Satellite dish usage/install

We are thinking of purchasing a Dish system for our Class C RV. 2014 Coachmen Freelander 22QB. I think we will buy the Winegard Pathway X2 Automatic Portable Satellite. This sounds like a good one as we camp in quite a few places with trees.
My question is do I need to do anything special to the RV to use this or can I just plug it into the TV jack on the RV exterior? I know we need to use the box inside but just want to make sure this is something I can plug and play.
Thanks!
Class C

    Connect the VIP 211Z receiver to 120VAC power inside the rig. Connect a coax between the receiver and the television. Connect a coax between the receiver and the "cable" outlet inside the rig. Connect a coax between the outside cable connector on the rig, and the Winegard Pathway X2. Power up the receiver and TV. Follow the onscreen instructions on the television and in about 10 minutes, you'll have satellite television.

    Oh, and don't forget to call dish and have your receiver activated before you try to hook up.
