What are you using for a satellite dish one you can move around or mounted on the roof. We have a roof mount auto setup for our fifth wheel put really don't know what to use in the Class C. DH always had trouble setting it up. What just like your input.
We use dish network. We have a heavy duty tripod that opens up and i bought a sat, finder on ebay for $15. We just bring alone one of the receivers from the house when we travel.
Portable dish is best, seen many roof mounted RV's pull into sites and unable to gather a signal due to fixed location. Portable dish with 50'+ coax opens up the options. With practice, getting a signal, is quite easy.
Dish mounted to a concrete cap block. Not too heavy, but heavy enough to keep the wind from blowing it over. Only about 3' high, it fits in a small space nicely. No set up, just set out. level adjustment is provided on site site by a pine cone or rock.

We have both. A kingdome in motion on the roof that so far has not worked at any treed campsites (most are treed) and a automatic wineguard carryout for those treed sites. If I had it to do over again I would not have ordered the Kingdome.

"if there is anything left when we are gone, then we miscalculated"
I used to use a portable Dish 500 on a stand I built. But since I upgraded my tv to HD I bought the slick new Dish Tailgater. Awesome & automatic, no sat finder needed. It does seem to need a clearer view of the sky than the 500 though. That may be for the HD. Both are carryouts, not roof mounted.
