Selecting a Location for the TRAV’LER Antenna
Before removing the TRAV’LER antenna from its box, check with your RV Dealer or manufacturer. Your
RV may be pre-wired or have a reinforced area for this system.
DO NOT install in a location where a
gap of 3/16” or more exists, as it may damage the roof. See diagram at top of page 3.
Once you have checked for this:
1. Choose a location on the roof of the RV that will allow the dish to raise and rotate without
interference from other roof mounted equipment.
The TRAV’LER antenna may only be mounted
parallel to the centerline of the coach.
2. The minimum roof space required for the TRAV’LER antenna is 43” L x 24” W.
a.
The operational space requires that no obstructions taller than 8 inches be mounted within
a 62” diameter circle from the center of the unit.

You must find a location on the roof that provides adequate space to allow the TRAV’LER antenna
to operate. The TRAV’LER antenna has a Front and Back and must be mounted correctly to avoid
damage to the TRAV’LER antenna or the coach.
The antenna must be m/-5 degrees
of level or the system may require more time to locate satellite(s).
The Transition plate for the
TRAV’LER unit is marked “FRONT” and “BACK”. See Figure 1

INSTALLATION
When installing the TRAV’LER on a rubber roof, Winegard recommends using the SKA-004 Roller
Plate. If not using this plate, make sure that the roller does not come in contact with any rib supports
or bubbles in the roof when in operation. Failure to do so, may result in damage to the roof.
