The installation of the dish itself is not difficult. The only hard part is to run the two cables. One is the typical coax, which you may already have, but the other cable is the control cable and is unique to the Winegard dish.
There is a plate that can be removed from the bottom of the dish and only weighs a pound or so. It can be attached to the roof and is the only part that needs to be sealed. Once it is sealed, the dish portion is lifted on to the roof and attached to this plate and the two cables connected. The unit probably weighs about 40 pounds which may be difficult for some to handle. Removing the large dish makes it a little easier to handle.
I've installed two Travellers and it took about 1 1/2 hours each.
