Antenna / booster interference

I have a Grand Reserve 26SI
Last trip we could not get any reception from the antenna (booster on) or cable (booster off). The park came out and plugged a tv directly to their cable check and it worked.
Troubleshooting after getting home reveled an issue with the antenna connection. Upon removing and opening the antenna I found corrosion. I cleaned it up and resoldered the wires. I hooked everything back up and I have perfect reception from the antenna.
On our next trip when I hooked up to the park cable the reception was terrible. I switched to the antenna and reception was good.
At the plate in the cabinet I switched the tv cable to the satellite jack and moved the connection outside to the satellite jack and got great reception from the parks cable.
Further troubleshooting, removed the plate and found the cable connections that are fed from the outside jacks and confirmed that they both have good signals. Reconnected everything and still had the same problem. Degraded signal from cable connection, prefect when using antenna, and perfect when using the satellite line connected to park cable.
It appears that either the booster or the antenna is causing the signal degradation.
Thoughts?

Antenna / booster interference

Hi, On my 2011 Cruiser RKX Every time I would hook up my cable box cable booster interfered with the signal. Worked great for the digital antenna. So I just disconnected the RG6 from the booster and used it just like hooking up at home. So one line in and used a 1 to 2 cable splitter and all cable jacks work great. Living room outside and bedroom. And I still have booster hooked up for the antenna. Good luck..
