The people that are recommending maxview are all portable kits and they are good.

But for FITTED satellite systems you should look at the oyster 85 or a dome type like the KVH tracvision or Camos 40 static.

These are 1 touch operation systems.

We got a Camos 40 static in the end from leisurepower in warrington….not cheap, but really good cost us £1800 fitted, but it works great everywhere….even down as far as Barcelona.

Our Bus is a Hymer too :-)_ Are you in the Hymer owners club?

You can buy a really good system in France for 80€ (OPTEX) it includes Dish and freeview box you get all the english channels plus about 2000 others. I have this system in my caravan in France.
In my motor home Ihave a Maxview dish with an Optex set top box.
If you want to use Maxview set top box you can buy these on ebay for half the normal price, It is a complete camping kit for approx £45-00. you would need a larger dish than the one supplied.
For you TV go to Comet or Tesco nearly all 15/17inch are 12 volt just look at the connections on the back. I purchased 15inch flat screen with DVD player for £130-00 from comet. Sorry I can not give you my contact details you know what would happen if I put the on here. Good luck
