Quick Reference Guide

Your Winegard RoadTrip satellite System has been designed to be the most user-friendly

Mobile Satellite Antenna on the market today. Upon installation of the antenna, or after

changing satellite service provider, simply set the switches inside of the dome to the settings

shown in the Operation manual. These switches enable the dish to locate the proper satellite

for your service provider, and, for the RoadTrip SDi In-Motion system, to be set for the proper

installation option. Simply set the switch, and forget it! Your Winegard RoadTrip Satellite

Antenna will locate the proper satellite with just the flip of a switch.

Mounting Instructions

It is essential to mount your RoadTrip Automatic System in the proper position and orientation

on your RV roof to ensure proper operation. Choose a location on your roof clear of

obstruction and close to your receiver and power source.

To ensure proper tracking with your RoadTrip SDi, you must mount the unit so that the unit is

centered on the centerline and cables exit either towards the front or back of the RV. See

Figure 1c below.

IMPORTANT! Do not install this system

in the rain, or under any wet conditions. Mois-

ture may affect electronics and void your

warranty!

1. For best performance and to reduce signal ac-

quisition time, park vehicle on a level surface;

level the RV.

2. Select a level spot on your roof for installation.

Using the chart,

determine the

minimum distances

to other equipment.

WARNING: Level the base front to back and side

to side. If base is not level the RoadTrip may re-

quire more time to locate the correct satellite or

may not locate the correct satellite.

• Be sure no roof-mounted equipment is

blocking the satellite “line of sight”, Fig. 3

Installation

Install in DRY conditions only!

3. After selecting location for unit (see number 2),

put the unit on the centerline of the vehicle.

4. Position base so that cables exit either toward

the rear (Mounting Option A) or toward the front

(Mounting Option B) of vehicle.

Electronics box MUST be parallel to the center

line of the vehicle. See page 4.

6. Clean roof area where the base feet will be

attached to the roof. Do not erase your marks!

7. Put approved sealant in the areas marked

for the base feet. Place base feet on top of the

sealant and screw down with the (3) #10

screws for each foot.

8. After all base feet are secured to roof, put

sealant around edge of feet and over screws.

5. Place the unit on the roof in its permanent loca-

tion and mark around each base foot, Figure 4.

The distance from the edge of the roof to the

rear corner of the foot should be equal on both

sides of the dish to ensure proper installation.

Installation

1. Connect coax cables and power wire to RV pre-

wire harness. Connect gray coax to pre-wire coax for

primary receiver. Connect white coax to pre-wire coax

for secondary receiver. Connect power cable to pre-

wire power cable. See Figure 2.

2. Place cable-entry plate over hole and cables.

Screw in place. Seal plate and screw holes with ap-

proved sealant (not included).

Cable entry installation —

INSTALLING THE POWER SWITCH

1. Choose a location to install the RoadTrip power

ON/OFF switch. Remember when selecting a location

that you will need to run the +12VDC power cable

from the RoadTrip to the switch. Be sure the

switch is in the OFF position before continuing.

See Figure 7 page 9.

Wall or panel mount: Drill 1-1/4” hole, pull wires

through wall or panel.

2. Connect the ground wire from the vehicle and the

BLACK ground wire from the RoadTrip together,

using large yellow flag connector.

3. Connect the YELLOW flag connector to

the silver spade on the switch.

4. Connect the RED wire from the RoadTrip to the

small RED flag connector.

5. Connect small RED flag connector to center

spade on switch.

6. Connect the +12 V power wire from the vehicle to

a small RED flag connector.

7. Connect small RED flag connect to isolated

spade on switch.

10. The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 1 meter

cable running through one of the connectors.

Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-

mended you place the GPS antenna 3 feet from

dome and away from any other obstruction.

The recommended location for the GPS antenna is

based on having a level location and a clear view of

the sky for the best satellite signal acquisition. Do not

secure GPS antenna to roof at this time.

IMPORTANT! The GPS must be located minimum of

3 feet away from obstructions on roof of vehicle. An-

tenna must have a clear view of the sky for proper

operation.
