Exclamation Installation of Winegard SK SWM3 Rotating HD Dish

I am looking to install a Winegard SK SWM3 Direct TV HD dish on my 2010 American Coach. There are 3 AC units, a Trac Vision Dish , and a large solar panel already on the roof. I have an idea where I would like to install this - but would really like to see where other people have already installed their units on their roofs. IF you have a new Coach with all the "Stuff" already on the roof and STILL installed one of these HD dishes - PLEASE post a pic or two of where you installed yours ~ !

The installation instructions have measurements you need to use to find a mounting location. Winegard also sells a large mounting plate to mount the SWM-3 to. I used that which I could seal down good with eternabond and then the SWM-3 mounted to pre-drilled holes. The measurements are not completed at all.

I'd get rid of the Tracvision Dome and mount it there.

Agree with suggestion to remove the Trac Vision and put it there. That is what I did on my Allure when we got it in April. I installed the Direct TV version of the same dish. With 3 roof AC's, roof vents, etc. the only space left would have been to mount it near the rear of the coach if I had wanted to keep the Trac Vision. However, could not see the desirability of keeping Trac Vision with the Winegard.
