Something not mentioned but may be worth looking into.... Contact the RV Park to see if there is a dealer locally who offers RV Calibrations. Or contact a dealer locally and see if they do that and at what price.

I added this service to my company and have a dedicated Driver just for the RV Parks in the Spring/Summer. Most RV Parks know who the local Satellite Providers are and some get a little commission for advertising for them.

If you know exactly where you plan to stay the Sat-Guy may even offer a discount if you bring him continuous business

Using a dual analog meter will give you superior results to digital meters and for
a better price than most.

Turning the volume way up on the TV may be one way of doing it. It is also a good way to irritate your new neighbor.

order the $20.00 earbud style , if you do buy the analog "winegard" turn the sensitivity all the way down ( they are not really made by winegard ) I see that you are attempting to create simplicity, understandable.

heres a link only 12 bucks perfect for rvs

You could turn the TV up and go by the tones.

FRS radios are so popular have someone stand in side while your outside moving the dish around.... set the elevation and skew properly first and the right and left movements should hit it right on.
