I own an old 522 DVR.
Is there a way to connect it to the Duo Node along with my 2 Hoppers and one Joey?

You would need a switch before the node an then run a line from that switch to the 522, but the issue is that Dish won't allow you to have the 522 on the same account as the Hopper. There isn't a way to connect the 522 to the node and get that to work. In order to have a 522 working on the same install, you would also need to have the 522 on a second seperate account.
I was speaking to Dish RV Support tonight, he told my that Dish will now allow VIP units on Hopper accounts.
RV and Tailgater accounts are permitted VIP 211s to be on the same account as a Hopper but no others.
Get it in writing in a chat. Even that won't be worth much. Such a major policy reversal I would expect to be accompanied by a blaring of trumpets from the heavens and announced in a deep deep voice heard throughout the land.
I hope you're referring to what was told in post #3 and not me. My post is in reference to ALL ViPs being allowed - NOT.
OK, let's beat this to death. ViP211 or ViP211K, owned, are all that's allowed.
The presumption is that you will use the ViP211 series for tailgating, possibly with a Tailgater antenna. And so you can use it at home, too. We don't know for a fact that this use is "required" and I personally doubt that it is, but just to be safe don't mention tailgating or any lack thereof.

I am fully aware of that. The CSR told my that this had just changed and asked for R # and S#, which I did not have handy. He was ready to activate the unit.
By all means, let us pursue this. Let us know what happens if you decide to try it.
I would recommend starting a chat session and speak with one of the chat agents instead. That policy has not changed and it sounds like the CSR just gave you wrong info.
A 411 is considered to be the same as a 211 so I would think it would be allowed. It is probably not noted since it was only manufactured for a very short period of time.
What about a 411k?
But actually, non Hopper receivers will work on nodes, The ones I tried just saw a 1000.2
