If you are starting from scratch, there are a few options to consider. I would also check to see if there are any channels in the various packages that are "must haves" like some sports networks. There is a good comparison tool at http://www.satellitetv-deal.com/directv-vs-dish-channels.html that shows the differences between DirecTV and Dish.
We have had both. Since we currently have DirecTV at home, we are using DirecTV on the road. We also have a dome that allows us to switch between providers (the Winegard Carryout G2+) but as others have said, DirecTV does not have HD channels using a dome antenna. Since Dish has Pay-as-you-go we can always change the antenna settings and change out receivers to watch Dish if we choose. We are big sports fans and like to watch our teams when possible.
Our dome is mounted on the roof of our MH, many prefer the portability of some domes to be able to use them even when parked in the shade of trees. Again, how much do you want to watch TV?
We also have streaming services such as AppleTV and Roku with our unlimited wireless plan, so there are lots of options.
Lots of options and food for thought.
