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.

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
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.
