When we bought our Winnebago this box wasn't hooked up.
We didn't receive any info on it but I'm guessing it has something to do with being able to connect the coach TVs to the Parks cable. ( yes /no )?
Also there are two sets of speakers aft of the driver & passengers seats.
One I know is for the radio but does this mysterious box also route the TVs audio through the small speakers next to the radio speaker in the pic??

I'd like to know how I go about getting ours hooked up.

Pics would be helpful!
Emails or PMs welcome !

Yes it is the cable selection box. The roof top antenna or cable will plug into it and then the output is directed to the TVs. So you are saying there is absolutely no wires connected to it at all?

No, it does not have anything to do with routing the speakers, only the TV input.

You will have to give us more information. What make and model RV, what types of TVs and where they will be placed and are you going to use it for cable, over the air or both?
 
The Winnebago "surround sound" speakers normally are switched between dash radio and front TV with a rocker switch on an overhead compartment. Mine ...as most I am familiar with ...is along the outside wall in the overhead with the TV switch box, and is easier found by feel than by sight (unless using a step stool and flashlight). And if you switch to TV, and forget to switch back to radio before hitting the road again, there will be no sound from the radio in my coach!
 
Which model Brave?  The box provides switching for Satellite, Cable, Off Air, VCR and AUX. you can pick the input for the front and rear TVs. It may contain the Off Air amplifier. All inputs and outputs ar coax Channel 3 or 4.
 
Fresh from working in that area. Yes the box is a passive source switcher for each TV. It should have a cable from the roof antenna, satellite if you have it, VCR/DVD if you have it, etc. I checked for power feeding the TV antenna and got nothing. The original TV antenna got 3 channels from Tampa. I am in the middle of the state. So I bought a new "Jack", amplified antenna and installed it. I used it's power injector for the built in amp and bingo -- 70 channels. That number counts the sub-channels like 13.3 and so on.
None of this has to do with audio. We have two switches on the dash.. one for power to the radio and the other for the source for the surround amplifier. I found the amp down by the co-pilot's legs. Up under the carpeted trim and mounted with Velcro.
Let me add.... I found the coax from the switcher to the antenna was bad. You cannot pull a new one through that wireloom. It's compressed in the roofing at the factory, so I ran a new one across the roof and along the one from our King Dome. All went well.
