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 reinforced 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, within 3°, for best operation.
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 that will correct tilt up
to 3.7°. For units with severely sloping roofs, more
than one wedge may be needed.
4. When choosing a location for the interior wall plate
controller, consider wiring, ease of viewing the infor-
mation and distance from your television set.
