Directv for travel trailer ADVERTS
We just bought a fifth wheel travel trailer. We are directv residential customers and want to be able to get same while we are out camping. Will Directv install a dish on a tripod for us? We don't want one that mounts on the camper. Can we buy our own dish and borrow a receiver from our home to use while traveling?

let me clarify
I want to clarify that I don't plan to steal service. If we have to create a new account with directv that's fine. What I want to know is how to get a dish on a tripod that is mobile.

Welcome to SatelliteGuys!
I returned a week ago from 5 days of camping using one of my Directv receivers, you can get a tripod from Radio Shack that will work and can get a dish from one of our Gold Sponsors (at the top of the page) or e-bay that will work, will you be taking an HD Receiver?C-Band FAQ's, The List, SatelliteGuys Cutting Edge, Home Theater Equipment, Primetime,

may we see whats included in your tailgating kit just to be sure you actually need everything? dont want you buying what you dont need. also is highdef required for your camper? because directv will not come out to peak a tripod for you while camping... if you find a tech close to the area, he may for like 20 dollars or so just to cover gas, but the sd dish (18x20) will pick up a select few hd channels and is relatively simple to align for a first timer, and a simple process nonetheless otherwise.

I have HD in my Motorhome. I bought a surveyors tripod and mounted a SWM-3 with a slimline dish on the tripod. I can get it aligned and ready to go in about 15 minutes. Signal in high 80's to high 90's on 99,101 and 103. What I did was buy a new R-22 downloaded the software to make it HD and put it in the Motorhome. I don't move it to the house, just pay the $5 every month.

Whatever hardware you get - plan to set it up in your driveway before you take it RVing. Much easier to practice there and to make sure everything works.
