Winegard Trav'ler install

[orion7144]

I installed it during the pre-rally. Thanks to Don Gilbert for helping me get it on the roof. The rest was pretty easy. I used the mounting plate for added strength. The "pre-wire" for the power cable, located in the ceiling of the bedroom, had a female connector and the one from the sat also had a female connector. Heartland had about 10' of cable stashed in the ceiling so I could have run it directly to the sat and opened the weather proof box where the connections are but I chose to just cut the excess cable and just splice the two together. I also cut all of the RG6 to length and installed my own connectors.

How did you know where to look for the rooftop cable? I have no ceiling plate anywhere in the bedroom or front closet, and no sign of it on my roof.

You might have to pull a ceiling light or bedroom speaker to find the cable.

My 2018 32RS did not have the pre-wire. If you have the MSRP sheet from dealer it will tell you if it had the pre-wire. If not you will have to run the cables yourself.

i will try that tonight, in my UDC the wall plate shows ground level which my satellite is hooked to now and roof top connections so i assume it is pre wired.
