Roof Space on PT40

[Don Bradner]

I think we are very close to being serious shoppers for a Bird, so it is time to
start asking my own odd questions

We are thinking 1990-1994 PT40 (94 defined by budget limits, so not an exact age
limit).

My first question is: What is the typical available space on the roof? I know
there are a few Datastorm users on this group; any trouble mounting the dish?
Specifically, I have an XF-2, which has a stowed length of 65 inches and width
of 40 inches. The stowed outline is not rectangular, so not every bit of a 65x40
space would be needed, but the 65 inches is needed down the middle of the dish.

I also have an F1 and a MHDTV dish on the current coach, but the MHDTV's
requirements are not large and I probably won't keep the F1.
