We have the Winegard Travler and love it. If you buy the Travler for Dish, it's less expensive. We had a KVH dome when we first bought the coach and had occasional issues with trees and rain. The open dish Travler shoots well through trees if they're not to thick or too close.
Personally, I think DirecTv offers more choices and I don't know how much longer Dish will stay afloat. I beleive if you buy the Travler for Dish, it can be upgraded to DirecTv at a later date. We eventually dumped cable at our house and went with DirecTv. We were tired of paying two bills and it made life easier. Everything was the same from home to RV, including the DVR.
If you go with the Winegard Travler, make sure you call Winegard first and see what receiver is compatible from Dish.
