My trailer currently has a retractable antenna on the roof for analog tv. Does it work with a digital tv?

Short answer YES. It will.
Longer answer: Back in the old days Television was transmitted on a range of frequences that were numbered channels 2 through 69 (At one time 83) Today.. Same frequencies exactly. The only difference is that where as in the old days channel 2 was, channel 2 (56MHz) today it might be transmitted on Channel 7 or even 40.. There has been a general move to UHF and VHF low all but history.
Longest answer: So your existing antenna should work but there may be room for improvement.
For example adding the Wingman Upgrade to a Winegard Sensar II or III will improve the UHF range
Replacing the wall plate with a Sensar Pro will give additional improvement plus other features you will find handy.
THe biggest difference is operator re-training, and alas, the antenna here does not matter.
