Really?.well I am learning. .what not to do. ..the hard way now that I Have all new stuff

Actually, having all the new stuff makes it easier in the long run , now everything you have from this point forward will run on the SWM set up.

I am using SWM at home, but Non SWM in the Motor Home. So I have a variety of things to look at if I have issues at all.

I used to use a 18" dish with just the 101 LNB for camping, but had such a tough time changing the receiver (H24) in and out of SWM that I eventually switched to a 20" dish with a SWM3 LNB. I don't necessarily need HD while camping, the trailer only has a 20" TV, but the receiver plays a lot nicer that way, even if I don't peak in great signals on the 99/103 satellite. Aiming for 101 is about the same as it is on the basic 18" dish.

My H24 is a full time receiver in my travel trailer. We camp in it enough to just leave it there...the wifey and I will stay right in the driveway sometimes in the winter....have a little alone time?.

You could get a SWM8 or 16 switch and use your legacy Lnb. Then all your changing is the dish type

I could use my 18" dish and lnb with a swm8 or 16 ?

Where you would run feed into the swm8 cause doesn't have to have 13v on 101 and 18v on 101 plus a signal from 99 and 103?

The SWM8 works fine with the 18in dish, just connect the 13v and 18v 101 cables, you don't need 99 and 103.
