a 2020 camper:

Here is the instruction booklet in case they failed to include it in your packet.
