Camping World is about $27 higher then most places for the G2.

And this is what maybe les than 10%

I just got a W2 from Dyers RV for about $100 below list.
It works great.

The Carryout 1518 has worked flawlessly for me since I purchased it new in 2010 and I only recently retired it by switching to HD. I've used it camping, tailgating, and at my remote hunting camp. It's SD (standard definition) only. I learned by chance that the little rubber feet on the bottom of the unit straddle the top of a fiberglass step ladder perfectly for those spots where a little extra elevation is needed. Keep an eye out on Craigslist for a used one if SD works for you. With everyone wanting to switch over to HD, the bottom has really fallen out on the pricing for these. I can't even get $300 for mine locally, so it's now a shelf ornament in the garage.

If you are looking for a good portable satellite antenna, the King Flex or the King Quest are fully automatic and do not require a separate power cable. The King Quest also is roof mountable. Neither can receive HD channels on Direct Tv. I use the King Flex and I have satellite service by the time I finish setting up my rv.

looks as if the carryout G2 from Wineguard is the way to go!

The Carryout 1518 is no longer manufactured but it's replacement, the Carryout G2 will give you everything you need. King Dome also makes a good portable dome style unit. Any reputable seller on the internet will ship you the product. It's the same no matter where you buy it.

Look for a Carryout GM 1518 used and you won't be sorry. Excellent SD reception and it couldn't be easier.

The quality of what you get off the "ignorant net" is usually determined by the ability of the user. Plan on extra cable, tripod, sat finder, storage area etc.

Unless they have been changed since I had mine it requires two coax connections to the receiver and a 12 V power source. A small table to set it on would be useful. The cables and power cord should be at least 50 feet long. Plan on losing a full bay for storage.

I finally ditched mine in favor or a winequard traveler. In retrospect I should have just spent the $$$ once. Besides buying the Carryout I also had to have an additional coax run from the water bay to the receiver and a 12V outlet installed plus some splitters to select between park cable and sat input. By the time I was done it was easily over half the cost of doing it right the first time.

Now I have push button setup, full HD, full recording capability for up to 3 channels at a time, etc, etc.
