What's the cheapest setup for an RV I'll be renting for two weeks. There are two TV's and I don't know how the wiring in the camper is set up. One RV is inside and the other outside.

SWM dish/Coax/ HR24

I've done this several times when renting one in a designated park we were staying at.

I've always brought my own equipment with me ... already working recvr from home, extra dish and coax.

In your case, if you use the SWM set up and 2 recvrs , you'll want the Power Inserter to power the LNB (Non SWM set up, doesn't require the PI.
Also a splitter for the 2 recvrs.

I don't have sat at home. I'm doing this all from scratch.

Don't forget non-SWM setups require a B-Band Converter.

Welcome friend...

I know you said cheapest. This is probably easiest. Also, no contract. You can look locally for used gear to save money. I have used both the winegard pathway x2 and a tailgater.


Cheapest over all: get a dish locally. new wally receiver is $50. Activate. ( I see dish DPP on ebay for $75 and $50 wally another $48 to activate 30 days service)

Last week a tailgater gen 1 and vip211k closed on ebay for $99. Smoking deal. TV in your tent for less than $100. Anyway keep an eye on ebay if you have the time before trip.
