Thor Tuscany 42FK Antenna Amplifier

Does anyone know where the Antenna Amplifier is located on this coach? We have looked in every cabinet nook and cranny on this coach, and have found nothing. Maybe there is not one? We cannot pull in cable at RV resort. TIA

probably depends on the YEAR model of you coach, which you didn't disclose, but they 'normally' are integrated within the BOMB(box of many buttons) in the entertainment center/cabinet...

if the BOMB is 'OFF' and the TVs selections are set to 'CABLE', and you then change the INPUT of the TV to Cable, and then run a Cable Channel SCAN, you should then see them.

The only reason to turn the BOMB 'ON' is if you are wanting to watch thru the ANTENNA, which provides the 12v 'boost' to it's signal.

ours is a 2012 and there is nothing that I can see that is the BOMB

It looks like the top left picture in the top left of your cabinet the light that’s on is your antenna booster, cut that off by pushing the button, then you will be able to receive cable channels, otherwise the green button being on will interfere with that signal

Agee, I see the switch in the last picture just above the radio. The push button switch and light is behind the coax connector on the coax panel. There is also a green light there also indicating the antenna amplifier is on. You may need a mirror to see everything.

Yes, that was the amplifier button. Sorry for not posting sooner. We are enjoying cable now. Thank you!
