Clearance Requirements; Parts; Choosing A Location For The Trav'ler Antenna; Choosing A Location For Cables To Enter The Vehicle - Winegard SK-1000 Trav'ler Owner's Manual

Clearance Requirements

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.
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.

Choosing a Location for the TRAV'LER Antenna

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:

injury caused by improper installation.

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 TRAV'LER power supply, which
will then connect to the TRAV'LER interface box.
3 The 30' control cable must be long enough to extend
from the TRAV'LER 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
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.

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.
