In the spotlight – The Camos Dome Satellite System
The Camos Sat-Dome has been around for what seems to be centuries.
We decided to take the lid of the Camos Dome and take it apart, we must say that we were impressed.
The Dome Satellite System from Camos is well constructed an uses high quality components from the PCB to the stainless steel bolts.
Overall the dome provided an all round package that was hard to beat.
When you take the lid of the Camos Dome you notice that the unit is very clean and well presented. (Even with the lid off the unit is tidy)

Camos Dome without Cover
The dome satellite dish is powered by some serious high speed motors which use heavy duty cam belts to move the dish.


The LNB is also a quality unit and can be skewed if you need to.


We removed the dish is self to take a closer look at the bearings that enable the Camos Dome to move with ease.

Again the bearings used on the Camos Satellite Dome are tip top and would easily last a lifetime.
The whole satellite dish is self is moved using another motor which protrudes from the underside of the dish assembly.

This also has a support wheel with another heavy bearing through it.

Conclusion:
After taking the Camos Dome Satellite System apart, we found that the unit was constructed using high quality components. This ensures that the unit is free from any maintanance.
The unit is reliable and easy to install which makes it an ideal unit for the avid DIY person.
We would like to thank TSW COMSAT for providing the unit for testing.

We are always looking for things to take apart, so if you have a unit you would like us to look at please let us know.

Caravan Insurance Article
Do you think about car insurance and household insurance, well if you do, then good for you? You are protected, however, do you go on holiday in a mobile home, do you know that you will need some sort of insurance on that mobile home? Well it is true, everything that you own has to be insured, not because it is the law, but because it will do you good, because anything that you own physically can get stolen, or can get broken. So you will have to look into some sort of caravan insurance. We all know that anything can happen anywhere, now let us take this example for instance. You are traveling down the road, you have your family in the car and your caravan towing at the back, you are all happy and excited and everything is going well. Until, suddenly, as you cross over the intersection you are hit by another car crossing illegally in the other direction, now we all know that it is not your fault, but there is nothing you can do because the other driver just keeps driving on. Now, no one inside the car with you got hurt, luckily, but the caravan at the back is a right off, because the person drove into that you see. So you think, well that is fine, and you go no your way, until you remember that you do not have any insurance on your caravan.
What do you do then, well there is nothing you can do really, beside from asking the insurance company to pay out anyway. Well let me tell you something, you can call them until you are blue in the face, they will not pay out for something that is not under their banner, even if it was not your fault. It is just not done, and who is to blame that the caravan was not insured in the first place? Well this seem to be a topic that your wife will have your ear for, because she did tell you to take the full comprehensive cover, even though it is a bit more expensive. However, you thought that you could save a bit of cash with the other one. Well no your have to pay for a new caravan, or your family will have to sleep in a rental caravan until you can get the rest of everything sorted out, and who know what sort of germs are living in those rentals?
So now we can all see that caravan insurance is a must, we all know that the above example is just but one, there could be a fire, while you are all at the seas side, or at the pool, there could be an earthquake, or something like that, and you will be ever so happy if you know that you have caravan insurance, so get it today, and sleep a bit better tomorrow, because anything can happen anywhere at any time, it is up to you to be protected.
