Your easiest move is to get a non-SWM LNB for your antenna, then you won't need a power inserter. (Note that with a non-SWM LNB, you will need a B-Band Converter to receive HD channels. You can receive SD channels without it. But it does not need external power.)
The other option is to plug the power inserter into an inverter.
And, yes, the power inserter is required with a SWM LNB.
Ok, that could work. But to clarify, would I then need to use a B Band Converter and run two coaxial cables directly to the receiver and would not be able to use the cable hookup on the outside of my trailer?
If only one receiver, or a DVR but you are only using one tuner, a single coaxial cable is enough. You can use the cable to the outside as long as it passes power, but that is true if you are using the SWM also.
You only need two coaxial cables if you have a DVR and are watching one channel while recording another, or have two receivers watching different channels.
