After seeing CountryGuy's setup, we went out and bought a Dish Tailgater and signed up for the RV Pay as you Go. We pay for a month at a time. If we don't want the service next month, we don't pay anything. When we want to restart it, we call or go online and restart it with no additional setup charge, just the monthly programming charge. We can call and give them our new physical address and the beam then includes the correct time and programming for our location. And we can add the local channels for that physical address for $4.67/month additional. The local channels we can add only when we want them and not pay for when we don't.
My understanding is the pay as you go is available not just with the tailgater but you'd have to check the dish website for specifics. I suppose if you have a home system you want to maintain, then Illini Trekker's method might be best. If you do not, then consider the rv pay as you go.
