This for my RV, but not mounted on the roof. Maximum distance away? Angle of tilt to allow for or just horizontal?

make ur own mounts and just put flat on the top and it will still work good

I'm just toying with it. Mine leans against my garage wall with the cables running under the garage door. The cables from the panel to the controller are only about 4 feet long. There may be some energy loss with longer cables, but I haven't experimented with longer cables yet.

15% or more if you mount the brackets at zero or ninety degrees. my brackets are on a hinge to my airstream trailer roof, thus vertical support is by pvc pipe and its exactly level. this has least resistance to wind so that under 60 kph it is stable enough to stay extended.

Not sure about the tilt angle since I have my tv straight and did not remove the screw that would allow u to tilt, but the distance from the wall and the back of the tv is approx 3".

My installation just allows lateral, (side to side) adjustment & slight angle adjustment.it is possible would work if mounted 90 degrees, but not certain.

It can be put both ways tilted in towards the grill or tilted away from the grill, both ways look good. I have mine tilted away, Just thought it looked better with my winch.

Hi, I don't the maximum height. We mounted ours at eight foot. Works great.

I believe the original specs said it would tilt 20 degrees. I have it mounted pretty high over a fireplace about 5 ft from floor to bottom of tv. I currently have it tilted about 6 degrees and its good for up close watching (c. 5-6 ft) and further away (c. 15-20 ft). I tried the max tilt and got about 14 degrees by my measurement.

Due to the low angle needed this might not be the best choice. A stand alone dish would be your best choice. I own an RV repair service so feel free to call me anytime with questions. Shayne. Two Zero Eight Two Five One 9543

The tilt can be set at any angle. If you are using this bed-table on carpet , it would be better with larger wheels for easier movement. Good Luck!

I just looked at mine mounted on wall and I don't think it has the amount of motion that you would need for that amount of tilt. I thinking 10 degrees or less.

It has to hang above, I have two and I don't believe the angle could be moved that much even if it were mounted on a board of some kind. Hope that helps.

LOL Actually I am working on mounting it right now. It depends on the distance. If it's just a couple hundred feet or less, it will work. With the testing I have done so far, before permanently mounting it, it will go 200 ft. and through my block house. There are two rock terraces in front of my house that are keeping it from going further though, so I am mounting it higher off of the ground and I will see if that works.

As far as the vehicle angle is concerned, yes, it is very easy to do. Simply loosen one bolt on each side of the housing and it will tilt up and down. But horizontally, the answer is no. The unit comes with two plates: Both go left to right, while one also oscillates up and down slightly. The amount of travel from left to right cannot be adjusted.

No I don't think that would be too low at all. The lower it is the better protection you'll have against running over or hitting something close to your vehicle. Also mounting it low will give you an excellent view when backing up to hitch/unhitch a trailer. Finally, a low mounting will have little affect on the view to the sides. As you might expect I like the low mounting.

I have mine high on the wall with a slight tilt down and no problem from any angle where my old small one couldn't be seen from directly below it.

I really can't answer that with accuracy. Mine came with brackets to mount on a round pole as well as the ability to mount on the dual square bars of the typical RV crank up mast. I guess you could always cut the square tubes short and just leave in the up position if you want the antenna nearly flat on the roof. Personally, I want the antenna as high as I can get it.

Here's another suggestion! Velcro slab the TV to the stand, Velcro slab the stand to base of the RV or whatever your resting this on. Now run 2 straps of muffler strapping back to front again using wing nuts to secure the swivel stand while moving. Remove straps when stationary and enjoy angle viewing!
