I have seen way too many roof mounted sat receivers that won't work due to obstructions at the site, so a tripod has worked for me for the past 9 years full time. Take a look at www.tv4rv.com. This is the heavy duty tripod I use and I have never not been able to find a hole through the trees to get a good signal. The first time you set it up takes longer, but you learn how to do it quickly.

I say that as a Winegard Trav’lr owner who, for several reasons, uses a tripod mounted dish most of the time. IMHO it’s not worth the price.
I’d suggest Dish, this tripod, a decent meter and a dish with both eastern and western LNB assemblies. If you choose to go with the top-of-the line Hopper 3 DVR , things get slightly more complicated.
