Safari Simba 30sfs 2009-Dome Satellite Installation

[marioross]

Good morning,
I have a Safari Simba 30sfs 2009, and just purchased a Winegard Roadtrip SD dome satellite.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice on installation - size of hole to drill, how deep, positioning, etc.? I understand from Monaco that the M/H is prewired, but not for 12 volt. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

I recently installed a Winegard Travel'r on my 32' MH. It was pookey (non-leveling), then secure with about 12 screws. I ran the cables from the antenna located about mid point on the RV (just ensure it can see the sky as the Winegard instructions specify (nothing w/in 36" over 12" high as I recall - it will be different for your smaller antenna)), to the front of the MH in plastic channel (Home Depot) secured with clips every four feet (length of a section of channel). At the front I used the Winegard plate (about 3.5" square and secured by 6/8 screws) with lots of pookey (non leveling). As I recall the holes were 1/4-inch (may elongate slightly) for the cable(s). If you have XM or S, there is room to also run that antenna cable under the plate. If you don't have a plate, I'd try to buy one from Winegard even for a different antenna install; it works very well.
Power from the control box is provided to the antenna through the (4 conductor?) cable.
I believe you can down load the Instructions at the Winegard site if you don't have them.
I can highly recommend the Travel'r as it installed in about 2 hours or so and worked out of the box perfectly.
