Mystery cables under rubber roof

Just having my rubber roof replaced on our new 33RL. Talking to the tech he mentioned just behind the antenna was a sticker indicating some wiring beneath. He was unable to tell me for sure what was on the sticker. The sticker is now long gone. Does anyone know what rough in wiring maybe there?

Most likely a wiring connection point for a satellite dish.

Just used mine this week there should be two cable wires and a power wire for the winegard traveler. You can use the cable wires for any dish. The power wiring is specific to the traveler. One to the living room and one for the bedroom so that you can connect a dual lnb satellite dish.

I was thinking Satellite. Thanks for the confirmation. Roof was replaced after a slight encounter with a tree branch. It dented the Aluminum half round on the corner and tore the rubber a bit. It was an insurance repair. Just a warning the rubber roof replacement is not cheap. 11K Canadian.

You can also get info from FR factory service when questions come up.

And as a side note: my 33rl roof was replaced courtesy of FR in year 3 (2015). I had an a/c problem ( main) in year 2 ( beginning). I had the AC replaced at a directed service center in Indiana. They tore the roof with the new a/c. I could not attend FROG Rally until this year. FR Denise Davis ensured we were taken care of this year. All good now. These rubber roofs are vulnerable.

Warning to do it yourselfers. Make darn sure you protect that roof on ANY PROJECT UP THERE.....

I lived with eternabond tape repair in the off year. Worked great.

Our Silverback IS better today than original build. Our personal thanks to Forest River for making us HAPPY CAMPERS!! I am enjoying it right now in beautiful RRanch in Dahlonega, GA.
( been owners in this resort for 9 years....😀
