Both TVs are Samsungs. Both were bought together so same age, different sizes. The ant is a newish Jack that has a little light on it, assume indicating an amp of some sort. No LEDs in the trailer.
That leaves me with the splitter which came with the trailer. Will check connections when next on trailer, next April, & maybe find a better splitter.
How old are the TVs?
Has this been an issue when you first put the TVs in?
If this has been an issue from day one then you may have got defective or CHEAPLY BUILT TVs to start with (and yes, Samsungs are often not any better quality than other brands).
Brand names don't mean much now days since they are simply a name stamped on a chassis for marketing purposes. Samsung often has a third party manufacturer build their products like pretty much all of the other brands, in fact a good chance it is the same plant that other brand names came from.
Good chance since you have two different size/models of Samsungs they came from two DIFFERENT third party manufacturers..
If this was not a problem when the TVs were first installed and has slowly started to become a problem then you may be having issues with the TVs power supplies with filter caps going bad..
Age is important, I have seen switching power supplies fail from bad caps as soon as one year old..
