I am just trying to locate the other end on the cable that runs from the electrical bay. I need access to it for another purpose. Does it go to the Winegard wall plate?

If you are hooked up to cable just start unplugging the cable at the splitter.
If not get a MM and a small wire. Jump the other end with the wire and run a ohm test. You don't need a 50 foot cable.
I agree the sat is most likely not in that mix but something else is. Again I can't help much with out having my Moho with me.

Generally not. The Winegard plate has the wire from the roof top antenna (interesting on my coach it is not currently used but the antenna seems to function. Perhaps there is another splitter on the roof top unit that I can't see. The cable feed from the electrical bay and the Winegard will generally go to a switch that has antenna, cable and satellite positions. I would turn on the tv and unscrew the input to the splitter, if the tv stops then that's it! Without a switch, I frankly don't know how they switch between the antenna and the park cable input.

Sorry this post got so far off track. Your question is simple but unfortunately not been answered. I will be home next week and can check. I do know when I was adding a blue ray the splitter in your picture did not work as I expected. I think they use it as a junction box. I had unhooked the input but did not lose the cable tv feed. Very odd. My splitter is exactly like yours.

Satellite IS a seperate run from outside to inside....park cable run goes to backside of ant' booster switch.....menu on tv chooses the selection you choose.....A 50' coax cable just makes it easier to trace wiring...connect just like a jumper wire, only with positive connections.....it's not rocket science!

This is how to check the cable. You can put the jumper on the outside cable hookup and then just test each wire inside until you find the other end.

I am not saying I can't figure it out. If someone had already done it time could be saved! Thanks anyway.

The outside of cable is ground....the inside is power (hot)

Another reason for using a coax for a jumper is to check to connectors themselves.....have found badly installed ones even on new cables
