I have a roof mounted KVH in motion sat dish and want to replace it w/ a new Winegard Traveler. MY question is will the existing prewired KVH cables/wires (and inside switch box Newmar installed) work on the traveler without adding any new ones?
You will be able to use the existing coax cables but you will need to run the new control cable that comes with the Trav'ler. This is a six wire setup that must be used and runs to the Winegard controller inside the coach. The 48V used to power the motors plus all the signals required to operate the antenna are sent through this wiring harness and cannot be substituted with any other wiring.
It makes no difference whether you are Dish or DirecTV, the wiring will be exactly the same.
You will need only one coax cable running to each receiver so the coax you have now should already go where a receiver is expected to be.
