OP, Bill is right. You should be able to use your existing roof wiring for a Travler.
However, I think you should take the opportunity to run two more cables (for a DISH Travler) for possible future use.
Here's an install graphic from the Winegard's Travler manual:
This is a closeup of the Travler base where the connections are made:
Finally, this is the cable plate included with a Winegard Travler:
This cable plate is the real reason why I think you should install all the cables (not just one RG6 and the interface box cables). Because after running the Traveler wires under this plate and into the RV and then screwing the plate down on the RV roof, you'll put Dicor over plate and screws.
All this stuff is
hard to remove if you want to add those cables at a later time. I know. I've done it and it's a PITA.
Running these extra cables essentially gives your RV all the capabilities of a house DISH installation. Lots of possibilities.
