252RL RV Park Cable and TV Coax Wiring Diagram

[rvdude]

Hello everybody. I have a question regarding the coax wiring in a 252RL. I would like to use the rv park cable whenever I'm somewhere that they offer it. I tried a couple of weeks ago and could not get it to work. I tried scanning the tv with the booster on and with it off. Does anybody know the proper way to get the cable and does anybody happen to have a coax wiring diagram for a 252RL? I did try searching for this but could not find any posts. Thanks for any help.

Can't help you with the wiring diagrams, However When scanning you want the booster on for over the air channels and the booster off for cable channels.

While not specific. Scroll down from the new post section and you will find a resource section. There is a generalized document regarding the coax layout posted there.

Thanks for the replies. I did try it on both connections in the pass through storage with the booster on and off. I didn't take a lot of time to attempt it but I will toward the end of the month. I'll be out with my group and I'm pretty sure that park has cable. The 2 parks I have been at the past 7 days didn't have cable.

Get STARLINK. Cable is a thing of the past.

And your money is a thing of the past too!!
T-Mobile cellular service is awesome at just $50/mo. IT works well unless you are in a remote area. If using for business then it is justifiable. If not, get a cheap CD player or card game and entertain yourself. Hard to justify the cost for more than 300GB/mo.

Well, if you come boondocking in PNW, get a Starlink or have no internet. There are sooooo many remote places we boondock in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Montana that have ZERO cell coverage. We were camping about 6 years ago in a location with no cell coverage and we were loving life, being disconnected from the world. However, the world had different plans and started a wildfire in our home area. Our entire neighborhood was evacuated and we had no clue. When we finally left and got back into cell coverage, my wife and I had ~200 text messages and 30+ missed phone calls. I happily hand my money to Starlink now.

There is certainly value in Starlink, However Starlink isn't for everyone. There is value in T mobile or various brands wireless routers But they also aren't for everyone. Depending on your camping style and location we all have options.
One of the great things about RV's in general is that they are very versatile. RV's can be used in various ways, in various conditions,in different climates, for various reasons.
When it comes to television which is the origins of this thread. Over the air TV has come a long way. Although I prefer streaming options Depending on what you're trying to accomplish over the air is viable option that doesn't require any Internet at all.
With that in mind, just using cell phone options for internet connections gets the job done for many people with no additional cost.
Cost comes into play with all of our options. For some the costs is necessary and affordable. For some the costs are excessive and a deal breaker.
There is no right answer or one size fits all solution, in the end it comes down to personal decisions.

I leave my T-Mobile home internet at home to operate the thermostat and cameras. (I used to bring it with me til I bought my house last year.) I have a T-Mobile hotspot that I use for internet and streaming tv. As for starlink, I'll be putting that several hundred dollars a month in the truck to help with diesel fill ups. As for using cable (thing of the past or not) if it's included at the rv park then I would like to use it.
