Rockwood ultralite

Have 2013 Rockwood Ultralite. Wondering where the antenna power booster is located if I have one and also have switch under overhead cabinet to left of front door as you enter. Can not figure out what this switch does. Any help out there?

I have a 2017. The switch on mine where you are describing turns the awning led lights on

Not to bother you again but when I looked not sure how they would plug in, if I had them. I can see the wiring down the awning arm.

Assuming you have the usual crank up Winegard antenna, you should have a wall plate where the antenna cable from your TV plugs into the wall. Looks like this:



The little button on the right turns the booster on and off; there's an LED that lights when it's on. (Note: The booster is actually in the antenna, this just turns it on and off.)

I've attached a manual for it.

You have to have the power on for the antenna to work. The amplifier passes very little si gnal without power.

That is because TV is connected in the back of the plate.

Thank you so much. I thought that was the reason as all of the wiring goes through the wall. Older but fairly new to RVing but love it. Still learning .

I suspect you have a power awning? And the wires you see are for it? just guessing.
