Install Hopper in Travel Trailer Camper?

[Chris04626]

I did some more looking at the wiring in the camper

The wire he ran for the internet is perfect flex 6 Series 18 awg Would this work for the hopper?

The wire from the living room jack to the tv is rg 6 so im wondering if they used that for the cable connection there, i wonder if they used rg6 throughout.

OK i did a test. On my duo node from my house i ran a wire from an empty to client spot and ran to the sat input on the back of the camper and put the joey at the main tv, and it works great.

I unhooked one of the To Host ones and ran a cable from that to the perfect flex 6 Series 18 awg that they had ran into the bunk house for the internet, It works but some channels do not This cable is ran to the input of a splitter they had ran the output runs to the internet, the other runs to te cable input.

I am not sure if its the splitter thats causing some channels not to work or what the issue is any idea?

You can bet on it...

Can you take the splitter out and just use a barrel to connect the line you need?

That's the plan when I get to campground with it. Was just making sure current wiring to camper will work

What kind of dish should I get

 

[Chris04626]

Any idea what dish i would need for this install, and a good meter for pointing the dish?

 

[Chris04626]

I looked it up and it appears i need a dish 1000.4 because i am in Maine

What is a good non expensive satelite finder tool to help point it
