2015 335DS Satellite

[San Diego]

Does anyone know if the 2015 335DS is pre-wired for a roof mounted satellite dish?

[San Diego]

I emailed Forest River and asked if the Georgetown is pre-wired for a satellite dish. I was pleasently surprised when someone from Forest River called me within fifteen minutes or so with a response. The answer is yes. If this is any testament to the response I will get from their customer service going forward, I will be a very happy customer.

I finally did it and you are right. The coax cable wire they run is just long enough to go from the cap on the roof to the cabinet above the passenger seat. I don't know how they expect someone to run the cable to a satellite dish.

I had to run all new power and coax cable but it is up and running. Additionally, to get HD to the television I installed the Iogear wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver to two televisions. Works great.

The vent cap above the driver's is sealed with calk. Peel back the call and you will find the screws holding the vent on the roof. I took the vent off and replaced it with the cover provided with the satellite dish.

The other end of the coax cable is behind the panel over the passenger seat. I removed the outlets in that compartment to gain access to the cable. Ultimately I removed the panel in the center compartment and made things a lot easier. Let me know if you get stuck and I will try and help the best I can.

What type of Sat dish did you use and where did you place your receiver?

[2cruzN]

Also from San Diego with a Georgetown 335, was thinking of having RV Solutions install dish, what type of Sat dish did you use, what type of receiver, and how do you get to the HDMI inputs on the back of the TV over the fireplace?

[San Diego]

I used the Winegard Roadtrip Mission in-motion dish and Dish VIP 211Z receiver. I used the Iogear wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver. The TV above the fireplace is removed by removed the screws above and below the television.

[San Diego]

I mounted the wireless HDMI receiver in the cabinet above the TV and ran the HDMI cable through the hole that the power cable goes through.

Perfect. that sound like the way I will go.
