The only thing I was hoping for was maybe getting the TV to work and pick up a local station. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

During your PDI, they should've explained how the two different electrical systems work.
The outlets are 110v AC, NOT 12v DC.
Only some Motorhomes have factory INverters that are connected to the outlets, cause it would take 4 or more deep cycle batteries to be able to provide power to the outlets.
We got a 400w inverter installed and wired to our dual batteries to run our tv and dvd and to recharge electronic devices.
