I can call the factory though. Anyhow, I really have to use the existing coach coax unless I completely redesign everything.

NO. The Jack antenna can use the OE Wingard 12 VDC booster OR, yes you can remove the Wingard booster and use the Jack 12 DC booster.
We are running our TV on the Wingard booster with Jack antenna-- works just fine.
Hopefully someone more A/V friendly than I will respond, but in the back of my mind, I recall checking for 12 VDC between coaxial center and jacket up on the roof (from either the Wingard or Jack booster).
And, at least on most Foretravels, the Wingard booster is UNDER the back right closet false-floor. There is an inline fuse in/on the Wingard unit.
