HELP!!!!!! Cable TV Problems 315RLTS
Feel like a nimrod for this, we have parked for good and we are actually using our tv. Well trying to use it anyway, I have a 315RLTS TT and the place we are at has a box for cable tv. I have tried every configuration in the pass-through where the connections are. I have tried youtube and everything I can think of (which at 70 isn't much), including my older son the computer tec. Any help at this point will help. I need help getting the signal into the bedroom and the front room.

First, in the wet bay, there should be several F connectors (coax hookups). They SHOULD be labeled, with one of them being labeled CABLE. Connect the coax to that one.
Second, for the main TV, behind it, there should be two F connectors. One that has a little push button switch next to it and one that doesn't. Next to the switch, there should be a little red LED, it is probably lit. Push the switch and the LED should turn off.
Now, on the TV, scan for channels again, and they should come in. The little switch and LED is the over-the-air antenna booster. With that on, your TV won't see most, if not all, of the cable channels.
Now, for the bedroom. There should be two F connectors near the TV. If they are labeled, one should be CABLE and the other should be SATELLITE. If not, more it's trial and error. Try one, and scan for channels, if you get nothing, try the other one and scan for channels.
That SHOULD get it done for both TV's.
Please keep in mind that my advice is worth what you pay for it, so I might be very wrong about your setup.

One thing I will add to @MoonShadow_1911 excellent write up is myself and many others have found 1) There are many connections in the cable routing (buried inside the trailer) and 2) many of these connectors are very loose giving poor or no signal. If MoonShadows advice does not fix your problem, try running a cable from the pedestal directly to a TV. Set the TV (via the menu) to "cable" and then rescan for channels. If that works, then start connecting and trying things in the trailer. If the direct connection does not work, you will need to debug it before moving onto the trailer.

HELP!!!!!! Cable TV Problems 315RLTS
Hi Folks, my 315 is a bit different. To get both tv’s working on cable for mine, I have to use a splitter. In the wet bay I have 4 connections, cable, satellite, aux and o/s tv.
I run a splitter and connect one to cable for lr tv and one to aux for bedroom. That is the only way I have been able to get them both to work. And yes, you need to turn the antenna booster switch in the lr off.
Good Luck!

And when all else fails, those loose cable connections will probably be in back if the sound system. All of the cables in my rig are color coded to make tracing bad connections easy. Or you can buy one of these.https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to trace everything. Then once you isolate the issue it's easier to fix.
