Dave , I've watched two of the Slimlines installed. Don't think it would be too hard 'secially since the coach is alreay wired for it. I had mine put up front so I have alot of cable on the roof but its all clamped down and sealed so no problem. You just want to use lots of sealer.

I'm thinking the "wing Guard" slime line. This system seems to have a power cord going to it. I know I have 2 cables up on the roof but how do I get the power cord up there?
I read somewhere here that the control cable is already in the roof but I dont know where. We had them run a cable down thu the bathromwallto the basement and put the control there. That way it's not in the bedroom and I've it part of the set up and tear down while the wife is doing her thing inside.Search the forum it's in here and it wasn't too long ago.

From the factory on the original RL's the control/power wire might be behind behind the bedroom tv and the other end under one of the 2 cable ends on the roof. I still removed the bathroom skylight and fished additional coax through the roof and down the wall behind the shower into the basement. I mounted my controller in the toolbox cubby where there already is power to plug in.
Explore moved my roof mount winegard from my Open Range to my 36RL and we had him mount the control box in the bottom of the coat closet by the door. He had no problem with the installation of my unit since it's prewired. Personally I would find a good dealer like Explore and have it done and set up properly with my sound system.
Fathog99 when you went to Explore did they have to run new wire for the Dish or did they use the ones all ready on the roof? Only reason Im asking is I inquired the other day about having a dish installed on the roof and they told me they would have to run 2 more lines and it would be a bout 3 g’s! I told them that I have wires all ready run but he keep telling me that they would have to add 2 more wires.

The only wireExplore USAran was for the control box to raise and lower the dish. As far as I know all the rest of the wiring harness was there. The 36RL is already wired for a roof sat dish. If nothing else go to Camping World. They installed the dish on my Open Range and had to run all the wiring and I'm sure it was less than $250.
I'm having the Direct TV dish installed as we speak for $300. Not sure if they have to run additional wiring or not, but the dealer already new in advanced Redwood typically have cable wiring problems.
