DSS=dish

Put a dish box there maybe.
Or maybe a TV

It is pre-wired for a satelite dish...kinda. On any new system you would need two of those coax cables. Easy to add.

There may be a spot on the roof marked with where the opposite end is.

If its a standard coaxial it's a dish. (pin in the middle screw on outside)


4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

bo57Ford....If you remove the first overhead flourescent light behind the driver's seat, you'll probably find the other end of the cable marked DSS (Digital Satelite Service). There is also a 12 volt wire that runs with it. The 12 volt wire is to power a dome type satelite. Yours is probably gone, but Monaco also put a decal on the roof where the cable was located so you could add a dome at that spot.

The coacx marked cable runs to your power uttility bay. It allows you to connect a TV cable provided by an RV park at their power pole. You also have a satelite connection in the same utility bay.

Don's post is nearly correct.......the OPs coach is a 2001 and I don't believe Monaco put the satellite connection in the utility bay. Don't want to OP looking for something that's not there....Dennis
