I'm not sure if you're saying that the SWM antenna installation for an RV is expensive or if you're trying to say that the Genie version for an RV is expensive.
In either case, your answer is misleading. The Winegard Trav'ler SWM replaced the Trav'ler SK-3005 and I don't think the price is all that much more. The older SK-3005 can be converted to SWM with the addition of an SWM8 switch and a PI-29 power inserter; you can buy both on Amazon for less than $75 total.
The current version of the Genie is the HR44 and DirecTV will provide it for free to current HD DVR customers who wish to upgrade and don't have contractual obligations. We got the HR44 and the SWM conversion of our Trav'ler for no money out of pocket.
