Trav'ler installation

I finally got sick of my trackvision R4 dome, and ordered a trav'ler SK1000. The fedex man will bring it today :D
If anyone else is shopping for one, PPLmotorhomes is at $1209 including 9.99 for fedex shipping.

So I'll need to remove the R4 and it's wiring, and install the new dish. Any tips or suggestions are very welcome.

This line pasted from the manual To prevent water from getting into the mount base, use a solid line of approved sealant to connect the marks in the shape of the base.

What would be an "approved sealant"?
I hate silicon. Have a tube of dicor, don't think it would be the thing to use in this application though. Permatex #2? or?

If your dome was factory installed you may not be able to pull the existing cables out from the hole where they enter the roof. If not use those coax cables to connect to the Trav'ler and you will only need to drill an additional small hole somewhere to drop the control cable anywhere in the coach (does not need to be where the receivers are located) where 120V power is available.
If the dome was installed by the dealer or any after market provider then you should be able to remove the dome and use the existing cabling to pull new cabling from the Trav'ler inside the coach. It's a pretty easy job either way.
