It's just going to be about 3 feet off the ground and is shielded fairly
well by the trailer and foliage. I figured I would put an 8 foot pole 3
feet in the ground.

Depends on wind in that area. A 10' 4x4 sunk 4 feet in the dirt would
probably be fine if near buildings that can provide wind shielding.

Will that be secure enough to handle one of your large dishes? Not sure
of the model but it's the one for ePMP, PMP 450 etc.

Yep, post or pole. Full pressure treated if possible. 3' deep
hole for a 9' post.
4.5' deep for a 19' class 2 pole.

A few months ago I read that some of you install wood posts without
concrete for equipment that for some reason can't be mounted to the
customers home. Is this as simple as digging a hole placing the post
in the ground and compacting the dirt around it as you fill the hole
back up?
