The arm of the TRAV’LER antenna extends 32.5” from the center of the base and may operate only 8” above the
surface to which the TRAV’LER antenna is mounted.
To ensure you have adequate clearance for the TRAV’LER
antenna to safely operate, check that there are no obstructions taller than 8” within 32.5” of the center of the base.
Also, check that there are no obstructions (such as tree limbs) above the antenna that will prevent it from raising. At
its highest point, the antenna will extend to 37” above the roof to which it is mounted. See Figure 2.
Before removing the TRAV’LER antenna from its box, contact your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may be
pre-wired or have a reinforced area for this system.
Choose a location on the roof of the RV that meets the following requirements:
offers enough support for a secure installation
allows dish to raise and rotate without
interference from other roof-mounted equipment
has a minimum roof space of 42” x 25” for the
antenna (Figure 3)
lacks obstructions taller than 8”mounted within a
32.5” radius from the center of the TRAV’LER base
has a gap of less than 3/16” between the bottom
of the antenna and the roof
Do not install the TRAV’LER antenna in a location
where a gap of 3/16” or more exists between
the bottom of the antenna and the roof, as the
antenna may damage the roof.
is within 5 degrees of level, or the system may
require more time to locate satellites (for best
operation, must be within 3 degrees of level)
Once you have chosen a location for the TRAV’LER antenna, choose a location for the cables to enter the vehicle.
Keep in mind the following:
The TRAV’LER interface box must plug into a
well-ventilated 110 V outlet.
The 24” AC power cord must be long enough to extend
from the outlet to the TRAV’LER power supply, which
will then connect to the TRAV’LER interface box.
The 30’ control cable must be long enough to extend
from the TRAV’LER mount base to the interface box.
One 30’ coax cable will need to be run from the mount
base to each receiver inside the vehicle.
NOTE
The provided coax cables only include a
connector on one end.
Do not run wires through the striped area shown in Figure 4. Anything in
the striped area will interfere with the operation of the TRAV’LER antenna
and may cause damage to the object or to the TRAV’LER antenna.
Make sure cables are long enough to reach their destination points inside the vehicle.
For cable runs longer than 30’, an extension may be purchased. Winegard recommends using
Model CL-SK26 25’ extension cable.
Do not exceed 55’ of cable.
Winegard is NOT liable for damage, expenses, or
injury caused by improper installation.
