Dish has a Dish Mobile plan that they will force you into if they find out your removing the receiver from home.
Yes, many people, including me, do take their receivers with them in their RV's.
Having said that yes they will notice if you are using a dual tuner receiver because they require it to be connected to a phone line, (on ViP models phone or broadband). You can pay an extra fee if you don't have these options. But if it is a home receiver, and you ever get a call from the audit team, there is a location code that updates every so often based upon the DiSeq signal and visability to other receivers in your household..... OK I am losing you for certain...
Lets shorten this up and just say don't tell them... Take your receiver with you in your RV, when you get back home plug it back into your phone system, if you rented a PPV while out.... Menu-6-3-"Dial Out" to force a connection with Dish's home server. Do not force a dial out if your not connected to your registered account phone number. That would be bad.
In the old days they used to give RV waiver's.... But not anymore.
Your post has me wondering, how come I have had a single and a dual dvr in my house for about 5 years and the single has never been wired to a phone line. I recently bought a dish for the camper and we put the single dvr in there. I wondered if I should bring it back into the house but it wouldn't update anything cause there is no communication via phone line or anything else. Just have the rg6 cable straight to the dish on my garage, Is there anything I should be doing to this?

If you have a single DVR, it is a 501, 508, 510, etc.... They did not have a DVR fee from the start. I wouldn't worry about this one.
The new dual tuner DVR's, 522/625, ViP612,622/722, 722K, require a connection to a phone-line or broadband connection. If you do not connect it they will charge you an additional tuner fee. If you do not pay the no phone-line fee upfront, and you have not had your receiver connected for sometime, then I would check your bill for an additional tuner fee.
Again they really enforce this on household accounts with more dual tuner receivers. They do this as an Account Packing deterrent.

We have two accounts with Dish--we have an apartment in San Antonio and our house in Leakey,--the apartment has a dual tuner DVR 622 with NO phone line, they charge us $5 a month for no phone line. The house has two dual 622 and a single receiver with phone line hooked to two of them--no additional charge so far.
