Mark and Dale Bruss Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Vertical mast is critical. Easiest way to get it is with a TV4RV.com HD Tripod. The leg lengths are adjustable which lets you get a vertical mast on uneven ground.

chirakawa Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 The most critical part is making sure the tripod post is dead level. Vertical mast is critical. Plumb true.

mrschwarz Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 I gave up on a dome and installed a Travel'r last spring. I swapped out the LNB to the new DP Plus Pro and got a Hopper 3. Before I got the Travel'r, I used a regular residential dish and a TV4RV tripod, which I still have. When I am somewhere where the Travel'r is blocked, I use the tripod. About 15 minutes, most of the time is accurate. It's good to stay in practice, though. If I haven't done it in quite a while, I have a lot of operator errors.
