Bob,
Since you are gutting it, you might as well replace it. The original stuff in good shape probably will work 99%, as it is the ends that are normally the issue. Rg-6 is the standard for satellite, or Cable TV, and will work with the antenna very well. Quality fitting is the whole key.
I would try to stick with a home run configuration. I would run a line to an outside access, for future/possible satellite. then make sure you have a coax run up to your antenna. then go to any TV location you might want from there. That will allow you options in the future.
One thing that gets overlooked these days with a nice flat panel TV, is almost all of them have very poor speakers. OUr coaches are small, so usually that is not a problem, but just keep that in mind, if you want some better sound, look at some sound bar options, and make sure you understand how the sound bar will connect to the TV, because there are different methods for that, and not all TV's sound bars get along as simple as they should.
there is good digital over the air programming out, but you either have to be close, or have a good antenna. The direction and the type of antenna you have that makes the difference. tuning a digital TV is a pain as well, because most want to do a "channel scan", and it will not pick up channels if your antenna is not pointed in the right direction.
There are sites too that show where channels can be picked up from:
