KVH r5sl satelite dish cover

[john97618]

I am new to posting here. So i am sorry if this isn't the proper place to post this. I lost the cover to my motorhome roof mounted satelite dish on the way home from Florida this past week. I am looking for a replacement cover. KVH says the unit is old and they don't have a replacement cover. Any suggestions on how I can find one or create one on my own would be appreciated.

That antenna has been obsolete for many years, so finding new parts will be just about impossible. One thing you might try is advertising on Craig's List for a complete used cheap R5SL or R4SL unit. Both units use the same dome.


Or buy a new up to date antenna.

I have an old R5SL dish that I removed when I switched to Dish Network. I almost lost it on the interstate one day and all except one or two of the mounting bolt locations are broken out. I cut some 2" lengths of 1/8" aluminum strips to put on top of the broken-out bolt locations. It held the dome securely the rest of the time I used it. I looked everywhere for a replacement dome but never found one.

I would be glad to give you the dome for just the shipping cost, but don't have any idea where I would find a box that it would fit in. UPS might have one, I would just have to check.
