CW in Las Vegas installed our Travler several years ago. On our rig, the OTA booster switch is in the front/right cabinet in the bedroom, so after mounting the dish in the center of the roof, about also the center of the rig front to rear, they brought the cabling over the roof to a point just above the bedroom cabinet. They used a special plate from Winegard that, along with sealant, allows the cable to enter from the roof without any problem of leaking. The dish control, along with the satellite box is in the cabinet. They used the preinstalled antenna coax to bring signal to the livingroom TV, where we have a second satellite box. The OTA antenna connects to each of the satellite boxes also. This setup allows viewing different shows on the seperate TV's. The cabling on the roof seemed strange at first, but they used screwed down cable clamps every couple of feet, and used self leveling sealant on all of them, and nothing leaks. It would have been nice to have cable or conduit installed from the factory for these satellite antennas, but there are so many ways to get satellite, it would be too costly. Good luck, and be safe on the roof.
