It's almost like your a forty year old in a 9 year olds body :svengo:
Rachel I run an old sky digibox in my caravan I use an argos tripod style clothes line base to mount the dish on & after turning up on site just wander around looking where other dishes are pointed for a starter on where I put & point my dish :)
Its not difficult & an old box and dish from ebay should be very reasonable.

I used a scaffold pole in the jocky wheel mounting and mounted the dish to that. From maplins you can get a sat-finder its a signal meter makes finding the signal easy.

I have a motorhomeand over the years have tried all sorts of telly options. Today I have a proper roof mounted dish and use freesat.

However when I first experimented with Sat tv in the camper I just used an old sky box - to get all the free channels, an old household sky dish and bought a tripod to mount it on. Worked fine and cost me 30 quid total.

If I had a caravan I would do the same today (but maybe use a 12v freesat box for convenience). Mounting dishes on roofs of caravans can be tricky.

Don't waste your money on sat finder, you don't need one, in fact they are a nuisance. You only need a compass and a bit of practice. Sat finding time doing it after a bit of practice is well under a minute.

Incidentally you can buy the whole kit from somewhere like Maplins for well under a hundred quid. Freesat will give you all the main tv channels as well as about 200 others! Even the little ones will work as far south as northern Spain.
