Integrate Coax Roof Satellite Into Rv

Many of the newer model rv s come equipped with a dedicated line for satellite tv use.

Integrate coax roof satellite into rv.

If you did not catch it in the video here is a link to my project webpage. I would like a traveler and it is sometime in the future. In order to have the full functionality of the traveler a second line would somehow need to be run. It takes about 30 minutes to assemble the pieces and attach to the roof once the proper location is established.

In this video i used advanced techniques to remedy a bad satellite coax. We had an extra xm satellite radio magnetic car roof antenna so i decided to mount that to a small metal plate i adhered to the roof with sealant. All of that makes the set up pretty easy you put the satellite antenna on the ground unless you installed it on your rv s roof making sure you have a clear view of the southern sky then you connect it via coax cable to your receiver and from then on it ll take only a few minutes 15 minutes for it to automatically lock on to the signal coming from the satellite. One problem with having the traveler is that i presently have only one satellite line coming into the rv.

A few tools are needed like a drill motor bits an open end wrench or coax connector tool and the appropriate sealant for the roof type. However older models will need to have a dedicated line installed as the satellite signal will be disrupted if passed through splitters and or amplifiers. Many rv s come equipped with a roof mounted tv antenna for over the air reception.
