Thank you all for the replies. Where I'm confused is that the waiver paperwork said that if I was using a receiver from my home I would need to setup a separate account. I certainly don't need a new account for an occasional week or 2 out camping. I understand that Dish Network has a pay-as-you-go service that allows you to buy only what you need a month at a time. Why can't Direct TV get with the program?

You only need 2 accounts if you want local Network programming on your home receivers at the same time that you will be using DNS Networks in your RV. Dish pay as you go would also have you paying for 2 services if you want to accomplish the same thing and if you keep DirecTV at home and use Dish pay as you go while on the road you are still paying for 2 services.
If you just want to move your receiver into the RV for a couple of weeks you can have all of your receivers set to receive DNS while gone or you can just not worry too much about the Networks via satellite and do nothing. If you travel outside your area you can use the OTA antenna and if you don't you will still get your locals (assuming you have an antenna capable of doing so).
