The sat domes a great, installed mine a couple of months ago. One push of a button and in a few minutes you have TV, can't beat that.
Had a great weekend it the dez, time to leave and the landing gear wouldn't come up evenly. The left leg would hesitate/stop, but finally got it to come up enough to get it home. Took out the gearbox/motor and left leg. Gearbox good, motor good, leg not so good, missing chunks out of the gears.
Took leg down to a local RV shop and had them rebuild the leg, also bought a new gearbox made out of aluminum instead of plastic. Ordered a new switch to replace the one which is currently only held in by the silicone as all of the screw tabs are cracked and broken.
Will lube up the right leg and hopefully will have another few years of service out of the landing gear.
