Yes, good point.

So I need sun for solar panels to charge batteries. Hence, a clear view to the southern sky for my Trav’ler dish.

When we do visit RV parks, I generally do an internet map search prior to reserving. That way I can see the tree & terrain locations.

That said, it’s something to consider. And is why the “Big Boys” in their 40+ foot rigs generally carry a dome dish as a back-up to mount away from the tree blockages.
Something else to buy, store, and deal with.

I suppose you could also pack some "suitcase solar panels", and have a handy plug wired up for them...
(Pack them with that second dish! )
