In a word "no", but there are fairly detailed instructions in the manual with diagrams and drawings,
if it's this model you have or are thinking about.
Link (PDF format).

or
http://manuals.solidsignal.com/movinview.pdf

It looks like it's pretty (step by step) straight forward, if not a tad long and tedious. Not a quick install.
"Make sure rear mounting foot is parallel to the center line of the vehicle" is mentioned more
than once, so I'd think it matters.
Also it says it needs "clean" +12VDC power, too. More than once.

Will the roof of a RT170 support your and the dish's weight during the install, might be the
question? Or, can you reach the place where you want to install it from the edge of the roof?
(It needs some leveling/to be level, as is mentioned in the manual)

I know this isn't what you were looking for, but it might be a start?
