I have a 2004 northernlite camper it is equiped with a clomex antenna
Will this antenna bring the signal if I get a new digital tv, if not what modifications do I have to do

The question is actually rather complex but the short answer is YES, it will and no mods needed.
Antennas do not care the type of signal, only the frequency, (Wavelength) it can be analog voice, or television, or Fax, or We-Fax (Weather Fax) or digital all of the above, Single or double sideband with or without carrier, CW (morse code) Computer data (Digital) Slow Scan TV. And more and more. The antenna does not care
Frequency however is another thing.. The Television bands start at 56 MHZ here in the US and go up to to 211 MHZ (VHF) and then the UHF starts up to 805 MHZ (orginally 890 but they took 85 MHZ away)
The higher the frequency the shorter the antenna (56 MHZ needs an antenna nearly 3 yards wide)
Now the VHF low band (56 to 87 MHZ or channels 2-6) is not much used today, With the change to Digital, which allows "Sub Channels" (two stations or two channels on one frequency or more) Many stations went to UHF, Though there are still quite a few VHF High band
Some RV antennas are designed for Primarlly VHF, They still work well at VHF,, but if your stations have moved to UHF they may need help.
What do I recommend:
Replacement with a Winegard Sensar IV and replacment of the indoor module with the Sensar PRo module You won't get better than that.
But that said, your existing antenna may well work Since it's still the same frequency bands it always has been.. Just more concentrated in UHF now.
Side note: I have a Sensar III with Wingman (ALmost a Sensar IV) with Sensar Pro.. one Digital station over 60 miles distant comes in better OTA than Over park cable... (I can do both very easily)
