Generally the RV trailer roofs have two antennas installed on them. One will be a BATWING OTA crank up antenna and the other one will be an AM/FM whip antenna.
The BATWING Antenna will terminal into a RG F-connector near the Television location. The AM/FM Antenna will terminate into a CAR RADIO (Motorola type) connection for your AM/FM radio setup...
Sometimes you will get an optional crank up SAT DISH on the roof.
You can see the BATWING OTA and AM/FM Whip antennas in this google photo. Some trailers come with a JACK Antenna in lieu of the BATWING CRANK type

JACK ANTENNA that just rotates - does not crank up
