Switching from TV (over the air) to Cable

I'm going to a campground that supposedly has cable TV available.  I know where to plug in on the outside of the RV, but not sure if I have to change anything on the inside.  My husband said I had to move the cable that comes from the TV from the antenna connection to the cable connection in the cabinet above the passenger seat. Is that correct?  Or can it be connected with another cable and just use the TV itself to switch between antenna and cable?  2019 2552.

Just turn OFF the amplifier in the cabinet to the right of the TV, it should have a green LED that's lit when the antenna amplifier is on.  Typically just a red pushbutton to turn it on and off.

You do NOT have to swap any cables around, the amplifier does that when you turn it off.

But isn't that assuming there is already a wire going from the cable input (inside the cabinet) to the TV?  Mine has no wire attached.

The wire going to the TV and the wire going to the antenna and the wire going to the cable input are ALL behind the cover of the amplifier.

The cable connector outside on the amplifier cover is used if you had a device (like a satellite receiver) that used a coax output.  That presumes you have the amplifier cover that's white and has a single coax connector on the front.

If you have the Sensar amplifier, you push the selector button until the PARK CABLE line is selected.

There are NO cables you need to switch.  Just push the button to turn the amplifier OFF and the system magically does the rest all by itself.

Thank you Don!  I'll give it a try this weekend and see what I get.

Don, just wanted to let you know that the "magic" worked just great!  Thank you so much.  I was even able to help someone else that didn't know to turn off the antenna booster.
