I have a dish turbo HD dish and a DDP LNB, from my last setup when I had the VIP722s, and the RG6 3GHz cables. Is there anything else I need to setup the hopper in my RV.

Yes, you will need a solo node between the dish and the Hopper:

Sounds like you have 3G rated cable which is good. Would recommend against using your RV's pre-installed coax with the Hopper, low frequency fittings and RG-59 prewire will not like carrying 3000MHZ and 18VDC.

Do I really need the node if I'm not hooking up and joeys with the hopper in the RV. I thought that was only to relay the signals back to the joeys

The node box is a mandatory part of three tuners configuration of each h2k. Joey is different device and has no direct relation to node.

You will also need 2 coax cables if you have more than 1 satellite you are pointed towards. The Node has 2 inputs (1 and 2) for the satellite feeds. Thanks.

Wait so if you are only pointing to, say, 129*, the solo node will work with only one DPP input? Interesting...

It was explained: two coax to Solo or three coax to Duo Node is for carry three(3) or six (6) 500 MHz bands from DPP switch or LNBFs to each tuner inside of 813 or two 813s.
Using one 129W wouldn't be enough for normal functioning of DVR - its using 119W for 8 days EPG.
