Every night when it starts recording primetime anytime I can't watch TV because of signal lose. Once primetime is over it works fine. I have a hopper and a Joey. I did check switch and both 71 and 61 come back green
 
Sounds like it is time to replace the hopper or to have a tech come out from DISH and look at your setup. It could be the node , or the hopper itself. I am betting that the hopper is bad since you say it is only happening during primetime. I would call the DISH tech department and explain to them the symptoms and see what they say it is and what needs to be done.
 
So you bring the hopper to the campground? So do you have a solo node at the campground like you do at the house? IS the setup the same at both the house and the campground? How far are you from your actual home? IF you are too far away , it could cause decreased signal on the spot beam coverage of your locals.
