Snfexpress,

The DirecWay system even with the DirecTV option would NOT be too heavy for the roof of the Montana unless they have changed the way they make the roof. While the automatic process definitely has it's advantages it also has some major disadvantages. The primary problem being that you cannot park in an area that blocks the southern sky. That's why a tripod is such a nice thing to have. Another problem that I've read about is that the rig must be almost perfectly level for the auto thing to work. I have no experience with the auto system. I'm just passing on what I've read. You might go to Datastorm.com and do some reading of the posts. Lots of good info.

Good luck,
HamRad
