What’s the cheapest setup for an RV I’ll be renting for two weeks. There are two TV’s and I don’t know how the wiring in the camper is set up. One RV is inside and the other outside.

to Satelliteguys Michael Bauker!We have several RV owners here, I'm sure one will post soon enough.
SWM dish/Coax/ HR24
I've done this several times when renting one in a designated park we were staying at.
I've always brought my own equipment with me ... already working recvr from home, extra dish and coax.
In your case, if you use the SWM set up and 2 recvrs , you'll want the Power Inserter to power the LNB (Non SWM set up, doesn't require the PI.
Also a splitter for the 2 recvrs.

If so, how do you plan on getting the equipment needed ?
You can buy the dish and the PI and splitter, but you can't buy the recvrs and activate them ...
It isn’t possible to by a used receiver and get a new card to activate something prepaid for a couple weeks?
Welcome friend...
I know you said cheapest. This is probably easiest. Also, no contract. You can look locally for used gear to save money. I have used both the winegard pathway x2 and a tailgater.

Cheapest over all: get a dish locally. new wally receiver is $50. Activate. ( I see dish DPP on ebay for $75 and $50 wally another $48 to activate 30 days service)

Last week a tailgater gen 1 and vip211k closed on ebay for $99. Smoking deal. TV in your tent for less than $100. Anyway keep an eye on ebay if you have the time before trip.
No.
Your on the 2 year deal the second you activate your account.
Lots of people just get Directv at their main home and then take a receiver for use in the RV
