Cracks in Dish Travler

[Mike and Amy]

I have replaced the dish two times on my Winegard Travler system. I installed it two years ago. This dish cracked between the actual dish and its mounting arm, see photos. As you can see it cracked completley around two holes and bad cracks around the others. I heard a noise coming from the roof area near the dish while driving, I stopped the motorhome and got on the roof. Luckily it didnt fly off and hit my Jeep or any other vehicle in the area. I have installed two other Winegard dishes on previous motorhomes and did not have any problems with them. Winegard replaced the first cracked dish for free, but would not replace the second one. Luckily I had a spare one from my home dish which was upgraded a year ago. I have since modified the way the dish mounts to the bracket with large washers and rubber washers added. I mainly wanted to put a shout out to other users that they should check these dishes for cracks so no damage is done if it flys off going down the road. Any others who have had similiar problems please chime in as I am always willing to learn new fixes.

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on mine

It would be interesting to find out from Winegard, if this is a known problem.

I had the same thing happen on my 16 Anthem. Winegard replaced mine. Mine had about a 16th of an inch holding it on. Can't image the damage this could cause if it was to come off going down the road.
