Q: I keep blowing the fuse for lights over the sink, refrigerator and hall light. I installed a new fuse, but when the lights come on the fuse blows.

A: A multistep approach is best as your problem may be caused by several issues. 
First, replace the fuse. Does it blow if nothing is turned on? If it does, there is a short in that circuit. Next, turn on one item at a time to see if one individual item is at fault. Turn off the item if the fuse does not blow. After testing each light individually, turn them all on. If the fuse blows, the circuit is overloaded. Consider whether something else has been added to that circuit, such as another light. Never increase fuse size to cure the problem!

Q: How do I get my tripod satellite signal to go through the installed cable outlet on my RV? I have tried to connect to my outside cable connection and cannot get a signal.

A: The best thing to do is run another cable for your portable satellite dish. If you use the park cable you will lose your ability to connect to cable TV at the campsite. Be aware that with the voltage needed to operate the satellite dish, it is not advisable to use an 
A/B switch.
