A couple of years ago, I had the motor jam on mine in the up position as we were getting to go home and the little plug broke as I was trying to do an emergency stow in the rain on a slick roof. I was on the line with a Winegard tech and told him that I was going to take it to Brazel's which was about a mile away and he told me that the dish was only rated for 30mph. I finally got the dish pulled off the mount and we went home. They replaced that one as it was only 15 months old and then 10 months later the new one did it again. It was considered out of warranty as it was 25 months from the purchase of the ORIGINAL one and I had to pay for a new head.
Oh and the second one also jammed in the up position in a driving rain storm at Jantzen Beach RV park in Portland and I had an audience of about 6 guys who stood under the awning of the rig across the street and rooted me on. They brought the beer tho.
