Hi All... well I got my tow bar question answered now I need some help with deciding which satellite to have installed on my MH. I am thinking about the KVH standard set up as I don't care about in-motion. Also wonder about Winegard as they seem to have been around for so long. I was at the Pomona RV show and think I found a good deal on both the dish and the install. Thought about carry-out models but figure they will just walk away and don't want the cords hanging around! What's the best in all your experiences? thanks

You might want to call Doug at Advantage RV (951) 776-9401. Had him install a in-motion last month. Excellent service and he is mobil.

If you don't care about in-motion, don't bother with the KVH or any of the other "dome" setups as they have a variety of issues. The only 2 to look at are either Motosat or Winegard. When my old Winegard AS-2003 broke I was all ready to plunk down the $$ for a Motosat, until Winegard made me a swingin' deal on a SK-3005. All I can say is that after having installed this antenna and using it, it is every bit as good, probably better than the Motosat. Winegard obviously did a serious amount of homework on this unit. HERE is a recent thread on it.

You already know that you will never get into trouble w/ Winegard,....they are everywhere.
Motosat is like chevron, they think they can just name their price and you will pay it,....and their right, some will. For myself, I love my Kingdome.

If you want to receive ALL of the satellites at one time a dome will no long do that. There is no HD on any of the domes now without loosing your other channels. I am removing my Kingdome and will be installing a Winegard Traveler that has all 3 LNB's and will receive HD just like at home. The Traveler will find the sats in less than a minute, where the dome take forever. The price of the Traveler is about 1/2 of that of a dome.

I had the Winegard SK3005 installed c couple of months ago. It works exactly as advertised. I'm as happy as a clam at high tide.

Another vote for the Wineguard Traveler. Great dish, finds sats anywhere and gets excellent reception. I would not be without mine.

This is only true in regards to DirecTV.
