My driveway has a typical slope toward the street. Would that cause the unit to have a foward tilt and be prone to flip over?

Yes, depending upon the degree of the slope and how hard the wind blows. If you decide to go ahead, I would completely fill the base with water and a few gallons of antifreeze and then place sandbags (four 50 pound bags) on the rear end of the base or I would anchor the pole or backboard to something substantial .

Well after a 7 hour drive in hot weather mine was curved about 4 inches from vertical ... guess I WAS going too fast :-} so it's not out of possibility that it COULD slap the side... but every time I looked it was curved back, not toward jeep.Maybe the install could point it back toward the back a bit to lessen the push of the wind ????fyi, reception is pretty good - much better than 5 incher

Don't know. I have always had mine tilted down. Never tried to put it at no tilt.

my yard was on a slope so I went to home depot and found som screw in stakes just to be sure .... it didnt wobble when it was up without the stakes but just to be on the safe side i would reccomend them for anything over a 20 degree slope

Be sure to take the tension off the sway control if backing sharply. Otherwise, I haven't had any backing into my driveway or campground.

depends the slant, the base is pretty heavy and stable so it may not slide.

Nope. It is a very simple pivot. It can flop this way, or that way. That being said, if you put your feet on it when it's tilted all the way one way, it won't move easily. You have to adjust where your weight is to make it rock.

The roof does slope. The wind does knock it over. It will need to be anchored or sheltered to avoid that.

As far as the vehicle angle is concerned, yes, it is very easy to do. Simply loosen one bolt on each side of the housing and it will tilt up and down. But horizontally, the answer is no. The unit comes with two plates: Both go left to right, while one also oscillates up and down slightly. The amount of travel from left to right cannot be adjusted.

I had this installed in a rental property but I believe it did swivel when I inspected it.

This swivel turned very easily in either direction. The cables or wires did not seem to affect the turn ration at all. I would suggest having long enough cables that you have plenty of slack so their is not tension in any direction.

It will only tilt slightly. The tilt is limited by the "ball joint" connection.

That could be difficult as the machine is a bit difficult to push. I've never used mine on that severe an angle. I use a hand held line trimmer in a harness for that type of slope.

I didn't experiment too much to figure that out, but I do know at least 20 feet. That's how far the driveway is from when get to the corner of the house and it turns on. The sensor can be swiveled as well to the angle you want it to work the most.

Yes, it does flip to the side by manually pushing the unit. It is not spring loaded and flip by itself like others that I have. Hope this helps.

blade is angled and can push snow to right or left ; you can flip blade on next pass or keep angled the same to keep pushing snow in same direction. I start in middle of driveway and can keep angle going towards outside. think of it like a snow plow pushing snow in front and off to the side also.

YES, my driveway is over 200 ft and has a steep slope. It works great, even on ice.
