We use a portable Winegard pathway 2 and find we need to set it in spots we would never think of because of obstructions.

You know, I did read somewhere that it had a vacuum bonded roof, which I assumed meant a one-piece fiberglass roof. I climbed up there to mount roof vent covers and it has a rubber roof. I have no idea what's underneath, but it's definitely not just luan because it's advertised as a "fully walkable roof" and it has an option for a roof ladder (which mine doesn't have). I got up there and it had no problem supporting all of my 250lbs. As far as reception, I was originally looking at the carry-out models but then found out that not only can I not get HD (and DVR) with DirecTV (which I already have at home), but also I figured that the additional height would aid in clearing trees vs. a unit that sits on the ground. I'm really curious now what the roof is actually made of underneath the rubber. The Jayco White Hawk I looked at once has an aluminum frame but the barreled roof structure was made of wood. Mine has an aluminum frame but not sure about the roof. It's amazing how little information there is out there in regards to the construction of these things with as much money as we spend.
