So just inside the trailer the cable is around 30 feet long. I didn't look but assume there is also a splitter like others have posted, that reduces the workable length even farther.
I just put a thru the wall jack right behind the tv and now I can use my 50 ft. cable. Works great.

Actually the length of coax you can use is determined by which dish you use. I use a Dish Network 1000.2 with an Eastern Arc Hybrid LNB and several times have needed to use 110' of coax not including the run from the convenience center to the actual TV in the rear of our 41' Montana. As you said it's not likely this can be done with a closed dome dish of any kind.
