Does anyone know for sure if the trav'ler will support a dish hopper?
Does the required "solo node" switch mount outside or inside?
The Dish Trav'ler (SK-1000) does support the Hopper and Joey combination. You can install the Solo Node either inside or out. Just base it's location upon where you will be running your cables that leave the Solo Node.
I would NOT suggest placing a Solo (or Duo) Node on the roof because it limits future upgrades.

A Winegard Traveler can support two Hoppers using a Duo Node that is connected to the 3 sat outputs (A, B, and C).
While you might not plan on installing two Hoppers, running those 3 cables inside your RV gives you that option.
