After a break in Germany I have decided to have satellite fitted to our Chausson flash 08, we are not in a position to go for the fully automatic systems so are looking at the above systems, does anyone have any pros and cons on them?
Also does anyone know of a company covering Northamptonshire that does this kind of work?
I have fitted several of the Camos crankup systems for customers and all have given positive feedback .With the square dish being smaller in area they don,t seem to suffer so much from strong winds.

The maxview crank up is a time proven technology with many happy customers. Maxview have brilliant customer support and the dish comes with a two year guarantee. The system is easy to install and easy to use. Just look at the reviews on a certain maxview dealers website for the crank up, people are always thrilled with it.
I have the Maxview crank-up, installed it myself, not difficult at all (a little nerve racking passing the point of no return with the hole cutter through the roof!).
Easy to set up each time now that a) I've replaced my knackered sat finder and b) I figured that my old Thompson sky box didn't like running off my old 300W mains inverter (often a frustrated moment wondering why I couldn't get a reception in the Disneyland Paris car park but it worked in the Alps ).
Just wish I'd gone for the twin-lnb version as I now take the SKY+ box away with me.
Thanks derek500, I didn't realise that, I have a spair quad LNB in the garage so I'll have to dig it out. Only problem, I can't get on the roof until my broken leg heals
A fellow member on here suggests i should look at the semitronic system, is the pole the same as the status long pole we have in the wardrobe?
not having used a satellite in the motorhome, how do you know when the wind becomes too strong? is it just the picture becomes pixilated?
I have not seen either the camos or the maxview as most of the exhibitors at the shows, understandable want to sell the higher margin fully motorised systems, then comments from actual users of both systems are most useful.
The thing that sold the Maxview system to me, compared to some of the other options, is that it doesn't need to have a long pole fitted in a cupboard, inside the fitting is flush to the ceiling. It makes fitting on a cluttered roof much easier!
As for the wind factor, it will withstand quite strong winds. I was at Burnham-on-sea the weekend before last where it was quite windy, the dish was creaking around a bit but this is fine. By comparison, in the Alps at Christmas, a couple of nights there were very strong gusts as the wind flew down the valley rocking the motorhome, this was too strong and the dish had to go down . I woundn't necessarily rely on pixelisation as an indicator on wind strength, common sense should be a sufficient guage (and look to see what everyone else on site has done with their dish)
