Ive had 3 campers with crank up dishes, they work good , but when I wanted high def tv , I swiched to dish from direct , free HD, and direct w/ crank up is SD , you can us the crank up w/ dish HD but you have to move the dish to get all three sat`s
I got a tailgater a 211k receiver and an external hard drive for a DVR
It works good , but because of the smaller dish inside is more prone to rain fade . you cant beat the auto tracking , but you do have to wait longer for it to do its thing as opposed to the crankup
I made my own ladder mount and put a padlock on it , its always ready when I stop, if I park somewhere that I cant get reception I can remove it quick and put a 50 ft cord on it, and lock it up there .
I use a switched plug strip on the tv , and sat receiver because if it has power to the 211k it searches for a sat constantly
You can get several types of ladder mts online if you search for them ,or us a tripod, or just set it on anything as long as there are no bandits around
By the way , there is supposed to be a metal plate on the roof where the crank up dish roller comes down
