Got it. You wouldn’t be able to set up one of your satellite receivers from your house because the local channels will no longer be viewable once you leave the ‘spot beam’ of the coverage of that local channel market.
Therefore, your one option is purchasing a streaming device with Location Services (Apple TV for example) and downloading the DIRECTV app on there. Then, put in your directv satellite email and password and you should be able to stream the necessary local channels for the area you are currently located in. As a note, this streaming route requires that the streaming device have a constant reliable Wi-Fi connection. Otherwise, you may experience lag and poor quality.
Second, you can also purchase an OTA (over the air) antenna and aim it toward the towers of the local TV stations. The antenna gets plugged into the TV’s antenna port and you have to scan for Digital (DTV) channels when you do this.
Once upon a time DirecTV offered a "Travelers Package" for folks that RV to receive the NY or LA local stations, but I don't think they offer that anymore. Most RV'ers find that Dish Network is much more RV-friendly. Or they use a hotspot or Starlink to access streaming services.

An OTA antenna connected to your digital TV. DTV can no longer provide local channels to RVers once they are outside their local channels spot beam.
