I have a new to me 2009 Mountain Aire with a Winegard Traveler satellite and Direct TV. The dish is functioning and locked on the satelites however I am trying to figure out how to install the receiver. I found the satellite feed in the mid ship cabinet but do not see any cables going back tp to the TV's other than the large round multi pin cables that do not fit the receiver. Should I have a BOMB?

I see you're not having much luck in getting a answer on your question, since this is the second time around you have asked them. I'm not much help either. Maybe if you can post some pictures of the cabinet and the wiring coming in from the Trav'ler someone may be able to give you some ideas on how to hook it up.

Try posting in the technology section, there's a bunch of people there who are up on Satellite TV

I have 2 coaches in the last 9 months. The first was a nightmare when it came to the satellite, it was a dish. My newest is direct TV with the traveler like yours. You'll need to do some tracing of your coax to get the fastest answers. The best tool I've found and have used constantly is the line Tracer tool from home depot. It's the Sperry Lan Tracer for 40 bucks. To give you a starting point trace the coax from the traveler to direct TV splitter. Unscrew the coax on the out side of the splitter hook up the Tracer tool then go to the back side of your TV to locate the correct coax for the direct TV. Hope this helps.

Sounds like you may be missing the box that has switches to change from Sat. to cable and connects all the TV's. Not sure what the box is called but our box has the output for the 4 different televisions and also what your input is.
