I know, I know, this is totally a glamper move but I want to run cable in my trailer for cable hookups at RV parks. I've never been camping in an RV before so I'm not sure how the hookups work--do I just need to install a coax outlet in my trailer, run the wire to the outside outlet (I'm installing it on the hole for the water inlet--which I am relocating) and that's it? Will I need another cable once I start camping to connect to the RV park system?

I've never seen a cable hook up at a park? do they have them? I'm sure that would be an extra fee.
if so then yeah, just a cable hookup like in your home.

Yes, you will need a coax cable to go from the trailer to the campground hook up, if they have one. I think this type of service will be going by the wayside in the future. Most folks want wireless internet.

We used to carry 50 feet of white coax with us. I would even carry a "Y" splitter in case the closest hookup was already taken.
Vikx is right on.
Last trip 5 years ago, we just took laptops! LOL
If they have cable service, usually you can sign out or rent cable at the campground too.

Almost all the campgrounds I see that advertise full hookups say they have cable too. They seem to have cable more often than they have Internet. It may NOT be that common but I figure as long as I have the place for an outlet (along with a teenager) I can't go wrong. Lol.
