Bob - I have a roof bracket mounted on the board, then just clap the pipe on the dish to the roof mount, the same way the installers do a house. Now I have 3 different ways to set up a dish - the tripod or one of the 2 roof mounts. I really don't like the tripod so much cuz we have had children in the campground run thru the site, tripping on the wires or hitting the dish. Now I don't have to worry about other campers who don't teach their children campsite manners.
