I would just bring a good working FLAT SCREEN TV from the house out to the trailer and see how it works... Or maybe better yet take one of the TVs from the trailer to the house and plug it in... The BEDROOM TV is usually sitting on a small fold down shelf. Should be easy to remove to another location.
This isn't suppose to this hard to figure out what is happening...
When the NATL BROADCAST changed over to digital TV signals way back then I gathered up all of my old heavy tube type ANALOG TV's and took them to the local dump here... When you use the converter box it will make the very nice watchable HIGH DEF TV Signal back like the old ANALOG TV signal. Can't think of a good reason to do that haha...
Watching HDTV is pretty nice quality here now. It either works very great or not at all... The days of snowy TV are long gone... You have to point the OTA outside antenna pretty close to the direction of the Digital TV town that is transmitting the ANTENNA TV Signal. We pick up all of the Washington DC ANTENNA TV signals just fine here in King George with our BATWING antenna which has the DIPOLEs on it and we are a good 60 miles away from DC. The BATWING Antenna is hard to beat for picking up the new digital TV signals...
Our BATWING looks like this... Point the DIPOLES toward the town with the HDTV transmitter like shown here..

If you have the older BATWING without the added DIPOLES it will work also but not as good as the model that has DIPOLES.

This is us watching High Def Digital TV way back in the woods with our OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer setup. We get good quality digital TV signals just about everywhere we go on our less than $200 24-inch WALMART VIZIO HDTV Flat screen TV set...
Like said above this isn't suppose to be hard to do haha... Keep plugging away at it I guess.
