I had Directv installed for my 5th wheel while snowbirding in Arizona 4 years ago. They supplied all the necessary SWM equipment. It required a 2 year contract, which has since run out, but I continue to use the service. I did purchase a tripod to use while on the road. While travelling, I can call them with a change of service address request to get local stations, if I want. While in my home state I can get local stations in 80% of the state. So I'm confused as to why you need to purchase equipment. If you want home service, use the equipment you have or visa versa.
