I have installed two different Trav'lers. I was lucky that in both occasions I was able to mount them directly above the entertainment center. if that is not feasible in your case then srosa's method sounds pretty good.

+1 The installation itself was very straight forward in both cases. I can also confirm that the hardest part for me was getting the dish on to the roof by myself. If there is a next time, I will get some help with that part. Winegard builds these dishes to last and they're pretty heavy.
One more suggestion for the OP would be to check with the trailer manufacturer (or a brand specific forum for orphans) to find the recommended dish/dome location. My Excel has a reinforced section of the roof for this purpose.
