Hooking up Satellite Tv in my 2015 Jayco 33RLDS

Just wondering how to hook up Satellite TV in my Jayco 33 RLDS. I will be putting in two satellite Receivers. I know that I disconnect the jumper and connect to A for the TV over the fireplace. How do I connect up my second receiver in the bedroom. Where do I run the RG6 cable from?

Don't know if this will help you but I ran another connector below the sat connector, that one is hooked directly to the receiver and then the receiver is hooked directly to the tv with a HDMI cable. So the living room tv bypasses the trailer wiring. Now if I want the tv in the bedroom to work all I do is connect to the SAT in connector and then the tv in the bedroom works the way the living room tv should have worked. Also what kind of Satalite are you hooking up to.

I am hooking up Bell Satellite TV. When you take the jumper off you have an A & B connection. I know the A connector is where the satellite signal comes in from the dish and hooks up to the receiver to give me TV over the fireplace. I am wondering what is the B connecton for, and how would I use it.


And also, I made a Kitchen island and put it in our trailer. Friends of ours bought a travel trailer and it had an island in it. My wife loved it. It is 36" x 16". With a 36" x 24" counter top on it. One end of the counter top hangs over the island and I put 2 bar stools there. There is lots of room for it. She likes to cook so it gives her lots of counter top space.


tks for the reply

The first thing I would do it to contact Jayco for a a/v wiring schematic for your rig. It makes it much easier to know where the coax runs and from where. I have heard they will not respond in a positive manner to this request via email if your rig in still under warranty (no idea why), but just call them. It is easy to say NO in an email, but much harder to a live person. They emailed me a copy of mine in minutes.

I'd suggest bypassing the trailer's wiring and run your coax directly into the unit and your receivers. A Dish installer told me having problems with the unit's wiring is the rule, not the exception.

Can you use the DVD player with this setup?

Yes we had one set up. What we did is pull the radio out and find the yellow red and white RCA connection and buy from Radio shack three connectors that are like a 'T' so you can hook the dvd player into it. It has been a long time ago that we did this. So it is a little fuzzy. Did not hook up a HDMI cable. That might have been easier.

x2. I ran 2 separate cables from the dish into front storage through the wall into the bedroom. Any splitters, splices or any other breaks in the cable will cause issues.
