Direct tv dish storage
Have any of you come up with any unique ways of storing a dish in your rigs while traveling? I have the large oval direct dish.

X2- On the sofa.
- I carry mine around in the back of the tow'd. Remove the 4 bolts that hold the dish and arm together. All the pieces will lay pretty flat like that. Easy to reassemble and I haven't noticed any degradation in signal strength or difficulty finding the satellites.
- I store mine in the outside storage.I disassemble the 4 bolts dish.
- I drilled out all of the welds that held it rigid and awkward to store. Replaced them with bolts and wingnuts so it could be taken apart and stored mostly flat. The three pieces are stored under the bed. Dish and its 4 bolts, LNB with short cable and its arm with bolts/wingnuts, and mounting bracket.
BTW, I mount the dish on one of the following:
Fence Post Spike
A short piece of 4x4 held in place by a screw and drilled to match the bracket holes completed the project. It is easy to pound in and remove and extremely stable.
Good Luck.
