We use one of receivers from the house and we FOUND a round dish in the garbage can at a local apartment complex. DH made a stand out of PVC and mounted a compass and level to it. We can put the dish IN or remove it for storage.
It works great and we did purchase one of the satellite "finders" that ROYB has on his reply. We will manually set it up with an approximate aim with a compass and the receiver, then, if we need more help, we will attach the "finder" and see if that helps. Usually, we can get a signal within 10-20 minutes, but the biggest problem in most of the campgrounds we go to is that there are trees.
We have just recently been given another oval two LNB receiver that had been at a friend's mothers house. She is now deceased and they are renting her property. He called DIRECTv and cancelled her subscription and told them to come and get the satellite dish and they told him it would cost more to remove it than to leave it. They left it and we got it.
