I havent been out this year yet but all I ever saw prior was the ANALOG signals coming from the camp ground cable connection.
You might want to check before going.
You can pick up a cheap digital TV converter box from WALMART for around $20 which will convert the digital TV signals back to "UGH" analog...
If you are close to towns a rabbit ear portable antenna sitting on top of your trailer works out pretty good. I have done this on many trips in my POPUP trailer before I got a TV POLE mounted on the side of the trailer. Now I got a BATWING antenna on the pole which works great.
You can see my side mounted antenna pole here with the bat wing antenna on it...

Hard to imagine a RV trailer does not have a roof type antenna. Though they were pretty common on all RVs...
