Installation 5
Place the TRAV’LER antenna on the roof where you plan to install it. On the TRAV’LER mount base, the transition plate
is marked “FRONT” and “BACK.” Rotate the TRAV’LER antenna until the front of the TRAV’LER base faces the front of
the RV. The TRAV’LER antenna must be mounted on or parallel to the centerline of the coach. See Figure 5.
Figure 5
When installing the TRAV’LER antenna on a rubber roof, Winegard recommends using the
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.
Verify that the marked “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle (Figure 5).
Place marks through the nine holes in the mount base to mark the
location where the screw holes will go. The arrows in Figure 6
indicate the location of the nine screw holes. It is important that you
can see these marks on the roof of the RV. Move the TRAV’LER mount
out of the installation area.
It is recommended that you do not pre-drill the screw holes at
this time.
To prevent water from getting into the TRA’VLER, 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.
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.
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 lip of the transition plate. See Figure 7.

After installing the TRAV’LER antenna mount base, install a cable entry plate at the location
chosen for cables to enter the vehicle from the roof, following the instructions below.
Drill a 1/2” hole in the roof, and push the power/control cable and one coax cable per
receiver through the hole. (Installations for multiple receivers may require a larger hole or
multiple holes because each receiver requires a dedicated coax cable.)
Place the supplied cable entry plate over the hole and cables. Screw the plate in place
using eight of the supplied mounting screws. See Figure 8. Seal the plate and screw holes
with approved sealant (not included).
Depending on the length of the cable on the roof, you may need to use cable clamps
between the unit and the cable entry plate. Clamping every 12–16” should eliminate any
unnecessary cable movement.
Connect the power/control cable to the TRAV’LER interface box, as shown below in Figure 9. Attach the TRAV’LER
power supply to the TRAV’LER interface box, and attach the AC power cord to the TRAV’LER power supply.
Figure 9
Finally, connect a coax cable from the TRAV’LER mount base to each receiver being used with the TRAV’LER antenna.
Note that two coax cables must run from the TRAV’LER antenna to a DVR receiver. Plug in the AC power cord to
the outlet. Note: the provided coax cables only include a connector on one end.
