One of these will work from AMAZON... WALMART may have this item as well...
Hard to find any Radio Shacks anymore...

Just cut off the spade lugs and twist the two 300 ohm cable leadsfrom the antenna to this adapter. Best to solder them in place...
If it were me I would replace the old trailer antenna with one of the more modern WINEGARD BATWING antennas that has an built-in booster amp and use one of the WINGARD WALL PANELs to power it up... This is what most of use for Over-The-Air Digital TV reception on the RV's... This setup uses the standard RG cables...
