I also use my home DTV account for the rv. I have a Slimline3 dish and a portable stand I made from pvc. Cost was about $25 for pvc, dish was free. I scored a free 500' spool of coax and box of connectors from my DTV tech for free. I run two separate 150' cables from my dish to the inlets on my fiver. I have a box in the kids room and one in the living room.
Last week while in the Adirondacks, I went as far as to set up the dish on the roof of the fiver. The trees were a bit too dense, but I got my signal. I use an app on my Android phone called DISH Pointer Pro. It literally shows you where the satellites are on the phone screen in relation to trees obstacles, etc.
I have only been to two CG's in ten years that I couldn't get signal.
I have been able to get my local channels up to 300 miles from home.
