Dish Tailgater
We got the Dish Tailgater as an addon to our house account - $7/month.
The Dish Tailgater is quite easy to setup physically; however, sometimes it takes a while to get the receiver synced in to be able to get access to your regular channels for your account. The Dish Tailgater automatically seeks out the correct satellites in just a few minutes - no pointing the dish antenna.
We just set the Dish Tailgate antenna cube out on the ground in an open space or set it on top of the camper - whereever works best.
Be aware that you may have to rewire your coax cables in order to use the satellite signal. I did have to rewire the connections in the regular antenna amplifier/booster and change out the coax cable splitter in order for the satellite signal to be able to get to the Televisions. This has everything to do with the way your camper is wired and nothing to do with the satellite dish/signal itself.
Refer to TV4RV.com's article entitled "Rewiring Your Coach for Satellite Use".
You may have to trace out where your coax cables are run before you complete the rewire process. I did just that and labeled the coax cables in the process.
