Mike & Val Hooper entered a competition in MMM magazine and won themselves a RoadPro sat-dome. Mike says that they had considered buying a sat-dome but thought they’d be better off if they could get one for nothing – which is precisely what they did.

The unit is now perched discreetly on top of their Autosleeper motorhome and, even though the ‘van isn’t very big, it really doesn’t look out of place at all.

Congratulations Mike and Val!

David & Christine Burton bought their superb Burstner Elegance from Becks Motorhomes in Norfolk. They’re delighted with the vehicle and also with the in-motion sat-dome supplied by RoadPro. Because they bought the Burstner with the dome already installed, they weren’t sure what model it was. After visiting us at Daventry, they now know that it’s an in-motion model which means that, if they wanted to, they could listen to British radio stations as they’re driving through Europe.

The Burtons are “really pleased” with their RoadPro dome. They tell us that, using their Sky receiver, they even managed to pick up BBC & ITV in Berlin! According to our footprint maps, Berlin is well outside the dome’s reception range for Astra 2D but satellite TV is a very strange thing and anything (almost) can happen. Sounds as though we need to make a test trip in the Laika.

Mike & Pam Moore were amongst the first people to put one of our sat-domes on their caravan. That was six years ago and, since then, they’ve travelled all over the U.K. and further.

“We spend from April to November in the caravan” says Mike “and we’ve been just about everywhere – from Cornwall to Kent, to the Hebrides and the Orkneys, even to Northern Ireland and into southern Ireland too. Everywhere we’ve been, the sat-dome has worked perfectly. It’s a fantastic piece of kit and being able to just switch it on and watch TV, not having to worry about setting up a tripod or wondering if it’s too windy is great.”

Although Mike and Pam haven’t been to the Shetlands, we do know people who have been to the Shetlands and have had perfect reception using one of our 40cm sat-domes. So that’s just about the whole of the U.K. covered we reckon!

We were happy and proud to help the Irish Garda with their arrangements to look after Her Majesty the Queen on her recent trip to Ireland.

The Garda use one of our sat-domes on their command & control van but the dome cover had been damaged. We were able to ship out a replacement straight away and, as a result, the Queen’s visit was a great success all round (well, that’s what we like to think!!)
