We also have Dish at home and the Tailgater and receiver in the RV for $7/mo. Have had it several years. Works great, .... most of the time. On rare occasion it will have a problem finding the sats. May take 2-3 tries but eventually finds them. Have traveled out of our home area multiple times and called Dish, told them we are in the RV, need to change our service address, give an address of our current location, tell them billing address does not change, and after a few minutes we get local network channels of the nearest large city.
Probably the biggest problem people encounter is the wiring in the RV from the outside connection to the inside connection. Difficulty determining which connection is which. Bad connections on the internal coax connector(s). No direct connection from an external connector to an internal connector. Just some of the potential problems you may encounter. If all else fails, run your coax directly from the Tailgater to the receiver bypassing the RV wiring to make sure it is working.
