301/311 have been basic reliable standard receivers. They come cheap on eBay. With the coming changes to MPEG4 I would suggest VIP211 for about $100 to future proof the purchase.

HI, you did not mention if you have HD on your home account or if you have a HD TV for the RV. If so be aware that you can use the Dish 500 for HD by re-setting the skew and pointing at 119/129 or 61.5/72.7. That would get you just about everything other then your locals and you might not stay in the footprint for the locals when you take the RV out so I might not matter.

The 211 would be a good choice.

Later, DC

If you want seperate veiwing on two TVs you might wat to consider a VIP222.
