A must have option
Verified Purchase
This option is awesome. Allows me to attach my King Satellite Antenna to the RV roof. If I want to remove it for storage or for a better view of the southern sky it's a simple latch to open and off it comes. Great option for King portable satellites. There is a good video on YouTube on just how it is installed and works. Just search for MB700 roof mount TV install.
 
Easy to install and easy to use
Verified Purchase
I bought the Quick Release Roof Mount so that I could mount a King Tailgater on the roof of my motorhome. I found it easy to install, though I did mount it backwards as the prewiring in my motorhome were too short to mount facing the front. I cover the hole cut to find the prewiring with the King cover (separate purchase). I mounted the Quick Release with 3/4" stainless steel screws. I then covered the screws and any potential leak area with sealant. The installation took just over half an hour once I decided what materials to use.

The Quick Mount itself is easy to use. I can remove the Tailgater in about a minute from my rooftop if I need it for other activities or don't have a clear satellite view when camping. I have about 3,000 miles on the motorhome since I installed it. Other than a few bugs on the latching mechanism facing forward, no problems.

Easy Instructions
Verified Purchase
This unit is easy to put together and install. Fasteners, sealant and time is all that is required to install this antenna mount lock down unit. It is for portable antenna's, however, you can lock down the antenna in this mount and leave it while travelling if you wish. Personally, I recommend that the antenna be removed and stored inside the RV for travel.

Very easy to install. The King unit slides right in and is totally secure. Even has a place for a padlock.

After 12 years on the road and relying on campground cable, we finally stepped up and got this.

Easy to mount on roof and secure.

This mounting kit worked perfect. I recommend watching the YouTube videos on how to install it properly so you'll never have any leaks. I installed it and took the RV on a 1,100 mile trip to Perry Georgia and had no issues at all.

Easy install and easy dish removal and install. Purchased for quick release/install feature for when camping in trees- able to move dish if needed for reception (with cable extension).
 
Seems to be well built and should last a long time
Verified Purchase
This is a good product, seems to be very strong, and mounting it to the roof of my MH was easy and i like the idea that you can put a padlock on it to prevent someone stealing the satellite of the roof is good.

Custom Questions & answers

Question:What size is the screw hole in the mount?
Answer:Not sure
Have mine mounted on top of a Winnebago Travato van. Has been great.

Answer:Yes this should work with all Tailgater's regardless of the specific model number.
 
Question:Any way possible to mount on ladder? hubby doesn't want holes drilled in roof of camper. not finding a ladder mount option for king vq4550
Answer:google search (ladder brackets for planks) and mount the satellite dish to the bracket / ladder jack

Answer:It's OK to leave the dish tailgater mounted...
 
Question:Can this be used in combination with the mb500 mount, or will the mb500 need to be removed first?
Answer:No this mount is specifically for the tailgater dish! It’s molded to fit base of the dish so it can mounted to the roof of an RV. It can be removed from the mount if needed for acquiring a satellite signal.
 
Question:Does this king mb700 quick release roof mount kit for tailgater and quest satellite antennas rotate so you can face the handle north?
Answer:No, but having the handle facing north also isn't necessary.
 
Question:Does this mounting apparatus rotate so the user can adjust it in a southern direction?
Answer:No it does not, but you don't actually need the dish pointing in a southern direction. The dish inside of the dome rotates over a full 360 degrees so direction it is facing isn't that big of a deal.
