We have a Jayco 31BHS TT that had Dish Network installed by a "professional". We have canceled the Dish. When I went to hook up the TV again I noticed that they removed the booster plug and used the trailers coaixal wiring for the Dish Network. I pulled off there cover plate and took off there connector, but now I am lost as to how to rehookup the roof top antena and booster. There are three coaixal cabels into the opening. One has red tape on it the others are unmarked. There are two TV locations so I assume one comes from the outdoor cable connection, one from the antena, and one to the 2nd tv. Any suggestions on how to hook them up?

Just try connecting each Cable until You Find the correct One!
There is very little danger of causing a problem to the TV Set!
If You start with a Known ( Cable) Signal it will make tracing that cable very simple. Then Turn on Both TV Sets , It should be it easy to figure out which is the Bedroom Wire, then the Front ! That will just leave the Antennae signal! The Booster is usually controlled by a simple On ~Off switch on the Box! I Usually use a few of those little cable to cable connectors to join the ends together. Or You can use a Splitter!
Hope this helps!

On the booster the three coax are in from antenna-in from outside cable connection and out to TV. If you have two TV's there will be a splitter in the out to TV coax. If you look at the circuit board for the booster the connections are identified.

This is the way mine with a red taped cable was connected.
If you take the wallplate out you can see three connectors. If you hold the wallplate with the cables going down, the one on the right goes to the TV set (maybe through a splitter). The one in the middle goes to the red taped cable input which comes from the service bay. The one on the left to the rooftop batwing antenna.
