About the service
Watching your favorite channels on the road shouldn't depend on weak signal or a portable antenna balancing on the dashboard. I perform mobile installation of satellite dishes and reinforced TV antennas on the roofs of RVs, campers, and travel trailers—with a complete set of tools and materials right at your home, parking spot, or campground.
The work begins with an inspection of the roof and selection of a mounting point clear of ventilation hatches, air conditioning units, and slide-out mechanisms. Then a reinforced mounting bracket is installed, anchored to the roof's structural frame, not just the covering. After bracket installation, the coaxial cable is routed from the roof unit through a waterproof pass-through element into the cabin—neatly, along existing cable channels or through ceiling cavities, to the television, signal splitter, or amplifier, so the cable doesn't sag anywhere or get pinched by slide-outs and awnings.
Every roof penetration is treated with marine sealant and a protective collar to prevent moisture from entering over many years, despite rain, snow, and road vibration; the sealant is chosen for your roof material to prevent reaction and peeling. Where signal reception is weak, an amplifier is installed and calibrated to raise the incoming signal level to the receiver. After installation, I perform a full check of signal level and quality on each connected television to ensure clear and stable picture.
Most installations on a standard RV roof take one visit; connectors, cable, sealant, and hardware are already included in the cost. I also handle relocation or replacement of an old dish, installation of new cable in place of damaged cable, and adding a second outlet for a television in an additional bedroom or living area.
