Installation requirements

To install the Winegard Automatic Digital Satellite Dish,
check with your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may
already be pre-wired for this system, and/or may have a re-
inforced roof area available.
1. Choose a location on the roof that will allow the dish
to raise and rotate without interference from other
roof-mounted equipment.
2. Roof space required for operation is 40”L x 20”W
minimum. Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5 for operating
parameters.
3. The unit must be level for best operation. The unit may
be up to 2.5° off level. For the fastest, most reliable
operation, it should be as close to level as possible.
Use the hydraulic or manual leveling equipment on
your vehicle to level the roof as much as possible.
Before beginning installation: If the mounting area
is not level, you can use a roof wedge, Figure 4.
Winegard’s RW-5000 roof wedge corrects tilt
up to 3.7°. For units with severely sloping roofs,
more than one wedge may be needed. If the roof
wedge is too thick, use stainless or aluminum washers.
4. When choosing a location for the interior wall plate
control panel, consider wiring, ease of viewing wall
plate and distance from your television set.
