Hi
I thought I would tap into the wealth of knowledge available so here goes.
I usually avoid French motorways, but had to use them a couple of times last year. On reaching the peage I had been charged a class rate that implied I was a vehicle over three metres high and it was very expensive. The van itself was not over 3m but the aerial on the roof had taken it over.
Shortly getting another van which is 2.9m high and I would like to put a satellite of some description on the roof.
Does anyone know of a worthwhile folding satellite system that would add less than 100mm to the roof height?
I presume the answer will be no. I will use it further down that mid France so in any case I suppose it would have to be a sizeable dish so I will either have to avoid the motorways or get a tripod mounted dish.
Does anyone use a dish mounted on the roof with flat cable through the window or roof light and how effective is this.
I can live without the satellite, but I am happy to have it installed if it does not cause too many issues that outweigh the benefits.
Any advice greatfully received!
