Does anybody know how to connect an antenna that supports two receivers to the connections on the outside of my RV? I know the receiver powers the antenna. What are the implications of having two receivers connected in different rooms in the RV using the factory wiring?

Need a little more information. I have a Durango and have no problem hooking up using the factory wiring. I had a Winegard Trav'ler put on when I ordered mine, but on a couple of occasions had need to use a portable dish because of tree obstruction.
Let us know which KZ product you have and we can probably help you out on that.

I have a 2014 Spree 262RKS. It has a single satellite input on the back and connections for the televisions in both the bedroom and the living room. If I connect a receiver in each room, will I be able to watch different channels in each room? Which receiver will be powering/controlling the antenna?

Not familiar with the Spree. In my "basement", I have an input for a satellite, and that can be sent to either the living room or bedroom. When you ask about with receiver is powering the dish, are you referring to the weekender? I originally had a hopper and joey, they used a totally different system that regular receivers. I have since switched to a 211K and don't have an additional receiver. However, if I did, I could manage it through the satellite itself (the Trav'ler).
I guess I don't really have an answer for you.

In my previous experiences with two or more Dish receivers it took a separate satellite switch to operate 2 receivers on one antenna. But that also required 2 cables (1 for each polarity) going to the Dish 500 antenna/LNB.
I just purchased a 262RKS and also see the one cable installed to the satellite antenna port, so I'm a bit confused by that. I would have expected two cables as before. I have not yet bought the Dish Tailgator package, though I plan to. Call RZ customer support, or email cremble@kz-rv.com. I have found Christina to be most willing and able to respond.
