        Hello everyone. I own a 2000 Winnebago Minnie Winnie and would like to take my home satellite receiver with me when I am on the road. I found a dish at Walmart but I would like to mount the dish on a tripod in order to make it portable. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can purchase a tripod? Also, does anyone know of a device I can purchase that will help me position the satellite correctly? Thank you all for your help.

     I have the sidekick which is mounted outside a window at home so that all I have to do is open the window and loosen two bolts and unhook the cable and we're off camping. The only reason I take it now is in case the dish on top of the M/H doesn't have a clear shot at the satellite.
     I have Dish satellite and the only thing I need to set it up is a good compass, a small level and know what the local zip code is. Usually can set it up in about 10 minutes.
