Purchase and install Winegard SK SWM3

I think I'm finally about to pull the trigger and order the Winegars Traveler SWM 3 to replace my, about to be defunct, Kingdome.

These questions ar for anyone who had done this job.

How good are the instructions that come with the dish?

Looking at these optional add on items I know I will need the support mounting plate but the question is, do I need the communication cable extension and/or the roller wear plate?

Also, where does the communication cable need to run to? Does it run to a receiver, the PI or somewhere else?

    Here is a link to their dealer network.
    https://rfmogul.com/dealers.html
    They didn't make it easy to find out where the dealers are as you have to click on each State one at a time to see if there are any there.
    PA, none
    NY, none
    OH, one
    WV, none
    VA, one
    NC and SC, one, the same one.
    GA, none

    OK, I'm bored of clicking on the map........

    I looked at the same map. Found the one I was talking about above but I wanted to go see what the location is like before I decide. This is a place I've never heard of before.

    Many of the RF Mogul dealers are mobile (some mobile only with no store front). You might give them a call and see if they will come to you.
