Leave the dish out or ??

Question for the Vu Qube or Tripod dish users, do you guys bring your setup in before going to sleep at night or do you leave it out all night while at the RV park ? Going to be doing my first trip soon and did not know whether it was safe to leave my Qube out on top of the 5er al night or should I bring it in before going to sleep so it does not walk off ?

  • When I got my Vue-cube 5 years ago, I also bought a 50 ft small cable, with eyelets on each end...Used It once, dont feel the need , where I stay.


    If I think it is not safe, I go somewhere else..know what I mean??:W
  • we leave our VuQube mounted on a tripod out .... it is secured with a cable to a tree or some other such object .... if somebody was to take the VuQube, it would be useless to them unless they have a remote that is on the same frequency .... in our camping club there are 5 VuQubes .... we've tested then and none of them can be run with someone else's remote

  • Unless you like setting it up every day, I'd leave it up. More likely it will get ripped off during the day when your not at the trailer than when your in it sleeping.
  • Nobody is going to take it off the top of your 5er. It will be fine. You'll see dishes all over the CG. The cubes and such are often cabled to something secure when they are on the ground, though. I bought an overhead dog run just to get the 50' cable. I use it when I feel the need.

    I always worried about an unexpected big wind blowing it off the roof.
