TV reception is great in every campsite except the back row.

So, I'd suggest that before you go ripping things out and do extensive troubleshooting, tow the trailer a couple miles from the current location and see if you get TV reception there.

You might have a problem with a faulty component or a bad crimp on a connector, then you may have nothing wrong "electronically" but just be in a bad reception area.
Fair enough. My trailer is literally 5 feet from my house though. That being said, I get it and will try on our next trip. It's even closer to that antenna.
