We just got our trailer back from the dealer after they had to repair the Lippert awning that broke the first week I had it. I was anxious to wire for my satellite and add the TV in my bedroom. I had emailed Alliance regarding the coax wiring on the unit, but they couldn't give me a diagram (new model and all?) They still don't have an owner's manual for it.
I am an electrician by trade and have extensive low voltage experience as well. When I started tracing out the lines behind the TV, I pulled out the Winegard TV amp/switch, and isolated the runs. I kept getting strange readings on a couple of the runs. I removed the control panel next to the door for access, and I found they had installed (2) Splitters! They didn't need them, because the Winegard control has (4) amplified TV outs, and I was told by Alliance that they have provided a bunch of different runs so the customer can accommodate almost any AV system they want, which I agree with- it's pretty flexible. However, I don't know why they can't give a new customer an owner's manual and wiring diagram- surely they didn't just haphazardly put the trailer together without a plan.
I was able to connect everything like I wanted, and even get my Dish HDMI from the Main TV back to the bedroom with a pair of HDMI over Coax modems. I really like how the trailer is built, and they have some great ideas with the features, but the lack of an owner's manual and wiring diagram really ticks me off
