I read all the reviews on this model as well as the ones for the Direct TV version. I ordered on line with Amazon on Thursday and the dish arrived on Friday. I first installed the SKA-008 on the roof of the coach because the roof was thin and was not flat.I removed a ceiling light and a couple of stereo speakers so I could examine the roof and decide where to bring the cables in from the roof. I drilled a hole above one of the speakers and brought the cables inside the coach. From there it was just a few inches to a cabinet where I was able to run the cables to the location where I place the Dish receiver and where I wanted to place the Winegard controller. The most difficult part of the job was to get the satellite dish onto the roof of the coach without help. I placed an extension ladder on the side of the coach and walked up carrying the SK-1000 to the side of the ladder. Once on the roof I screwed the unit to the SKA-008 with the supplied screws and sealed everything with Dicor Sealant. While I was on the roof of the coach I powered up the unit and watched it search for and find all three satellites. It took maybe four minutes to lock in the first time. After feeding the cables inside through the hole I had drilled I went inside and finished the installation. I again had the unit find the satellites and the second time was much quicker, maybe two minutes. I brought the receiver from inside the house and connected it to the SK-1000 and immediately was able to watch TV or play one of the prerecorded programs on the DVR. It was a lot of work doing the installation but I am sure I saved at least $300 doing it myself. I could not be happier and would recommend either the Dish model or the Direct TV one to any coach owner. My only regret is not doing this sooner. My next project will be to remove the King Dom from the roof and through it in the trash.
Installation was pretty easy. The unit works great so far. It does seem to take it's time doing it's dance upon powering up or down, however I can understand why they programmed it in this way.
If I power it up after parking, it will have locked on to the satellites before I am done hooking up the RV to shore power/water.
What I like the most in comparison to my old in-motion dome, this one, once locked in, stays put, no humming from the drive motors when RV is stationary, and reception is great on all three birds. Would buy again.
There is no longer any frustration as to whether it's the dome dish or the Wally because now with the Travler it actually tells me that I am "locked-on" to the 3 DISHnet satellites.
And, once locked-on, my Wally (or Hopper3 if I desire) takes just a few minutes to "acquire signal" and then downloads the guide if it hasn't in a while.
The Travler is simple to operate, both turning on and shutting down in stow position.
And Amazon has the best pricing
I also ordered the roof support mounting plate for my TPO roof.
It's installed on a '17 Thor Vegas 24.1

But when we travelled south, California, Arizona, Nevada, aiming that portable dish was easy. Just set all the co-ordinates, and reset the receiver, and all was good, first time, every time we moved. But we have grandkids back in Washington State, and using the rv dome, worked with one satellite at a time, was totally unsatisfactory using the dual imput receiver for recording. I dreaded the process, and sure enough, when we travelled far enough north, aiming that portable dish was an ordeal again. Frustrating. Finally I was just fed up with it all.
The Amazon process was easy, ordered the Trav'ler, it arrived in three days. 60 pound box, free shipping, love that PRIME membership. At first, I built a little wood platform to mount the Trav'ler on the ground, hooked the signal cable, powered up the control cable, and the unit came to life!. Buzzed a bit, aimed, pointed, rotated, like a little robot. With-in a few minutes, all three satellites were tuned in. Fantastic.
After a month, removed the dome, and installed the Trav'ler on the roof of the RV. It stows shorter than the dome was. We arrive at a campsite. Park, turn on the Trav'ler power, and with-in a few minutes, all three satellites are tuned in again. Fantastic. When ready to leave, hit the power button twice, and the Trav'ler stows itself, and you are ready to head down the road once again. A great product, signal is great, and it is very solidly built. I am very happy with this product, and the process of buying from Amazon.
