The new Directv dishes are coming through with a square base (at least here in Las Vegas) and from what I understand from the installer, all we'll have to do is reattach everything and turn the base so the antenna faces south? OR, we can leave the antenna here and just contact Direct when we get to the next campground and they'll come out and put up a new antenna. Sounds like a bunch of trouble, if you ask me.
There is much, much more to it than simply turning the antenna to face South. Each new location will require the antenna to be repointed in 3 axis extremely accurately. With a bit of practice you should be able to do it all in less than 30 minutes including setup. Breakdown is easy but you must find a place to store the parts. The base is 3-4 feet square.
Additionally, if you only move 1-2 times per year you "might" get DirecTV to send an installer if you can convince them that you have moved your residence from one location to another. However, they are not going to send an installer to each new location as you travel around unless you want to wait out a service appointment and pay the service call charges plus the cost of the new hardware.
