You take your 50 foot tv cable, you do have one, right, and plug one end into the cable outlet and the other into your coach cable inlet.

Agreed - need the make and year. It's not a dumb question. The factory "forgot" to put the exterior cable hookup on my 2017 Hurricane 35M! The exterior cable hookup was eventually put in under warranty.

Are you asking about the park's cable outlet or the outlets in your coach? Others here have dealt with answers about your coach, but if you are asking about the park's cable outlet, it is usually on the same post with the power box. If the park says they have cable, just look around that area for a coax connector. Most that I have seen are not labeled, but it should be the only coax connector there. Once you get hooked up, though, don't expect great results. Just be pleasantly surprised if the signal quality is good. On our last trip out, we were in a park with cable TV and when we hooked up in mid-afternoon, the cable was very clear and I was excited because I wanted to watch March Madness that night. Apparently, there were a lot of basketball fans camping there - about 15 minutes before tipoff, the station the game was on got so snowy you could barely watch it. After the game ended, the station got much better again.

Your site may have a cable outlet like #1.

Your coach should have a cable inlet like #2 on the outside drivers side.

Inside your coach somewhere, you should have something like one of these #3. It controls power to your TV antenna and should be OFF when watching cable and ON when watching Over the Air (OTA) TV.

On each of your TVs, you need to go to the menu and setup what type of TV you're watching (Over the air or cable). Turn off the TV amp for cable and on for OTA. Do a channel search and then enjoy TV.
