Satellite receiver in 8329SS

I've been looking online and in the trailer trying to figure out where to put the satellite receiver in our Rockwood 8329SS.

For those with this model using satellite, where do you put your receiver?

Thanks

I have a 8525ss and put mine on the left side of the tv.
I don’t know if you have the same floor plan as the 8525ss though.

HIDEit Uni-MW | Patented Vertical Adjustable Cable Box Wall Mount, Xbox Wall Mount, DVR Mount, Satellite Receiver Bracket, Component Shelf

I have my dish receiver mounted in a Hideit mount behind the Furrion TV in my 2018 Ultralite 2902WS. Remote works great.

Does your setup with that mount rely on having a receiver that doesn’t require line of sight for the remote?

Thank you. I was looking for something like that. I ended up putting together a temporary solution that is similar. Your solution looks much better/cleaner (although mine has nice white zip ties ). I also like the idea of putting it behind the television. Thanks again!!

My receiver is line-of-sight. The reviews said the remote would work with the receiver behind the TV. I set my receiver behind the TV to test. It worked. I ordered the mount from Hideit rather than Amazon. Don't know why, just did. I use the receiver in a guest house and it is easy to remove when I'm not camping.

Thanks. That’s good to hear although I suppose not all receivers are alike.

It’s unfortunate that Rockwood/Flagstaff have chosen on some of their models like MVFD’s to abandon the shelf area that is perfect for placing satellite receivers and Blu-ray players. I could be wrong but they seem to no longer have that space on their TTs but still offer it on some 5th wheels of the same or very similar floorplan. I have no idea why they feel the need to close off the space under and behind the TV.
