Getting ready to full time satellite suggestions

Wife and I have pretty much decided to cut back in our life. Going to sell the house and full time in our sportsmen travel trailer until we can pay cash to upgrade to fifth wheel. So we are starting to get things all lined up. I am looking for suggestions on dish vs direct. We have had both over the years and I guess both ok. We have cable now. We have a little carry out mp1 now but I guess we will have camping world install one on roof. Thinking the rover or relay since they are a good price. Any one had experience with cow install? Good workmanship? Clean install? And dish or direct?

As long as your RV sites are wide open a roof top dish is OK. However for far less money a regular ground antenna and a good tripod is far more versatile. Never had anything but DirecTV, so no comments.

I am guessing that a majority would not let CW install a bumper sticker let alone a Sat. Be sure to Check other, more competant RV techs for a price as well.

The new Wingaurd G2 is a VERY small carryout that also has an optional plate you can use to mount it rooftop IF you find you'd like that better.
Winegard Company - Dealers.Winegard.Com

At the present time...for simplest HD reception, it looks like dish is the way to go.
