Freedom Elite 23H Cable Hookup

Greetings -

I'm now the owner of a gently used 2017 Freedom Elite 23H RV, but it didn't come with the owner's manual, so it's been a fun weekend of figuring stuff out.

For cable hookup, I was expecting to find a coax port on the outside of the RV, but wasn't able to locate one. For a campsite with cable, what is the preferred method to hook up the cable?

There is the typical coax hookup next to the TV that has the little green light that controls the power to the Antenna and should toggle the cable hookup, but is this the correct location to hookup an external cable (which means I'd have to run it through the door and into the cabinet?)

Any help would be appreciated... also, any other things I should be aware of? I've validated just about everything is in working order and had to fix a few things here and there, but no big deal based upon the deal I got.

We have a 24he. The cable hookup is in a small square covered box on the Driver's side near the rear storage compartment. It has a cover that opens up. I'm sure you have something similar somewhere.

Freedom Elite 23H cable hookup location

The cable connection for the TV is in the power cord storage bin on the driver side. There is a co-axial cable connector located there just screw the connector for the external cable in there. You can plug the other end of the cable into the tv box at the rv site

Welcome teammills.

Owner's manual ? Surely you jest...even when new they don't come with an owner's manual; its more like a pamphlet.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Even when I knew it was probably there, it still took me a minute to find it. It's inside the power cord storage bin on the top back part of it. It's hidden pretty well and I'm not sure I would have ever noticed it without bending over and really taking a close look.

Thanks!
