Although these trailers have a satellite connection, they are not satellite friendly. Poor cabling, cheap splitters, excessive cable lengths, all degrade signals to the point of not functioning. The Pathway has a limit of about 50' and using the trailer's cabling eats up about 35' or so leaving a short run outside. That X2 will work just fine if you wire directly to the box. Installing a coax wall fitting through the side of your trailer works just fine.
