I have subscribed to DirecTV in various RVs since 1999. With practice, the setup of the Slimline is basically like the 18" dish if you preset the skew. The biggest issue is the much larger size. I still use a meter to read the signal strength at the dish but using it with a SWM system is a little involved so I always carry an old legacy SL3 LNB for the setup and then drop the SWM LNB in place after everything is maxed out on the meter. Some may think this is too much trouble but I have been doing it so long it's second nature.
I have an automatic Winegard dish on my roof but very often something is blocking my line of sight and I have to drag out the portable.
