Went up on our 391RKF 5th wheel, 2022 model roof today to finish up installing our Haloview camera system. First time up there, and I found a few connections that stumped me. Think I figured it out, but want a bit more input please. Also, in the front compartment where a Gen set would be installed I found several wires ending in a connection/plug.
Found this wire set in the Generator bay up front. Has anyone used this to wire up a portable generator? We don't want a full size built in genset. cost, fuel (propane) are the issues, so we will go with a portable but hoping we can plug the portable into the 5th wheel some how, so would these wires help us any?
The LCI WiFi antenna prep. If I remove this "fake" antenna, I'll find the wires needed to install the real one correct? We're going to install the Winegard ConnecT 2.0 instead so we can use our Verizon sim card from a jet pack. Does anyone know if there are 12v wires under that LCI WiFi prep plate?
Image below I assume is for a satellite setup if I mount a dish up there I can just plug into these coax connection, correct?
Next.
I assume this is for solar panels to plug into. If so, do I need a certain type/brand? Who sells the connections for this? Thank you for any answers/help.

As far as wiring the generator, that looks like wiring for an Onan, so somewhere inside there is the other end waiting to be plugged into an Onan switch panel
I haven't dealt with the LCI WiFi, so hopefully someone here will share their experience.
Yes, you "should" be able to connect a dish into that plug...but based on everyone's experience with KZ coax, test the cable before you install the dish up there.
As far as the solar plug, I don't know what Mfg / model plug that is, again, someone here has probably knows. But 2/4 isn't all that bad.

In the second pic of you holding the plug you will see a standard type square 120v box in the background, I cut a short heavy duty extension cord & ran it into that box, plugged the male end into a smaller generator to supply 120v to the trailer. The plug in your hand is the connections for electric start etc if you had purchased the optional genny, my trailer also has the genny control panel inside.
The roof solar plugs look like normal solar plugs (one male one female) but with a protective blank end you would remove to plug panels in.
Can't help with dish connections.

To amend my post a bit about the WiFi. Inside, in the bedroom behind the TV, this plate was up near where the plugs and coax are. It says "Wired for WiFi King Connect". Took that plate off, and saw no wires. Do I need to drill a bigger hole to find the wires? |

Dig around in the hole with your finger/s. The end of the cable is laying around in the vicinity. It wasn't hard to find in my 2021 381 REF.
