Thanks, Ted, and that's fine if I have to do that, but all the RS rotators are 110v with no 12v option. I have searched, but can't seem to find a small 12v rotator. I'd hate to use an inverter just for that, seems silly.

Lee, there is a construction article in Chap 6 of the ARRL Satellite Handbook (too complicated for me)
But the reality is that it is easy to manually turn the RS rotor with the control box from the comfort of your chair just following the azimuth showing on your sat program and listening with your ear...this will get you close enough. I have the Elk on a RS rotor with Bob's fixed elevation. (Worked good enough for VUCC #226)
Of course, the original question was about mobile installation, so unless you have a long extension cord or a generator....... hi hi
