I have a King Dome. Quite frankly, the learning curve on how to use it was rather steep. However, once I figured it out, it was a piece of cake.

The only down side to a roof mounted unit is the tree factor. There have been several parks where trees prevented getting a signal. I considered a tripod alternative when that occurs, but I figured I should be enjoying nature instead of a flat screen.

I have a wingard Travler on my 30' Classic. Works great! I looked into the domes also. They stick up higher than the Travler and everything I read said you have to keep spraying something on the dome to help repel rain water and dew. The travler won't have that problem as the moisture will fall off naturally by gravity.

Besides, it is cool to watch it lock on to three satellites! Your trailer looks like it is owned by NASA!
