Installing the Antenna

1.Place the TRAV’LER 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 antenna until the front of the mount base faces the front of the RV. The TRAV’LER antenna must be installed on or parallel to the centerline of the coach. See figure 6.

TIP When installing the antenna on a rubber roof, Winegard recommends using 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.

2. Verify that the marked “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle (see fig. 7).

3.Mark the location where the nine screw holes will go. 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 will fail due to corrosion. Replace the TRAV’LER 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.
