Winegard makes many portable RV satellite units that can be utilized either directly through a serial port to pass commands to it's firmware, or it's control PCB can be removed and replaced with an Arduino, H-bridge combo DIY custom control system.
Their main competitor seems to be Tailgater. (which may be owned by King Controls? their products are too similar to be coincidence)
