Tv issue
We just put the tv in our new Jayco. Can't get anything off the antenna. We could always get a few channels on our old trailer. Trying to figure out if we are missing a step. Help!

That's what got me. Press the button next to the cable connection. Magic. Also follow the instructions should be posted on the cable connection in your camper. Have to remove the jumper cable to get the antenna signal to your TV connection.

My thought as well. Push the button near the 12V cigarette plug until the light is on. The switch is off for cable/ sat.
You could also try rotating the antenna and reprogramming the TV

Check your coax connections.
Verify you have selected the correct input.
Try a different TV.

True.... You do need to scan for channels too.

Some units have a short jumper cable to divert the signal from a dish,cable or roof antenna. What do you have for a TT?

The coax jumper is almost certainly the culprit. My understanding is that it routes whatever is selected to the bedroom tv
