Looking for a Squarial type dish to use on a caravan,(no arm to get bent whilst travailing) can any one say if they do work and if so suggest a suppler. I found a place on the net that sell all manner of weird and wonderful dishes. but they never replied to email so not getting my money.

Which sats would you like to receive, and where will you be travelling?

Do you have a maximum size in mind?

Does it have to be fixed to the roof of the van, and are you prepared to manually remove it for driving?

What about a separate tripod or pole-mounted dish?

How much do you want to spend and what shoe size are you?

only has to pick up Sky cluster, will be mounted on a pole clipped to side of van and removed for traveling, mainly for use in this country,

I did read someware an old BSB dish can work if you turn something round inside :?
