King-Dome KD2000 Owner's Manual page 8

NOTE: Many RVs are pre-wired for satellite with RG-6 coaxial cable. Contact the manufacturer of your RV or your
local dealer to verify where the coax cable for satellite pre-wire is located.
If pre-wired, run the existing pre-wiring from the pre-wire location to the antenna unit. When choosing the
antenna unit location, make sure the pre-wiring will reach the antenna unit.
Make all connections, properly route and fasten wiring to roof, and completely waterproof entry hole with the
cable entry cover as shown in this section. You may still run the second coax to the rear of the vehicle for an
optional second receiver.
ANTENNA UNIT LOCATION
4. Select an area on the roof for the antenna unit and the location where the wiring will enter the
vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver, controller and 12 volt power source inside,
using the following criteria:
a) A shorter distance between the antenna unit and the satellite receiver is most desirable.
b) The antenna unit requires a 28 inch diameter mounting area.
c) The antenna unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle.
d) There must be no "line of sight" obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas, and
storage areas that are too close to the antenna unit may obstruct the satellite signal
(Fig. 7).
