QUESTION: Can he call them and ask them to set up an outside satellite dish? If so, what will it cost?. Have had trouble getting to the right person to speak with apparently.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Like said, go to a local (to the campsite) DTV retailer/installer. Buy the dish and all needed stuff. Have them set the hight and angle at the store. Then all he has to do is set the left and right.
Thats what they did for me for my seasonal site. I literally had signal within 1 min.
BTW I bought new dish and it was under $150

Your Dish network triple LNB dish will not work for DirecTV reception.
Oh! yea! I didn't catch that... to much brain energy at work today I suppose. Should have seen "Direct"... sorry. Well, I still have it if someone want's it.

DirecTV DOES have their own installers. They use contracters a lot but they do have full time installers. You can request them and they are way better than the contractors.

I have not done this but I have seen many who had Direc Come out and install a dish.. NOTE: DirecTV does not actually have any installers.. all Installs are done by licensed contractors.. NOT direc, but "Joe's Television" or some such.
Contact a licensed contractor in the area you wish to park and ask them.
(A DirecTV dealer).
Option B:
DirecTV sells a "Disaster Recovery Kit" consists of a Dish, LNB, Tripod and coax.. Almost everything you need
(you need a way to get the coax to the receiver)
If you are comfortable running cable. GO-4-IT
I have looked before and cannot find a "disaster recovery kit" on the Directv website. Where are you finding this? Link?

The dome is probably not made or sold by Direct so they cannot/willnot work on it. He needs to find an independent service guy to come and check it out. If he knows its dead then for around 150 dollars he can buy a complete dish tripod package.
From recent experience even if he has a service contract Direct will not work on an RV.
