I believe that HDMI can support runs of ~50 feet before you start to need repeaters. Remember this is a digital signal so many of the concerns about cable length are no longer as important. Ethernet (CAT5/6) can go >300 feet (the standard calls for 100 meters).
And BTW, with DirecTV's new wireless miniGenie (C41) you can now watch HD TV anywhere in your MH with absolutely no cables needed. All you need is a Genie DV (HR44). The mini's are still in short supply, but you can easily be ready for next summer's RV season. That plus a second DVD player would be a lot less effort than running all that cable.
