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.

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. I would like a traveler and it is sometime in the future. Many rv s come equipped with a roof mounted tv antenna for over the air reception. If you did not catch it in the video here is a link to my project webpage.

One problem with having the traveler is that i presently have only one satellite line coming into the rv. I ran that wire down into the cabinet with the others and sealed everything up with more dicor and the plastic shroud i kept when removing the system off our old rig. We drilled a hole just large enough for the coaxial cable through the bed and threaded the rg6 coaxial cable up and out into the camper connected the cable box and then connected the satellite dish to the other side through the access point and done. It takes about 30 minutes to assemble the pieces and attach to the roof once the proper location is established.

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. In this video i used advanced techniques to remedy a bad satellite coax. In order to have the full functionality of the traveler a second line would somehow need to be run.
