Apologies in advance if this has been covered in the past, I'm looking to purchase and roof mount on my Conquerer 645 a Vucube 2. I can't find any reviews, only for the original Vucube which seems to be mixed. I only travel in the uk so continental use isn't an issue. I already have a dish and tripod and want fully auto set up. The Vucube 2 will give me this,as well as twin LNB. Any thoughts,or alternatives you've experienced would be gratefully received. Tony.

Thought I'd update. After thinking long and hard,checking out a few alternatives I decided on a Vucube 2. I searched the web for the best supply only deal,which was £675 if memory serves me right. Then there's fitting.... I'm not the smallest of chaps and to be honest,drilling into the roof didn't float my boat. The Caravan was going in for its 3rd service so asked what they would charge. 2 to 3 hours labour, they had only done one before on a motor home. They matched the price I could get and didn't charge extra for the roof mount kit (£25)
It's a doddle to use. One press of the button on a very small,neat control box and in a couple of minutes your picture perfect.
There are a couple of downsides, the Dome is black, God knows why. I did see on eBay a white one advertised but a call to Maxview said they only come black.
The Vucube 2 is a twin LNB unit, and this is where I made an error. I assumed it comes with 2 leads into the Van, not correct. 1 lead,one blanking screw on the Dome. Not a problem to me but if your having one fitted,make sure you specify what you require. For me, well worth the money.

Er, beg to differ. If you Google Vucube it comes up with VuQube.
Err... as I said, it a Vucube 2 (with the spelling error you continue to point out and I actually conceded in my previous post). But it's not a VuQube. If you google it you will find the VuQube is the Gen.1 of the VuQube 2 (hence 2 in the title). The VuQube 2 differs greatly from the VuQube in size, shape, weight, mounting and performance, i.e. twin LNB as opposed to single LNB on the VuQube. My OP was requesting if anyone had any experience with a VuQube 2 and drew a blank. I thought the Forum would appreciate the feedback and potential pitfalls of fitting That's the problem with Apple devices, it assumes that you've correctly corrected the spelling error and automatically corrects the anomaly you yourself have created until you re-correct it. Anyhow, Vuqube 2 (brilliant,correctly spelt it on auto check) works a treat. Very minor interference in torrential rain, but still an acceptable picture.
