Before choosing a location for the antenna, contact your RV dealer or manufacturer. Your RV may be pre-wired or have a
reinforced area for this system.
When choosing a location for the antenna, keep in mind that the antenna must be mounted on or parallel to the
centerline of the coach with the front of the antenna (the mounting bracket) facing the front of the RV.
Choose a location on the roof of the RV that meets the following requirements:
Offers enough support for a secure installation
Has a minimum roof space (clearance) of 125.3 cm x 43.2 cm
for the stowed antenna
Allows antenna to raise and rotate without interference
from other roof-mounted equipment
• clearance distance of 61 cm from antenna to the front of the vehicle
• clearance radius of 116 cm needed for antenna to raise to vertical position
• clearance distance of 26 cm needed from antenna to nearest obstruction and to the edge of the roof
Is within five degrees of level (for best operation, must be within three degrees of level)
• For sloped/rounded roofs, Winegard recommends model RW-2000 exterior roof
wedge (sold separately) to level installation.
• An interior wedge, IW-5000 (sold separately), is also available.
