It's all about convenience. We've had a roof mounted Winegard Travlr Sat dish for over 8 years. I can only think of about 5 times in over a hundred trips where I couldn't get reception. I'm pretty good at guessing where I need to be situated in a site to get reception and will often jockey the coach back or forth a few feet to get it.
Remember, NONE of your "carry out" sat dishes get HD TV, they only get SD TV. If HD isn't important, then you have more choices.
Side Note: At the beginning of this year I installed the newest version of the Winegard Travlr and I believe it has either a better software package or electronics than the older version. We were just at Yosemite (Upper Pines) in the same site we've been in for years. Just for the heck of it, I turned on the sat and it locked in right away.
