sg47619 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I have a 01 Monaco Dynasty Jack, as anyone removed the large satellite off the roof of one of these ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nolaguy Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Following: We to have a Travlr dish that came with our 2005 Safari Cheetah. We do not have Direct and no desire to get it. Current technology allows us to stream or we watch from a CD collection. I have thought about removing the dish to free up real estate and possibly improve aerodynamics but have been fearful of uncovering a large hole and not knowing how to repair it. Would also be grateful for guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDCrow Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 The big dome? Mine is gone, they just left the mounts there so there were no holes to get leaks. On the traveler. My wires do not go straight down, they go out. I doubt there is a hole under mine. Where are your wires? They make a base plate to go on to help mount the traveler. If you don’t already have it, you could use it to cover over any ring you find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayj1 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Removed mine 3 years ago, left the brackets, sealed around them with dicor and eternabond tape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDCrow Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 I’d venture to say there is not a hole under then. There wasn’t with the big dome sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 If a Traveller, the turret unmounts from the base plate (the plate with sealant around it in the picture) and if you leave the plate on roof, you will have no holes. Cables don't go through it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman3 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) On my 2000 Dynasty, I suddenly got a dreaded water leak in the cabinets above the drivers seat. When looking for it I discovered the problem at the satellite dish. So off it came. Previously, we had redone the roof with Dicor’s product, so you can see the outline very well. I just zip tied the cables to the horn… I probably should deal with those someday. The new roof space soon found another solar panel. (To help with the Starlink being on 24/7 - except when traveling).Don’t be afraid to take it off. Good Luck Edited June 15, 2023 by Rocketman3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution 1nolaguy Posted June 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted June 15, 2023 Thanks IVAN K. I did not realize the turret would separate from the base. I guess you just remove the 8+nuts/bolts at the perimeter. SG47619, my wires also go out front and through the roof cap above the windshield. In our case the entry point is covered with a mountain of sealant so I am not sure how big the actual hole through the roof is, I am guessing the various cables can be cut off or pushed back through the hole and then the hole sealed with metal or bondo etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1nolaguy Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Rocketman3, you removed screws from the base plate and covered holes with dicor? How heavy was the Traveller to remove from the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayj1 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 It wasn't the traveler it was the round dome in motion satellite. It wasn't too heavy, maybe 50 lbs. I had a friend help me. We tied a couple of straps around it lowered it over the driver's side upside down to have a smooth surface slide down the side of the coach.

bgfleck Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 We took off the King Dome in motion satellite. Left the 4 mounting brakets. No hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg47619 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 This is what mine looks like. I now have bigger fish to fry, I have water leaking from around the aqua hot exhaust pipe, I just got it out of its bedroom and was getting ready to leave Saturday looks like plans have changed. Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Blackmon Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 A medium size uhaul or box store moving box with the top open will let it hit the ground without exploding when dropped over the front. Or you can carry down the ladder. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I changed out the PO's large, 2006 in motion satellite that wasn't working. Just threw it down to the ground when I unhooked it. One guy at the storage unit was startled. I guess a warning would've been nice, lol. He was nowhere near me, but it was loud. I covered those holes w eternabond and dicor.
