Just put a new Winegard Traveler HD dish on the roof of my Cameo last month. Got it at Camping World in Tucson.  It was pricey, $2000 installed, but sure works great.  Have used it in heavy rain with no problems thus far.  Push a button it sets up dish and automatically locks in on five sat. signals, when ready to hit the road push the button and it folds down in the stowed mode 10 inches in height.  Sold the stick house, so figured might as well enjoy.

We have the same dish.  It has never given us any problems and it really is nice to just push a button and watch it do it's thing. We purchased ours at CW also.

We have the same system for our Dish Network reception. It has saved our marriage. ha. No longer am I outside angling the dish on a tripod a few degrees left or right and up or down just to hear my wife, who is sitting on the couch watching the Dish setup screen, shout out to me "no, nothing yet" over and over. We absolutely LOVE just pushing that button and having all our channels in about 5 minutes or so. The only drawback is that we no longer park in the trees unless we can still have a clear south facing view.

63-41, Go for it!   I must confuse, I did have a Winegard dome that I had for a few years, swapping it from my old 5'er to the Cameo.  It was great, except when it rained, then it was spotty.  Fortunately, I lost one of the feeds to it, and sold the stick house, so to celebrate we went to the new HD dish.   Love it.......
