With the DPP Separator, you only need 1 cable going from the LNB to the 722 / 222 separator.
For 250 feet - you may want to consider using RG11 instead of just RG6 cable for most of the length. Using the RG6 inside the camper would be fine.
And yes - if you are carrying a receiver between the sites, you have to do a Check switch when you change the dish setup. Menu, 6, 1, 1 then choose "Check Switch". No external switches are required.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure I can shorten the distance. I just bought a western arc dish from an installer. He filled me in on everything. Thanks to everybody for the Help.
