No, but you can buy a SWM slimline dish with a tripod/sled mount and aim it yourself or get a Winegard Travler or KVHHD11 mounted on the roof that aims themselves.

What are the models of your DirecTV boxes? Which one(s) were you planning on taking in the RV?

If it's a MINI (and NOT) a standalone -HD or HDDVR RECEIVER --it will not travel. --What is the Model Number? use your remote --menu --settings --Display --Then page down to see the model number

What are the specific MODEL numbers? That sounds like a Mini Genie Client which cannot work by itself as is not a receiver.

Model starts:

H = HD non-DVR receiver. Yes.

HR = HDDVR receiver (including Genie version). Yes.

C = Client, not receiver. No.

HR44 is the Genie receiver.

C41 are Mini Genie Clients.

So you cannot take the C41s by themselves. They are extensions (Clients) of the Genie, no tuners or recording space of their, so cannot work by themselves.

You would need to take the Genie (HR44), or replace a Client with a receiver (i.e. HR24 or H25).
