Past owner of my coach installed a roof mounted dish. Glad they paid for it. Most of the time it's blocked by trees. Started out using a Dish 500 manual aim. Some times I got lucky and had it going in 10-15 minutes. Most of the time much longer. Last year saved up and now have a Windgard Carry Out for those times the roof is blocked. I also have about 200 feet of coax and power cord for those times that a clearing isn't as close as I would like. Primary camp at State and Federal parks so the antenna growing legs is a minor concern but it's easy enough to pick up and bring in when necessary. Also the Carry Out does not require a specific receiver to work as does the Tailgater.
If I had a good southern view at the house I would drop the cable and just use RV antenna and receiver. Guess I'll keep the cable and the trees.
