Hello, there. Thinking about diversity, we love to know that DIRECTV is one of your options for your RV! Of course, all you need is a mobile receiver, a special satellite dish, and a subscription to one of our packages, and we have the following options available for you: https://www.directv.com/support/satellite/article/KM1113184. For sales info, you can call Winegard at 866-609-9374, or go to www.winegard.com. We hope to have you in our DIRECTV family soon. Have a great rest of your day! 💙 NatalyC DIRECTV Social Media Specialist

The only thing is you will not get any local channels unless you have an OTA antenna connected to your TV.

@Juniper  I don’t have direct tv at home. HOA provides cable. We currently use Dish pay as you go, and I’m so sick of their terrible customer service. So I guess my question should be Can I get Direct TV for my RV without having it at my house?

Yes, but you can only suspend the account for 6 months per year and you will need to go to an RV dealer that installs DTV as DTV only handles residential and single apt./condos.

Frankly, Dish Network is a better option for RV'ers.

Agreed. DIRECTV does not have a dedicated RV package that makes it easy for you to cancel whenever you want. Dish, however, does. And, as a note, Dish Network experienced a month long ransomware outage so that is the main reason for your customer service issues. You should wait a bit longer until you touch base with them again, they are restoring their call centers and utilities as we speak.

I have direct tv in my motor home , it is time to upgrade the equipment & it has been nothing but a nightmare with them , every time we try to make an appointment  to have the old equipment replaced the person on the phone dose not understand that the equipment is installed in a motor home , not our home we live in . equipment we have now is out of date and dose not work . turning into a billing nightmare with them .

Sadly, DirecTV does not service mobile equipment mounted on a motorhome. You'll need to hire an independent installer or do the work yourself. Note also that the only RV-mounted HiDef dish is the Winegard Trav'ler, which is rather expensive.

I have the winegard traveler installed. Boxes are approx 10 years old. Do not receive signals anymore ,was told I needed to change boxes from Direct Tv. Also wanted me to commit to a new contract.

You might have better luck dealing with a reputable DirecTV reseller, like Solid Signal. Give them a call.
