2017 Journey Satellite Operation

Can anyone tell me where to find the plate to turn on satellite antenna. I’m pretty sure they showed me when I purchased this RV, but I can’t to find it. Thanks

If you are needing the actual location of various parts, we will need to know which model of 2017 Journey you have as they comes in lots of different sizes. etc.

If you need more in depth info on where to find which parts and how to expect the coax to be run, this is the list of wiring diagrams for that year.

Looking at the tv installation diagrams is likely to be the most help for actual locations of different parts.

Hey Richard, his Profile says he has a 2017 Journey 40R. I don't think you can see that, but as the Admin I can.

Here's the link to that model's Entertainment wiring:

Also, 2017 is within a whisper of the last Journey motorhomes produced and one of the very best. The OP is a very lucky owner.

Okay, with more complete info we can get down to exact---if I am understyanding what they are looking to find?
By satalite switch, I am assuming they need to tiny little switch which we all have trouble finding that turns on /off the antenna amp or cable?/

So that looks like we can find that here.

click theser snips to get a better view!

From the electrical install drawings, I think this is what they need:

The drawings are a bit hard to spot that detail but look to be just to the left of most of the TV/video stuff:

From the parts drawings, it shows here:

And the tiny little switch that hides?

But then it is a guess and hope that is what they were asking about, so we will have to wait for results.
Maybe a totally different parts question?
It's near Easter , so why not an Easter egg hunt?
