Bill, I have been throughout the entertainment system trying to figure out the cable TV system as it was disconnected when I purchased the coach, and there are not any Ethernet cables up there. Likewise, I have done some work in the bay where the TV cable plugs into the coach, and while I was not specifically looking, I did not see any Ethernet cables there either, but I will certainly check it again!
Being in the internet business, Cisco Systems, my guess based on the vintage of your coach is that the previous owner installed them, not the factory, as during that time period DSL and Cable internet were the options and would not require Ethernet outside the coach. Fiber to the curb, is usually when you see Ethernet outside going from coach to pole where it is converted from fiber to Ethernet. Although, as you stated "no 2 coaches are alike" so definitely possible as a factory option, I just would not expect it as a mainstream option till the last 5 years.
