Quick Reference Guide

Your Winegard RoadTrip satellite System has been designed to be the most user-friendly Mobile Satellite Antenna on the market today. Upon installation of the antenna, or after changing satellite service provider, simply set the switches inside of the dome to the settings shown in the Operation manual. These switches enable the dish to locate the proper satellite for your service provider, and, for the RoadTripSDi In-Motion system, to be set for the proper installation option. Simply set the switch, and forget it! Your Winegard RoadTrip Satellite Antenna will locate the proper satellite with just the flip of a switch.

Mounting Instructions

It is essential to mount your RoadTrip Automatic System in the proper position and orientation on your RV roof to ensure proper operation. Choose a location on your roof clear of obstruction and close to your receiver and power source.

To ensure proper tracking with your RoadTripTMSDi, you must mount the unit so that the unit is centered on the centerline and cables exit either towards the front or back of the RV. See Figure 1c below.
