Cutting the arm off and either making it a bolt on or hinged connection is the biggest help in finding a storage spot for it. I have a bay in the rear of the MH that I have a drawer like trough bolted to the top of the bay and the dish slides into it like a drawer. Thats normally wasted space so works for me.

I replaced the nuts that hold the dish to the arm with wingnuts and take it apart. Stores almost flat that way. Put a small piece of duct tape over the bolt heads to keep them from falling out.

A friend of mine keeps his mounted on the ladder all the time. He said he doesn't have a problem camping with the rear pointing south. I keep mine stored in a bay. I also use the inverted dish mount so I don't have a tripod.

You might want to just put it inside your MH while heading to your next destination, you could lay it on the floor by your bed. you will more then likely want to set it up when you get there anyway. just
a thought.

I'm also using wingnuts, makes for easier setup/tear down. I store the antenna components in the area under the bed in the rear bedroom.
But after our last outing and trying to aim the antenna for over 3 hours, I'm seriously concerding the VuCube 2000. It's about $800+, but it the long run it might be worth it not have to manually aim a dish.

I've been getting real lazy in my old age. Instead of using the storage bays, I started tossing stuff like hoses, blocks, lawn chairs, door mats, and the like in the back of the small pick up I tow. I then realized it freed up alot of on board storage space for things that I don't use everyday like the satellite dish, golf clubs, etc. On the inside, I started using the top of the bed as temp storage. Those things we usually use everyday like camera, map case, coffee pot, computer, etc are laid on it instead of packing them away for travel. Not having to pack things away has saved us a few minutes in tear down time.

her&I,
I carry ours in the RF storage compartment. The cooking box, outdoor light box and cooler go in first. I am left with about 4" between the storage boxes and place the dish on top of the boxes with the LNB arm in between.
