FWIW - I have a Winegard Pathway X2 and the literature that came with it states that it will roll in winds stronger then 30 mph.

The tripod has already paid for itself as I was caught in a rainstorm earlier this summer that dumped enough water so that the tripod ended up sitting in 6-8 inches of water.
I am assuming that the tailgater and my X2 are similar in construction.

You aim it at the southern sky and it projects 2 sets of 3 each red balls in the sky corresponding to the locations of the 3 eastern and 3 western arc Dish satellites. Very helpful if you are trying to aim between trees.
