A couple of items: Noisy AC and satellite prep

Howdy from Texas! We recently purchase a 2014 Columbus 365RL and I want to add a Winegard Slimeline Traveler Satelite dish to the roof but I haven't been able to find any info for a 'prep' area and where the cables would run. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

On another note. The front Dometic AC vibrates like crazy on the left side of the roof. I have read a bunch of info about this but I was under the impression that this was fixed. Will the grommet and anti vibration kit do the trick?

from out in the country near Sherman, Texas.

I can't help with your problems, either... but I'd make these suggestions. 1.) If you don't find the info you need doing a 'search', post your two issues in two separate threads and away from the Welcome Mat. 2.) We camp around trees enough that we can't mount our antenna on our trailer - we need to keep ours portable so that we can move it to get a good line-of-sight to the satellites.

Welcome to the forums!

X2 on what Mr. Dan suggested. Some of the more experienced members tend to hang out in select forums and often threads will get more attention.

Paco - I installed a satellite dish on the roof of my previous 5th wheel. That thing was the best #$%^&^% tree finder you ever saw! IMO, you'd be happier with a tailgater portable dish. You can put it where needed to get a good signal without having to re-hitch the trailer.

Howdy, y'all and welcome! We served in the US Air Force and was stationed in two wonderful cities in Texas...San Antonio (85-90) and San Angelo (95-00). (My youngest daughter is our little Texan, born in San Antonio.)

We also had a traveler on our last 5th wheel and loved it. Yes, trees are a problem. The tailgater, from my understanding, does not receive Direct Tv 'HD' programming. Thanks for your response though! Encouraging!!!
