glsponchos Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Trying to connect phone service to my 2010 Allegro Bus. I see the connection point in the wet bay, but once I plug in all the jacks are dead, in the coach. Does anyone know where the junction box is for the phone circuits, or have an idea what could be the issue ? Thanks, George Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Are you trying for a land line? That's what the bay connection is for, if your in a Park long term...you'll need to contact your phone service for a land line connection to the park, or connect to a park server, if they have that option. It has nothing to do with "over the air mobile service"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted June 22, 2017 I have never encountered it but in the past before so many cell phones you were able to plug into the parks phone system. I believe it was like motels phone but you had to provide the phone. In older coaches you might see a wall phone mounted or a Princess phone on the counted. OH those were the days.

Thanks, George George,can you plug into the jack on the pedestal with a phone to verify you have service and a dial tone? I am assuming you are somewhere you expect to have land line service. Just wondering why you need a landline. I haven't had one in about 5 years. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted June 22, 2017 Our coach has one, one of our kids saw it and asked if this was what they used for internet before wifi . I had to explain it was for phone service not a cat 5 for a computer . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glsponchos Report post Posted June 24, 2017 I'm in an area with poor cell coverage and the Wi Fi is sketchy. I've added DSL service, which also comes with a land line. It works fine at the pedestal, but the jacks are all dead once connected to coach. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the wiring/junctioning.

hermanmullins Report post Posted June 24, 2017 gls, I believe there there are two different connectors. The pedestals in older camp grounds have a phone connection (jack) not a Cat 5 connector. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayne77590 Report post Posted June 25, 2017 George, The phone jacks and the Cat 5 (internet) jacks are very different. Each of them will not fit in the others jack. The Cat 5 is wider than the phone jack. If you have a telephone cord and it plugs into the pedestal it is not a Cat 5 (Ethernet) connection. If you plug in a telephone and it does not have a dial tone then the jack is dead. DSL is another matter as the outgoing DSL cable will fit into a phone jack. The majority of DSL lines require a filter that the company you subscribe to provides. It will have a small "pig-tail" on one end and the other side will have a conection that the DSL Modem plugs into. (Some times called ADSL Filter). You can find them at Target, Wamart or other stores that carry electronic euipement. Ask your DSL Modem provider for filter model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
