Please Help Me Identify this thing on my 364TS Roof

Does anyone know what the small white dome towards the front of the unit is. It seems to be a bit left of the center line about 12 inches behind the antenna. The RV is a Georgetown 364 TS.

I attached a few photos. I am hoping this is an access point for Satellite Dish, as I want to install the Winegard Trav'ler DTV SWM Dish.

I appreciate any input you can provide.

Thanks

Like it was said on an earlier thread it is just a cover of your satellite dish power and coax if you ever need to add one.

or

It is the new micro mini satellite dish for all new Georgetown's.

Maybe the government is installing a GPS tracking device --- they want to track how much fun you'll be having!

Thanks for the Input

So next question, how does it work, does that piece get removed, and another piece put in it's place with the cables run ?

I am going to try to find some install videos to see if I can see how it works.

Reason I am concerned is I am getting the dish installed during the middle of my vacation. I need the folks at camping world in Myrtle Beach to finish it in one day, so my family will have a place to sleep at night.

They should know that it is only a cover for the coax and 2 wire 12 volt power. I'm sure they can do that in a few hours. You always have the right to ask them how it will be installed?
You tell them if you want them to use the existing coax and power or will they mount in another location and tack the power and coax to your existing roof to this location.

If at all possible I would ask them to install at the cap location and use the coax run that goes down to your switch. You should also see a red and white wire which is the wires to the roof for future powering of the dish if needed.

I'm sure others will give you better advise if they already had this done.

Could also be a satellite radio antenna? Prob can tell by seeing what kind of cable is coming inside under that dome.

It's wireless, so just toss the satellite up there and secure with a couple of bungy cords.
