    Coax cable how many and how long

    Dumb question. I have an imagine 2250rb. Question is how many and how long of coax do I need to hook up for cable. I figure one to go from post to camper cable. One short one for outside tv. Do you also need one for inside to tv. Thanks

    If you have a "Cable" input in your convenience center, the inside TV should already be hooked up. Be aware that you'll need to do the following:

    1) Turn off the antenna amplifier inside (usually a small button with a light on a switch plate).
    2) Set the TV to "Cable/Antenna" and scan for channels.

    As @NB Canada said, all coax cables are male at both ends - it's universal. The length you will need will vary depending on where you are staying. I carry a 30 ft. length of quad-shield coax and nearly every place we've stayed has required only half that - though I think we've used cable only once in seven years of full-timing.

    On our 2600RB, it's 35' to be safe. I don't expect to use cable very often. We use Dish and we use a 50' dual quad with ground wire to run from the antenna to the convenience center. Always have a roll of the coax laying under the inlet port.
