Wizard...this is the 40cm one http://www.roadpro.co.uk/retail/product_detail.aspx?prod=CAMOS+CRANK-UP+%E2%80%99%E2%80%99FLAT-SAT%E2%80%99%E2%80%99+SYSTEM&id=1087  and it's 5.5kg, so I'm not sure if that's ok or too heavy.

azusuk1...I envy your bells and whistles system, but I don't know how I'll fit the 60"  high definition, widescreen , surround system in the van....especially once I've fitted the whirlpool bath

Looks good to me , i've saved the link to my favorites ( possible future upgrade ) .
I'd still check that your roof can take the weight , if i was fitting it i'd get some ali plate and bond it to the caravan so it would spread any load over a wider area .

Do they do a twin LNB system?

We take our SKY HD box with us which works best with two etc.

We were already looking at the dish system, but that flat one looks much better.

I could with seeing some reviews first, from people who are actually using them.

Thanks

We were at Bashley site and along came a new Bailey Ranger with an square auto satellite dish on the roof.  The dish was moving up/down/round for about 15mins then stopped.  About 30mins later it started all again, and then it folded down after a while....

Not sure of the make but it seemed to me that the dish was having a hard time locking onto a satellite or he/she was searching for other satellites to lock onto and or got fed up with searching!

I have the Maxview Semitronic that has pole attached to a cupboard/wall inside the caravan and thus the strain is not on the roof

I first fitted it to the Bailey Senatot and after 2 years swapped it to the Ace Award

There was no sign of stress or water ingress when I removed it from the Bailey roof

I have fitted mine with a twin LNB so that it can be used with Sky+

It cost £350+ VAT

I have the Tv/digi box set up in the van and arriving on site just have to find the satellite with a meter

I have had no trouble with mine but I had a PM this week from someone in Spain who couldn't get the dish down again

Looks a nice bit of kit John, see http://www.leisurepower.co.uk/acatalog/Maxview_Semitronic_Satellite_System.html for the full details.

I'm hopefully going to the NEC show in October so that should have some of the options on show.

Don't tell HRH

I have the Maxview Semitronic on the roof and so far its only happened once in 3 years that something has been in the way

Plan B spare dish on tripod

Have a look here for fitting instructions

I don't see why you couldn't do what you suggest

There is a template to decide where to drill the hole relative to the internal wall
