Your receiver needs to be told what kind of dish it is connected to. Since it is a SWM-only receiver that answers one of the two questions in the setup menu--the question that asks for "switch type." Your new Trav'ler will, no doubt, be the current SWM model. So all you have to do is set the antenna type and that will depend on what you have at home. Bill Adams will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the SWM Trav'ler uses a SWM3 LNB so that would be the correct setting for use in your MH.
At home you could have any of a couple of dishes but you can look at the settings and write them down before you change anything. Just go into Menu/Settings and Help/Settings/Satellite settings. You will have to push the "-" (the dash) button to enter the satellite settings screens. Once you get in you will see the two drop-downs for antenna type and switch type. The switch type will be grayed out because the HR44 is SWM-only. If your home dish is also a SWM3 then you would not have to go through the settings when you moved the receiver since it would be the same in both locations.
