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.
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.
INSTALLATION

Plan your entire installation before
you start. Determine the location of
all of your equipment and make sure
cable and wires are long enough to
reach their destination points.
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 dam-
age to the TRAV'LER antenna or the coach. The antenna must be mounted +/-5 degrees of level or
the system may require more time to locate the satellite(s). The Transition plate for the TRAV'LER
unit is marked "FRONT" and "BACK". See Figure 1.

Winegard is NOT liable for dam-
age, expenses, or injury caused
by improper installation.
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 interfer-
ence from other roof mounted equipment. The TRAV'LER antenna may only be mounted parallel to
the centerline of the coach.

a 70" diameter circle from the center of the unit.
