My reason for not having a mounted unit is I camp host and I don't know how many times I have seen frustrated campers that can't get TV at all due to obstructions above their site.
We're full-timers and we hardly ever find we can't get DirecTV because of trees using our rooftop Trav'ler. It depends on the places you go and the sites you get. In some parts of the US trees are rarely a problem, whereas in the northeast they can be a significant nuisance. Sometimes we have to live with SD signals from the 101 satellite and every once in a while we have to stream video if we can't get any signal at all.
