CAT 5 Cable and Cable splitter

On my 2013 36FL in the side compartment I have connections for:
Cable, Satellite and a female plug that I believe is a CAT 5 connection, does anyone know where the CAT 5 comes out inside? Also I believe when the roof mount Satellite was installed they disconnected the splitter due to no connect from outside to inside, any idea where the splitter is located?

If it is the same as our 36RL 2013 it is probably not a CAT 5 but a CJ telephone jack. We're using ours to deliver internet DSL into our coach. The other end terminates in a jack above our TV in our living room. On a FL I would guess it terminates somewhere near the TV in your upper living room.

On our 2013 36RL there are no splitters in the coax lines from the roof dish to the bedroom and the entertainment center, we have 4 coax lines coming in because of our Canadian sat dish, you may only have 2. Redwood installed the 4 coax lines, they don't do that now on new units for us Canadians!

On our '12 36RL the line from the Wet Bay to the Living Room was never terminated, pulled the complete cable out and nothing on the end.

Thanks, does yours's have a wall plate or just the wire coming out of a hole in the wall the wall? I am chasing coax cables but no luck in even getting the roof antenna to work.

Our coax lines just stuck out in the entertainment area but there were wall plates in the bedroom. I got a cable tracer from Home depot and checked each one, and then marked them so I know which one goes where. Let me know if you need a HD link

Redwood is terrible with cable routing and most Dealers are Clueless about what's there.

From tracing mine the antenna cable goes directly to the back of the booster, found near the bedroom tv, which must be "on" to receive antenna signal, the park cable also goes directly to the booster which must be "off" the receive cable signal, then from the "out" connection on the booster to a splitter that I found in the ceiling by removing the bedroom light fixture above to the right of the bedroom tv. That splitter was connected wrong with the "in" connected to one of the "out" slots.
Once you've got all the connections sorted properly you'll need to go to the setup menu on each tv, set to the appropriate input, booster on/off accordingly & do a "channel scan", this must be done every time you move or change inputs.

On our 2015 38GK the splitter was in the living room behind the ceiling light on the passenger side above the sofa. That took awhile to hunt down. At one point I had cables hanging from every light. Tom at Crossroads was certain it was in the bedroom, WRONG!!!! i

Dealer where we purchased it from in Michigan sent the drawing. I’d call the Crossroads service center In Indiana.
