Install the Antenna
New Installation (for upgrade instructions go to pg 7)
1. Place the Trav'ler Pro antenna on the roof where
you plan to install it. On the mount base, the
transition plate is marked "FRONT" and "BACK."
Rotate the Trav'ler Pro antenna until the front of
the mount base faces the front of the RV.
The
Trav
'
ler Pro antenna must be installed on or
parallel to the centerline of the coach
(see figure 5). If you are upgrading from the
original Trav’ler to the Trav'ler Pro, skip to page 7.
2. Verify that the part of the transition plate
marked "FRONT" is facing the front of the
vehicle (see inset at right).
3. Mark the location where the nine screw
holes will go through the transition plate. It is
important that you can see these marks on the
roof of the RV. Then, move the mount base out of
the installation area.
It is recommended that you
do not pre-drill the screw holes at this time.
4. To prevent water from getting into the mount base,
use a solid line of approved sealant to connect the
marks in the shape of the base. This step must be
completed, or the unit may fail due to corrosion.
Replace the Trav’ler Pro antenna base.
5. Before using the supplied mounting screws, check
with your vehicle manufacturer for any special
screw requirements. Then, screw the antenna
base to the roof using nine mounting screws.
6. Run a solid bead of sealant around the edge
where the transition plate meets the roof, making
sure to cover each screw head. Be careful not to
get any sealant above the transition plate (see
figure 6).
TIP
When installing the antenna on a rubber roof,
Winegard recommends using a model SKA-004
roller plate, which is designed to create a solid
landing area for the roller. 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.
