Hi Dcarr1123,
Some of the UDC setups are as in the attached drawing (from our Landmark). If you have 4 coax connectors in a row, 2 go to the rooftop prewiring and 2 go to the lviing room/bedroom areas. If you have a problem, don't overlook the possibility that the wires got mixed up on the other side of the panel.
Also, when setting up satellite the first time using an outside dish, it's a good idea to hook the wire from the dish straight into the receiver. Get it working that way and then reconnect using the trailer wiring.

Don't really know your model but in general one connection goes to main TV area and the other to someplace in the bedroom. Mine is in the closet.
Best thing if you simply can't get it to work is get a "wire tracer" at a big box store....usually $40 or so.
The other trick is to totally set the system up without using any RV wiring. This way you know the system is working at least which gives you confidence when using the RV wires. If it does not work you know where the problem is.
