Winegard Traveler Satellite VS ..installation.....

[mrsportys]

We want a traveler 1000 satellite , period...I hear so many problem stories about the other dome units.
I contacted Fleetwood and decided I wanted the Traveler installed by the same guys who built the coach. They quoted me 10-12 hours of labor to install!!!!
Why? It seems the Fleetwood bounder comes prewired with 2 coax cables (rf1 and rf2) and a power supply harness.
I confirmed this with Winegard as they say the Traveler requires a 6 wire data harness that needs to be installed... thus the extra time quoted by Fleetwood.

Also, my 2014 bounder has never had a satellite on its roof so this a new install.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks!! :h

Unless there is something odd about the Bounder installation should take no more than 2 hours. Typical labor charge is around 300.00 including misc hardware and such.

Find someone else.

Why in all that is holy would you want Fleetwood to do the install? That is plane foolish IMHO. Installation is not hard. Several people have done their own with no problems. If your afraid, any good shop can do it in about 4-5 hours. BTW the control cable is no bigger than a standard RG6 coax.
