It is highly unlikely that you need the Thin Roof Mounting Plate. The Trav'ler base has plenty of area to mount to your roof, assuming you can walk on your roof.
The instructions are very good.
The control cable from the Trav'ler is 30' long and can be placed ANYWHERE that 120V power is available. It does not need to be near anything satellite related. The coax cable will need to run from the antenna to the receiver location. If you only have 1 receiver then the logical location for the controller is nearby so you can drill just one hole for the coax and the control cable. You should not need the extension as most installations will be within the 30' range of the existing control cable.
I do recommend the roller plate but if you have any piece of thin aluminum sheet or anything of about 4" square you can caulk that in the same place instead.
