Dish Tailgater
I have had a dish tailgater for a while now. Sometimes I can be sitting in the same location and it may take only 1 time to find all the satellites and sometimes it will take 5 or 6 times of re scan...

Do you have the situation that Hawkpat described ? This could very well be your problem. Are you connecting to the 'sat in' connection on the outside of your trailer ? These portable units do not like to have any splitters, switches, etc anywhere in their cable runs inside your RV.
If you run the cable from your Tailgater through a window opening, connect the cable directly to the receiver box and the issue goes away, then you have found the problem.
I ran a cable from my storage bay to the receiver and hook into the connection box. I tried hooking directly into the receiver with no luck
I'm going to get a new quad shield cable and try that. Thanks
yes,originally I ran a permanent coax from the receiver to a connection box in the compartment then ran a coax from the box to the tailgater and it worked but at times had a hard time locating all 3 satellite's. to experiment, I ran the coax from the tailgater through the window to the receiver still have problems finding all 3 at times. I am getting a new coax cable and try it again. thanks
Not quite sure what you said. Did you run a cable from the Tailgater through a window and then DIRECTLY to the receiver box ? This is the test.
Do not hook to anything in your storage bay, etc. Run one cable - from your Tailgater and then plug directly into the receiver box. Then see if things improve.
