Satellite Ladder Mount Questions:

Question: Does the Satellite RV Ladder Mount include the base plate, mast j-pipe and the satellite dish ? Answer: No, the Satellite RV Ladder Mount is just a patent pending RV ladder clamping system which you can use to attach your Satellite base plate , mast j-arm and satellite dish to your RV ladder or home or apartment patio railing. If you need the Mast J-Pipe with Base Plate, you can order our

Quick Mount Kit 1 or Kit 2 .

Question: Why does the Quick Ladder Mount Kit have two Kit types ? Answer: The Quick Mount Kit 1 has a mast J-Pipe which has a outside diameter of 1.625 inches.This will fit all Dish Network dishes and will fit only the non HDTV dishes for DirecTV. It will not fit the DirecTV Slimline HD dish. So we have the Quick Mount Kit 2 which has a J-Pipe for the DirecTV Slimeline Dish whose outside diameter is 2 inches.

Question: Does the normal motion of the RV caused by walking inside the RV cause the satellite signal to be weakened or lost when using this mount system on the RV ladder. Answer: No, as full timers, we have used the Satellite RV Ladder Mount with the large DirecTV Slimline Dish for 3 years and have not had any change in the signal strength..

Question: Does the Satellite RV Ladder Mount require any other hardware to attach it to a RV ladder or home patio railing. ? Answer: No, the Satellite RV Ladder Mount is a clamping system which doesn't require any added parts or drilling of holes.

Question: Can I move my RV with the Satellite RV Ladder Mount and satellite dish attached to my RV ladder ? Answer: You can as long as it is not above the maximum height of your RV's highest point. BUT we suggest that you just slide your satellite dish off the mast J-pipe. Than after arriving at your new location put your dish back on the mast J-pipe.

Question: Can I use the Satellite Dish Ladder Mount on my steel railing of my home patio? Answer: Yes , the mount will work on all types of railing as long as the rail is not thicker than 2 inches.

Question: Is my RV ladder strong enough to withstand the wind loads from the large DirecTV Slimeline dish. Answer: Yes, as long as your RV ladder is securely fastened to your RV and has no loose mounting hardware. If your ladder is secure enough for you to climb, than it is secure enough for your satellite dish. We have sold these mounts to RV'ers all across the USA for over 2 years and have had no reports of any problems.

Question: Why should I measure the distance between my RV ladder pipes before buying the Satellite Dish RV Ladder Mount? Aren't all RV ladders a standard size? Answer: Yes, most ladders are made from a patented ladder step which is a standard dimension between the ladder vertical pipes and our ladder mount is designed to fit this type of ladder. But some Motorhomes have a ladder which is wider between the ladder pipes. Our ladder mount is 12 inches overall length and will clamp securely to your ladder pipes as long as they are 11 3/4 inches or less between the vertical pipes. Refer to our web page Measure Your Ladder, to see how to check your ladder dimensions.

Question: Can I still climb my RV ladder with the Satellite Dish Ladder Mount in place on my ladder? Answer: Yes and No , some people maybe able to work their way around the dish to climb the ladder. We think that if you need to climb onto your RV roof on a regular bases there are 2 solutions.

1) Use another ladder to access your RV roof. Most serious RV'ers carry a ladder with them to allow them to reach the RV sides and roof for maintenance and cleaning purposes.

2) Place the Satellite Dish TV Ladder mount on the horizontal top area of your RV ladder, this allows you to climb to the roof without any interferance.
