Clearance Requirements

Choosing a Location for the TRAV’LER Antenna

The arm of the TRAV’LER antenna extends 33” from the center of the base and may operate only 10” above the
surface to which the TRAV’LER antenna is mounted. To ensure you have adequate clearance for the TRAV’LER

antenna to safely operate, check that there are no obstructions taller than 10” within 33” of the center of the base.

Also, check that there are no obstructions (such as tree limbs) above the antenna that will prevent it from raising. At
its highest point, the antenna will extend to 37.5” above the roof to which it is mounted. See Figure 2.

37.5” from roof to highest point of antenna

Figure 2

For best performance and to reduce signal acquisition time, park the vehicle on a level surface that is free of
obstructions such as trees or large buildings. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.

Before removing the TRAV’LER antenna from its box, contact your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may be
pre-wired or have a reinforced area for this system.

Choose a location on the roof of the RV that meets the following requirements:

operation, must be within 3 degrees of level)

Choosing a Location for Cables to Enter the Vehicle

Once you have chosen a location for the TRAV’LER antenna, choose a location for the cables to enter the vehicle.
Keep in mind the following:

1

The TRAV’LER interface box must plug into a
well-ventilated 110 V outlet.

2

The 24” AC power cord must be long enough to extend
from the outlet to the TRAV’LER power supply, which
will then connect to the TRAV’LER interface box.

3

The 30’ control cable must be long enough to extend
from the TRAV’LER mount base to the interface box.

4

One 30’ coax cable will need to be run from the mount
base to each receiver inside the vehicle.

Note: the provided coax cables only include a
connector on one end.

Do not run wires through the striped area shown in
Figure 4. Anything in the striped area will interfere
with the operation of the TRAV’LER antenna and
may cause damage to the object or to the TRAV’LER
antenna.

Make sure cables are long enough to reach their destination points inside the vehicle.
For cable runs longer than 30’, an extension may be purchased. Winegard recommends using the
CL-SK26 25’ extension cable. Do not exceed 55’ of cable!

Installing the TRAV’LER Antenna

Installing the Cable Entry Plate

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.

Transition Plate

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.

SKA-004

Sold Separately

After installing the TRAV’LER antenna mount base, install a cable entry plate at the location

Figure 8

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.

Installing the Cables

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

Back of TRAV’LER Interface Box

110 V outlet

AC Power Cord

Verify that the marked “FRONT” of the transition plate is facing the front of the vehicle (Figure 5).

Figure 6

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.

Screw hole

(not shown)

under here

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.

Installing the Reflector

Once the sealant around the cable entry plate has begun to cure, check that there is nothing above the unit that
might prevent the antenna from raising. Follow the steps below to raise the antenna for reflector installation. In some
cases you may be able to install the reflector with the unit in the stowed position; if so, skip to step 3.

Pay attention to the pinch points as the antenna raises. Refer to Figure 1 on page 1 of Installation.

Press [POWER], and hold for two seconds to turn on the TRAV’LER interface box. Wait until the interface box

1

finishes “connecting to antenna.” The TRAV’LER antenna may enter the search routine after ten seconds.

As the antenna raises, press [POWER] and [SELECT] at the

2

same time. The antenna should stop moving.

Line up the four holes on the reflector with the four holes on

3

the mounting bracket. Insert the four reflector bolts through
the four holes on the front of the reflector. Thread a nut onto
each bolt, and tighten the nuts.

Press [POWER] until the interface displays “Stowing...”; this
should lower the antenna to the travel position (Figure 11).

If the Emergency Power Off feature is used, the TRAV’LER antenna may not be in a safe position for travel.

Do not move the vehicle until you are able to stow the unit. See Ready to Travel? above.

Other Notes

Weather and vehicle location can impact the ability of the TRAV’LER antenna to locate all of the required satellites.
Obstructions such as buildings or tree limbs can block the satellite signals and prevent the TRAV’LER antenna from
successfully locating all of the satellites for Multi-Sat Mode. Make sure you have a clear view of the southern sky.

Receivers Compatible with SWM Technology

Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas operate with Multi-switch technology and require separate accessories to
operate with DIRECTV Single Wire Multi-switch (SWM) only technology receivers.

For an up-to-date list of DIRECTV DVR and non-DVR receiver models that are only compatible with SWM technology,
visit www.winegard.com/directv. This website also lists Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas that are compatible
with DIRECTV.

You are now ready to watch TV!

Ready to Travel?

The TRAV’LER antenna is not meant for use while traveling.

To stow the unit when you are ready to travel, press [POWER] one time.
The unit will stop what it is doing and return to the stowed position.

The TRAV’LER interface will not turn off unless the TRAV’LER mount is
successfully stowed. Visually inspect that the antenna is in the stowed/

travel position before traveling.

Do not move the vehicle until the TRAV’LER antenna is stowed.

Stowed/Travel Position

Emergency Manual Stow

Emergency manual stow is meant as a last resort and is not meant for common usage!

Unplug the TRAV’LER interface. Then, remove the black plastic bolt from the back of the mount. Insert a 3/8th socket
extension into this auxiliary drive. Turn the auxiliary drive clockwise to lower the unit. Do not use a drill!

If unsure of your receiver model, check the back of the receiver or the inside front door of the smart card slot.

Model Number

If you have a SWM only technology receiver, Winegard Model SWM-840 SWM kit is available. This SWM kit will allow
for proper SWM technology operation with Winegard mobile satellite TV antennas.
