My Brother-in-law has a 2008 36 rlts. The dealer has tried to fix it twice and now they have agreed to replace it.
I have purchased a step support to maybe help ours. I have not installed it yet. Saving that job for when we go out for maybe a month.
Last time out I took the sat dish along. I bought a surveyor's tripod and am using Direct TV. Using the big dish and a SWB. I really had trouble getting the signal through the winegard wall plate ended up running a HDMI cable to the main TV and I could not get a signal to the TV in the bedroom. I am planning on getting a splitter from solid signal and will try something different next trip. Any tips anyone? Ty
Next trip Oregon Coast end of May for a month

We converted your account and trailer over to Directv HD while in Arizona this winter. We have a slimline dish with a SL3 SWM4 LNB. The installer put the power inserter inside the trailer, but had the divider out side with two cables going to it (one for HDDVR in living room and one for bedroom HD receiver). Because the HD receivers do not have a coax output, we bit the bullet and installed another separate receiver in the bedroom. With SD with could watch same channel in bedroom on the coax output.
After the installer left, I moved the powered divider inside next to the power inserter, so now I am using only one coax going out to the dish(I had two going out to the SD dish for the SD DVR), and HDDVR only requires one coax to run both tuners/receivers in the HDDVR and we are feeding the bedroom receiver via the coax that was installed by trailer manufacturer. Wineguard wall plate is handling cable TV and off the air antenna/amp.
I find the Slimline dish very easy to point. I have an old style medal tripod that I anchor down to the ground, I had a larger pipe welded on for the slimline dish. I set the post up verical with the bubble level. (I am going to be working on adjustable legs) I do the three settings according to location, put the TV on 101 and swing the dish for signal on TV setup menu. Peak 101 (3 degree signal) and switch to 103B (1 degree signal) and peak again. Slimline dish mount has built in fine adjustment screws to peak the signal.
Then drink a beer and watch a ball game!!!!
