I have a HD44 receiver and move it to the RV when we travel. You could take yours or the Genie 2. The Genie 2 is more involved to move because you have to move the server and the client. Both require a SWM capable dish and you'll have to check to make sure that the RV dish is 4K capable if you plan to take the Genie 2.
I have a RF Mogul automated dish which is SWM and it works great with the HR44. All of the recorded shows move with the HR44. Or you can buy, setup and aim a portable dish but again it must be SWM capable.
Now what will DTV say about 2 receivers at different location - your in violation of the contract. Hint take the HR44 and the Genie 2. Or you can have a second DTV account for the RV - Many posts on this subject.
Are you aware that once the RV leaves the local area you will no longer get your local stations - ie ABC, NBC, etc? Or any locals? And then once you change your service address to the RV location you get their locals and IF there is a receiver at home it will no longer get the local stations. ie When you change locals the account changes for all receivers. ie Once you drive across the country getting locals Grandma at home will get error messages.
