Continuity problem with coax
The coax cable has a continuity problem somewhere between the connection on the side of the trailer, and the end that is to connect inside. We have had intermittent issues when trying to connect to ca...

The impedance must match the impedance of the devices being connected. RG8 is used a lot in communication equipment such as 2-way radio, ham and CB. Most TV stuff is 75 ohms. TV antennas for RVs are usually 75 ohms. The typical home TV antenna is 300 ohms and requires a matching transformer (balun) to connect to coax.
I'm not a expert on cables but isn't the difference between RG6 and RG8 in the shielding and core conductor.
