Keep in mind that ANY dome system including your KVH and DirecTV will only get you programming in SD. This can be OK for some but I think it’s nearly unbearable.
With DISH and a dome you can get HD programming but you are limited on receiver usage and DVR capabilities.
I have been a DTV customer forever and use the Winegard Trav’ler for DTV along with their Genie receiver (about the same as a DISH Hopper DVR). I also have an AT&T hotspot based on the old Mobley hardware so I am lucky to have a truly unlimited service for just a tad over $20/month. It’s no longer available and I am hopeful they don’t kill it at some point in the future. We have 2 Fire TV sticks on our 2 TV’s and with Amazon Prime there are tons of streaming options. We were blocked by a tree for our Winegard at our current location but turning the bus around gave us a clear view. We will likely be here for a month or 2 so getting DTV was important.
We also have the Winegard Razar Automatic dome OTA TV antenna which works great and gives us all the local news in the morning and evening. The dome is not as good as the Winegard Sensar (Batwing) but the automatic Batwing we had on the last coach is no longer available so the Razar has proven to be a pretty good 2nd best option.

We have Headhunter Sentry TS-1501 and TS-3002 systems in our 96 Liberty that are still working good. I calibrated each many yrs ago. I have pdf instruction files for each. Email me and I’ll send them to you.

Doug, Don’t give Tom any ideas. I still have some hope of seeing a little dues money so I can buy a smart phone.

Your lifetime free dues are now in place George. You can’t beat that type of service, 4 years old and they still gave you a break. If you weren’t goofing off, you could be at the Maintenance Seminar and thank them in person.

Wavy, I had similar concerns with Country Coach basement air systems. We were looking in the exact same price range as you.
At the West Palm Beach Prevost Expo we parked next to two Country Coach Prevost conversions and got to spend some time in them. We were impressed and ended up buying one of them through MotorHome Exchange. We will be picking up our 2006 Country Coach Prevost after Liberty’s PDI is completed, scheduled for May 15.
The previous owner of our CC is a master mechanic and took time to educate me on the basement air systems – maybe “educate” is an overstatement. At least I felt comfortable enough to feel good about it. The units certainly are quiet and since the bus lived in Florida, it was tested in heat and humidity.
Since I had to replace 3 roof airs on our previous coach, the availability of replacement units for the basement air systems makes the choice just as practical as any other.
Needless to say, we are counting the days until we pick up our bus.

Here’s what the H locks look like. I have all mine working, but gave up on the bay unlocked warning light and pulled the relay.

I was checking our lights once and the side lights didn’t come on when turning on the master headlight switch. I realized that the ignition has to be on for the marker and side lights to work (or engine running).
You may have tried this but just wanted to mention.

Pomp’s in Elgin Illinois had eight XZA2 Energy 315/80-22.5 tires in stock two weeks ago. I got two of them myself through the program with date codes of December 2016. Their phone: 1-847-695-3713. They said they do a lot of volume of this particular tire and therefore keep more inventory. For comparison they only had two XZA1s, and they were two years old.
