  Toughsat on an RV Roof   Toughsat SP Flyaway Configuration  
  The Toughsat SP is installed on top of a RV roof.   Here a Toughsat SP is being used with a Flyaway Case configuration. Flyaway cases require no certified installation since the system is not being mounted on anything.  
     
  An optional remote panel connected to the controller via a phone wire, may be mounted in any location in the rig. Most often on the dashboard. LED's show the status of the system and buttons allows for Power, Find Satellite, Stow Dish and Stop.   The indoor Toughsat controller has an integrated wireless G router with a 4 port Ethernet hub and it operates silent with no fan. The iDirect 3100 iNfiniti satellite modem is also silent, and is standard equipment. (Rackmount 1.5 RU bracketing is not shown)  
  Toughsat Views   Roof Template

Stow heights of the SP are below 12" (30.5cm).   Here are detailed dimensions for permanent placement of a Toughsat for any truck, trailer or RV roof.
