Re: [a/s] Cable or Antenna??? NO RED LIGHT



Don, look for what looks like a wall outlet with a 12v 
(automobile-style) cigarette lighter plug. In the same wall plate you 
might find to holes about 1/2" to 3/4" apart, each about the size of 
a #2 pencil lead. In most trailers, this is where the kitchen/galley 
area meets the living area, and another one might be in the bedroom 
on the forward wall/bulkhead.

Those would be where to stick the stripped ends of a TV twin-lead 
(300ohm) wire. If your TV doesn't have a twin-lead input, you'll need 
to get a balun (BALanced-to-UNbalanced) transformer, usually about a 
couple of bucks, or even free with many antennas and TVs.
