Our new 2015 Bighorn 3570RS 5th wheel came with an LG tv in the living area above the fireplace and has two HDMI cables connected to it. I traced one of them and found it comes from a wall plate in the overhead entertainment cabinet. The second cable however disappears after going thru the same hole leading up to the overhead cabinet but does not come out the other end. I have no idea where that second cable goes. The Jensen audio system just above the TV has a dvd player however i believe it is connected to the tv by the older legacy RCA type cables (red, white, yellow). Anyone venture a guess on where the second HDMI cable goes. Thanks.

I do have an hdmi faceplate in the bedroom closet but i figured that connected to the cdmi faceplate in the ceiling above our bedroom tv. Haven't tested that theory yet though. Thanks..
Ok, i guess that is a possibility. I have never seen a dvd player with an hdmi output.. usually hdmi is only on bluray players.. However we are talking about a Jensen audio/dvd combined device so hdmi out from that device is very possible. thanks..

Moved on to the next thing...
I have two DVD players in the house that are not BlueRay . . . but are upconverting DVD players, which use an HDMI out to do the 'upconverting'.

I'm currently using an HDMI junction box for more HDMI outlets--for the entertainment system, satellite, and Amazon Fire. The TV is not WiFi capable.
I'm doing the same - using a super-old 1x3 HDMI switch. They're not too expensive these days (under $20). I get stuff like this from MonoPrice.com (link)
I'm curious as to what you're using for internet access while traveling to be able to stream from you're Amazon Fire. We have a Verizon MiFi but only 5 gb of data/month. No streaming for us.

You've guessed right--we're currently not traveling, but living in a mobile-home park. We'll be using it as a home base for the next 18 months before following the weather. The rent is only $177 a month plus electricity, which is running $50 a month under my current contract price with the electricity company. So, I contracted with Time Warner for a 20 Meg service, ran the cable through the UDC hole into the main compartment where I have my Modem/Router combination located. The lot is huge (50X100) plus no neighbors on either side of us. I extended the sewer connection and put on a fitting that connects to a regular RV sewer hose. It's very quite here, but I do miss the RV community.
We have a 2016 Landmark Ashland and i was wondering if there was another way to connect the 47" LG television to the Satellite box other than running it up in the front of the cabinet with it showing. Otherwise we will have to drill a hole underneath the cabinet for the hdmi cable to pass through so it won't show. I noticed the hdmi ports in the wall behind the tv and up in the cabinet hoping it was some sort of a jumper cable to plug the tv and the satellite box into to hook it up, but that didn't work and trying to get an hdmi cable worked down to the Tv through the holes in the cabinet looks to be almost an impossibility. Any advice out there as to what to do other than drilling a hole to run the cable through?
Thanks! Just trying to make thinks look neat!

Hi Dana22,
The LM 365s I looked at in June at the factory had a BluRay player above or next to the TV, connected via HDMI. They also had a set of wall connectors, including another HDMI that were pre-wired to the TV so you could hook up a satellite receiver or other device, without taking the TV off its mount.
I'm sure when you plug into that HDMI connector, you also have to cycle through the TV inputs to find the right one. Some TVs can have 4 or 5 HDMI inputs.
The connector group probably looks something like this.
The HDMI connector is just above the outlet.
This tv believe it or not only has 2 HDMI plug ins. One already has something plugged into it so HDMI 1 is the only choice. I plugged into the plug in that you mentioned and nothing happened. I wish it would have worked. Plug directly into the box from the tv and it worked. So I am back to square one again.

If you're plugging into the TV, then you should be able to see if the wall cable is there. Maybe it's not plugged in to the TV, or perhaps it was missed. Take the HDMI wall plate off the wall and see if there's a cable plugged into the back. If so, maybe you can find the other end hanging somewhere. If no, then maybe you can fish a cable through.
