How It Works
Wilson Electronics RV / Trucker Roof Mount Cellular Antenna will collect the cell tower
signal and send it through the cable to a signal booster or directly to the cell phone or
laptop data card. When the cellular device transmits, the signal is transferred to a signal
booster or directly to the antenna and broadcasted back to the cell tower.
Antenna Adapter Required – Sold Separately
A phone/data card-specific, six-inch Antenna Adapter is required when connecting
the antenna directly to a cellular device. To identify the correct adapter, see Wilson
Electronics Adapter Guide at www.WilsonElectronics.com or call Technical Support at
866-294-1660.
Adapter type may vary depending on
your cell phone or laptop data card.
Package Contents
1 - RV / Trucker Antenna 2 - 5/8” nuts
6 - radials (3 short, 3 long) 2 - star lock washers
1 - thread-locker liquid 2 - steel washers
2 - rubber washers 1 - rubber boot
2 - sets of angle mounts 1 - 5/8” x 7” threaded rod
Installing the Antenna
1. Unscrew the 7” threaded rod from the antenna and
slide it off the antenna cable. Remove the washers
and nuts from the threaded rod. Leave the rubber boot
on the antenna.
2. Choose the location to mount your antenna. Some
installations may require headliner removal - this is
difficult and my require a professional installer. For
RV’s we recommend mounting your antenna so that
the lower hole is hidden inside a cabinet towards
the front of the RV. If you are installing on a slanted
surface, you will want to use the included angle
mounts (see Diagram 1). If you use the angle mounts,
make sure the rubber washers are placed directly against
the mounting surface.
3. Disconnect the vehicle’s electrical power. Drill a 5/8”
hole up through the roof being careful not to come into
contact with electrical wires or air vents. Drill the hole
perpendicular to the ground. Avoid following any slant
in the roof. (Antenna should be mounted vertically).
4. Note that one end of the threaded rod has inside
threads. This is the top end that the antenna will screw
into after installation of the threaded rod. Put a rubber
washer, angle mount (if mounting surface is slanted),
steel washer, star washer and nut on top of the
threaded rod. Push the threaded rod down through
the hole - the side that has inside threads must be on
top. If you are mounting on a slanted surface, rotate
the angle mounts to account for any gaps.

5. Depending on your application, you may want to
cut the threaded rod if it extends too far down from
the roof. Alternatively, if the ceiling of your vehicle
is thicker than 7 inches, Wilson Electronics offers
a 12-inch threaded rod (part #901116), available
through your dealer. If you don’t want to cut - skip
to step 6. The threaded rod is brass and should cut
easily. Mark the location of the cut on the lower part
of the threaded rod. Leave enough threads to fit the
remaining three washers and the nut. Remove the
threaded rod from the vehicle. Place a nut onto the
threaded rod at the point where you will cut it.
CAUTION: Check that you are not cutting into the
top end with the inside threads. Tighten this nut
in a vise and cut with a hacksaw. Once the cut is
complete, remove the nut from the cut end to deburr the threads. Use a rat-tail file or knife to deburr the inside of the rod. This is important because
a sharp edge may later cut the cable.
6. Push the threaded rod back down through the hole in the roof. Place a rubber washer, steel washer,
star washer and nut onto the lower end of the threaded rod. Tighten the nut until it is snug, but do not
over tighten. It may be necessary to have a second person hold the nut on top of the vehicle.
7. Feed the antenna’s cable through the center of the threaded rod from the top of the vehicle. Screw
the bottom of the antenna to the internal threads of the threaded rod. We recommend that you place
a bead of silicone caulking around the outside rubber washer and bottom of the outside nut. Push the
rubber boot down over the nut and washers.
8. The six radials should be screwed into the antenna just above the short fiberglass rod. A small amount
of the included liquid thread lock on the radial’s threads will ensure that they will not vibrate out.
9. Route the cable to the location where you will be using your phone. Attach the adapter (not included)
to the female FME connector on the end of the antenna cable.
NOTE: For best performance, it is important to mount the antenna as high as possible.
Warning: If using a signal booster, ensure that all antenna and adapter cables are
connected before powering up the signal booster.
!
Warning: Mount the antenna at least 8 inches away from any other antennas to avoid
interference.
