Pinnacle issues

I have a 2015 Jayco Pinnacle. Two problems, the auto rewind for the power cord has stopped working. I'm thinking it's fused somewhere but can't find it. Second problem, the front room tv works fine but the bedroom tv will not bring in the same stations clear and also not near as many stations. Whats confusing is that they both work on the same antenna. Any help?

Can't help you with tv issue both TV's works fine in our 15 Pinnacle. But the power cord rewind quit on me and it was 15 amp fuse and blown you can't put to much strain on rewind motor or it will keep blowing fuses I have found if you pull power cord all the way out then start rewind it doesn't seem to bind up

Where was the fuse located? In the main box in the kitchen? Mine just quit on us, and only our third trips out!

Thank you! It happened out in front of our house when I had it out about 3" just to plug into 110 until I could empty the fridge, went to wind it back in and nothing! Luckily it wasn't out far, so didn't go to try for a fix. Taking it out in two weeks, so I'm gonna need to fix it b4 that trip. Learned three rigs ago to carry several spare fuses, they go at exactly the wrong time, every time.

Tim, the most common problem is that when they installed the coax cables they did not tighten the connectors enough. You will need to locate the splitter that has the two Tv's on it and with a wrench just give them a little more tightening. Just enough so that you can not loosen them by hand. They need to have a solid connection or you will not have a good signal/picture. I would assume that the splitter is in the media center. I had to remove the Tv antenna amp cover plate to get at the splitter.

Our bunk area Tv does not get a perfect picture when on the antenna, but when it is connected to cable it is perfect.
