beachlovingmom,
The antenna on the trailer will receive digital TV signals. I have a 2002 Wilderness Yukon and that old antenna works just fine. Do not know if a "digital antenna" will provide you with anymore channels.
As for directtv. Yes you can take your box from your house and use it with a seperate dish. First I would suggest you get your model number of the box you will take and go to the directtv forum and ask them what dish and LNB combo you can use with it. Remember if you want HD while camping then you will need an HD dish.
I have taken our satelite several times now and I can setup relatively quickly. Educate yourself by doing your reseach and then practice dialing it in at home before you take it with you.
