Agree. I use a Dish Network 1000.2 dish mounted to a surveyor's tripod using the mast kit purchased from tv4rv.com. I have both the EA Hybrid and WA Hybrid lnb and can switch them depending on need due to tree canopy. I also keep 250' of coax on hand to place dish where ever necessary. We are full timers and can get a signal 99.9% of the time using this method. Takes me normally 10-15 minutes to set this up without using any meter. I use a Hopper3 receiver.
