Cell Booster Installation in 2022 Minnie 2529RG

Adding WeBoost Destination RV cell booster to 2022 2529RG. I see where it is possible to use the SAT port on the outside of the trailer and it works great. Does anyone know if the park cable port can be used as well? I have a Dish PRO satellite too and need that SAT port for it. Otherwise, I will use it as installation instructions state. Just didn't want to have to run cable through window or punch a hole in trailer.

I looked up the WeBoost Destination RV cell booster and was surprised to see the antenna connection is suitable for a RG-6 75ohm cable. I've owned a few other Weboost models and they always used 50ohm SMA cables. We would have loved to be able to use an existing Coax port.

The cable TV external port is routed directly to the Antenna/Cable TV splitter and that includes the TV Antenna booster amplifier. That splitter usually interferes with using the coax for anything other than cable TV.

You can however, access that splitter because it's generally behind the Antenna/Cable wall plate. You'd have to test it, but you could then disconnect the cable side of the splitter to use it for your Weboost.

Of course, you'd have to have the antenna cable direct connected to the booster if you want to use the OTA TV antenna then.

Usually, that tiny switch on the plate is what chooses between OTA Antenna and Cable TV fed from the external port.
