2017 Bighorn TRaveler 32rs

My wife and I just got this new Bighorn Traveler32rs and love it. Only problem is that it was not satellite prep. I am using the tailgater from Dish net. Any help with this would be great. Can I use what is there or do I need too run new RG6 cable. There are 2 connections in the docking station. One must be for cable and the other for satellite. I call Heartland and they told me it was not satellite prep. Maybe he misunderstood me.

Hi Noble38,

Welcome to the Heartland Owners Forum and to the family. We have a great bunch of folks here with lots of information and all willing to share their knowledge when needed.

I am sure you will get some info from our other members soon that use that dish.

Be sure and check out our Heartland Owners Club. Join us at a rally when you can and meet lots of the great folks here and make friends for a lifetime.

Enjoy the forum.

Do I need to run new RG6 cable or can I use what is there.

Some trailers come with coax for satellite connections to the living room, and often also to the bedroom. Some do not. If yours doesn't have exterior satellite connections, you'll either have to run some coax through a wall or floor, or use a flat jumper to go through a window.

Satellite connections, if there, are probably in the Universal Docking Center (UDC), along with a coax connector for cable TV. The cable TV connector won't work because it feeds the signal through a signal booster which is not compatible with satellite signals.

Look for this inside your docking center. You should have something similar. I have used tripod mounted Direct (both SD and HD) for many years. PM me if you need more help.
