us out west, I did have a manual aim dish on a camper back around 2000. it was nice when it was raining, but having to move the camper to see around that 1 tree is a PITA :).
I have been putting out a dish 500 on a tripod since the 2000 camper. I am good at it, but I have had enough. plus the eastern arc is a little harder to aim than the 110/119 western arc (I can use the Western arc dish 500 on the eastern arc or western arc depending on trees. You can receive 61.5 and 72 if you "split the difference" when aiming).
With the new Truck camper we are trying to be more mobile. Being able to stop for the night on side of road instead of pulling into a campground, etc. Throwing a sat dish out on a tripod in a walmart parking lot / truck stop sort of looks like I am camping there. Throwing it on top of a 12' camper roof give me enough height to see around say a truck parked next to me.
I am sure I will probably buy a tripod made for it, and I guess I could put the whole tripod up on roof if I had to, I was just wondering if there is any kind of mount holes on this device that winegard don't call out in the directions.
than others have suggested that camper movement might be a problem. I know my Truck camper sitting on truck, with jacks down is as stable as my Open range 5th wheel which has 4 point electric jacks, JT arms and load range E tires.
edit:
and with the truck camper, I am pretty sure I can stand in the door, and lift the dish up onto the roof without climbing the ladder.
