External Antenna to Cable Connector
I am currently parked under a metal RV carport which killed my rooftop antenna. I have a mast mounted outdoor antenna which I want to use. The problem is that my trailer only has a "Cable" connector...

The problem you are going to run into is the antenna panel in your RV wants to send +12VDC up to your outdoor antenna built-in PREAMPLIFIER. The splitter in the CABLE TV LOOP will prevent this from happening.
If you can get around this problem it should work just fine.
I would setup another BAT WING or maybe one of those JACK Antennas at your house and once you manually point it correctly it will work great.
I was able to re-do my SAT SIDE of the two external cable connectors to be a straight thru connection all the way back to the antenna panel bypassing any splitters etc...
You can also generally get into the trailer parked under the metal roof pretty easy going through the basement door which has rubber seal on the edges. Other folks come down through the fridge vent.. being under the metal roof you could probably crack a window and come through the edge of that as well...
Drilling through the sides of the trailer is no big deal to mount another TV CONNECTOR but what I don't want to do is mess with the roof.
You could very easy have a RG cable connected to your TV SYSTEM coiled up laying in the basement area and run it outside when you are parked at home to connect up with your outside antenna...
You could even temporarily run this RG cable across the floors and direct connect to your TV when at home if you like...
