Innovative Satellite Dish Mount
Allen Gilson has been a full time RVer for 6 ½ years and loves the lifestyle. Allen is from upstate New York and retired from IBM. He also enjoys being connected to the internet while traveling around the country. But unlike the majority of his fellow satellite internet enthusiasts who use tripods to mount their “dish” Allen opted to turn his Kar Kaddy into a satellite dish platform.
After he takes his car off the Kar Kaddy, he positions it so his satellite dish has optimum exposure to the southern sky then bolts the mast (pole) to the Kar Kaddy tongue.
He puts a post level on the mast, chocks one wheel and uses two blocks of wood to “drop” the other wheel in between until the unit is level.
Once the unit is level side to side, he levels the front by placing small wood planks under the tongue.
He aims the dish and happily surfs the net while his Kar Kaddy does double duty.When he is ready to leave for another RV adventure, he disassembles the satellite dish and puts it in the back seat and trunk of his car. Now his car is doing double duty as the satellite storage unit. Now that’s innovation! Jim
