We couldn't get the cable to work last night and I think its because we have the wrong cable.
Anybody know quickly what type of cable you need to have to plug into the cable tv thingie at the site? And is it something they sell at walmart?

From the pedestal at the campsite to your RV is a Coax Cable RG-59 or preferably RG-6. It's better to use a screw on type connecter vs. a slip on connector.
The cable connections at campsites frequently have problems so it may be a bad connection at the pedestal instaed of something wrong on your end.

You probably know this but just in case - you have to go into the TV menu and set it to cable input, also the Winegard bat wing amplifier has to be turned off. It acts as an A/B switch between the bat wing and the cable input.
