yes, every RV has a 'switch', though it may not be the type of switch you are thinking of....it's usually a simple outlet mounted on the wall, or at the rear of a cabinet, which has a small 'push button'. The plate cover looks like a typical wall outlet, except it may have both a 12v round outlet, and a small push button.
The push button tells the RV that you want to use the roof Antenna, for local channels.
When wanting Cable tv from the rv park or campground, make sure the push button is OFF, as this 'booster' button is not needed for it.
For Cable, you should be attaching your Coax cable from the park's outlet, to your RV's input, usually in the wet bay.

Do you have a 'entertainment' box, or 'box of many buttons'? Probably. It allows you to tell how each TV is receiving it's signal. These are usually in an upper cabinet, above the living room TV, or seating area, etc. This box may replace the aforementioned push button type setup, but it serves the same purpose. If you have the box 'ON', then it's boosting the antenna signal, otherwise, it does NOT need to be on, but only the buttons to direct each signal to the TVs.
