I have a 2019 Bighorn 5th wheel 3160EL, the tv in the living room gets around 15–25 stations as to the tv in the bedroom will only get 2-8 stations all of this is through regular rv antenna (not satellite or tv boxes). The living room has a splice with 2 coaxial cables and I attached an internal antenna booster, (which probably helped with all of the stations). But the problem is the bedroom tv. I have moved the rv antenna and attached a booster to the coaxial connection located in the closet and made sure the green light is on and also attached a booster directly to the tv (which I have to move it around until I get something and it is inside the rv). Don’t understand how I can have more stations in living then in bedroom. Can someone please advise. Thank you
Not enough tv stations

Yes on both, in the area where the dump valves/water hookup, there is a total of 5 coaxial connections but not labeled. Maybe need to connect an exterior antenna to one of them and see what happens ?

When you open that compartment door, look up. On our rig the chart/instructions are on the inside of the door.
Hello, yes I seen the chart and there are 4 connections for satellite and one for CATV. I connected an outside antenna to the CATV and still only 3 stations in the bedroom and that is weird because I get like 6-8 watchable stations in the living room. I have an interior antenna w/amplifer connected to the bedroom tv (but no cable connects from tv to rv) and I have the same (but different style) connected in the closet (cable does connect from antenna to rv but amplifer light goes out as soon as I connect to the rv connector and the green light is on)
Confused yet ?

I've got a weird one for you: I was experiencing a low number of channels available on the bedroom TV. Occasionally I would get more channels, but then sometimes I would get less. We have USB ports next to our bed and I found that if I had a device charging from one of those USB ports, I would get less channels. I concluded that the USB ports were either broadcasting noise or placing noise on the power source that affected the TV amplifier. When I unplugged the device being sourced from the USB port, the signals became stronger. For what it's worth.

if I run any of the vent fans, that causes interference so bad that you lose all stations

Yes, then where the tvs are, you need to move the coax from antenna to satellite.

Yes I understand that, but you should have satellite feeds to each tv. If you look at the booster in the bedroom, is there 2 coax connectors there, 1 for antenna and the other for satellite feed. Behind the livingroon tv, on the faceplate for the antenna connection, is there another 1, it's for satellite feed.

Oh, and your satellite feeds should be in your wet bay.
lol, I have a 5 connection slice, connected the outside antenna to the “in” connector and a cable from the “out” to “living room “ and then the other cable from the “out” to the bedroom. And still only a few stations. Honestly, ready to pay for AT&T wireless internet to go service. I have connected and disconnected cables more than I like to.
