So what is that, a glass handling tool?

That is a neat idea except where we like to camp we are usually under trees and I have to set up my dish up to 100' away sometimes to get a clear shot.

Cleaver but I might be concerned that the weight may start a delamination issue. I'll stick with what I have.

Well is marketed as a lifting tool. I have seen others for handling glass, they costs hundreds of dollars. This was under $17 at amazon.

Yes, I only bring the satellite when we go to NASCAR races. Camping at the events are in the wide open.

There is not that much suction and the weight from the dish is minimal between the four cups.

looks like a pain to aim. any wind and the cables will be slapping against your RV. I'd rather have a tripod.
