We have been thinking of swapping our our two 722 DVRs for a Hopper and three joeys. So, if I understand correctly, to use the Hopper in the motor home for two TVs, all I need to do is get a solo node and connect it to the Trav'lers #1 cable and then connect the solo node to the Hopper's input. Then to get separate programming for each of the TV's I would have to dis-connect the current HDMI cable that goes to the front TV and connect that to a Joey and then connect the Joey to the TV. For the rear TV (where the Hopper will reside) I can connect directly from the Hopper to the TV.
Is this correct?

Each install is different depending on your model and sometimes year. Your Travler has an A & B output at the dish. So, you should have two dish output coax cables where they terminate near your current receiver. One is connected to one input on the solo node and the other to the second input. One output on the node goes to the Hopper the other feeds the Joeys via a splitter. You may have some problems if the coax is not up to date. Note in our install we didn't use a Joey. We are feeding all TVs from the Hopper through our digital matrix switch.
