Choosing a Location for the Antenna
1. For best performance and to reduce signal acquisition time, park the vehicle on a level surface that is free of
obstructions such as trees or large buildings. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.
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.
3. Then, choose a location on the roof that meets the following requirements:
a. Offers enough support for a secure installation
b. Allows dish to raise and rotate without
interference from other roof-mounted equipment
c. Has a minimum roof space of 46” x 37” for
antenna (see fig. 4)
d. Lacks obstructions taller than 6” mounted within a
33” radius from the center of the TRAV’LER base
e. Has a gap of less than 3/16” between the bottom
of the antenna and the roof
WARNING
Do not install the 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
f. 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)
Choosing a Location for Cables to Enter the Vehicle
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:
1. The TRAV’LER interface box must plug into a well-ventilated
110 V outlet.
2. The 24” AC power cord must be long enough to extend
from the outlet to the interface box power supply, which will
then connect to the interface box.
3. The 30’ control cable must be long enough to extend from
the mount base to the interface box.
4. One 30’ coax cable will need to be run from the mount
base to each receiver inside the vehicle. Note that the
provided coax cables only include a connector on one end.
5. Wires should not be run through the striped area (see
fig. 5). 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 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!
WARNING
Winegard is NOT liable for damage, expenses,
or injury caused by improper installation.
