Tailgater satellite--pros and cons in various campgrounds

I have directv without hdtv and a 9 year old receiver. I keep a dish on my b&m and on the rv port. I carry a dish on a tripod in the motor home and 150 feet of coax. My set up takes about 10 to 20 minutes depending on foliage and mountains. I have used this from Fresno to Prince Edward Island without any troubles. For local channels I use the antenna. My total cost was $15 for the tripod on Ebay.
