The trailer has RG6 coax Dish use RG8 coax to get the signal from the dish to the satellite box. That's why you have to run a separate feed through the window. I made mine permanent by finding a means to run the RG8 cable into the RV from the compartment my electrical cord comes out of. I was bale to feed the cable over to where the main TV and sat box sit. Now I just wind up the cable and store it inside the compartment for travel.
Some Dish Sat boxes are setup to feed two tvs. If you don't have one of those you can split the signal coming out of the box (TV out) and run a separate coax up to the other tvs or feed the TV out to your " plug on the side wear I attach the cable to for my TV signal" this will put the sat box signal onto all three TV connections...same channel will show on all 3 TVs.
If you want to see different channels on each tv you will need a dish antenna that provides multiple feeds and a sat box for each tv or "Hopper" box.
Why would you use RG8 instead of RG6 from the dish to the receiver? I use RG6 with no problems.
