7 Jun: Updated to v4 (added additional detail)
---------------------------------------------------------
One of the projects on the "To Do" list with the coroplast down was to sort out the coax cables and ensure all the connectors were correct, tight, and to draw a diagram of how the trailer was wired (GD does not have one for the 315RLTS).
Here's what I did.
1) Turn off the booster and disconnected all the cables from it.
2) Cut a spare coax cable in half, shorting the center and shield together so there was a "loop" created. Connect this test cable to the outlets in the trailer while connecting the other half of the cut cable (with a multimeter attached to the bare shield and center conductor). The multimeter was in "diode" mode so it BEEPED when there was continuity.
3) Crawled the entire length of the trailer looking for connections and/or splitters.
The cable coax was easy to identify--it was orange.
The sat and TV coax was a nightmare, as they are all a white/beige color except for one black that goes to the bedroom SAT connection. (Why?)
Note that different GD model lines use different colors for SAT and TV. (Trust me, it's confusing.) If you have a 315RLTS it might even be different from mine!
