    Has anyone had problems with a winegard  Road Trip t4  satellite mounded in the front of the front AC unit just behind the  front cowling that sticks up 8" on the roof of a 40' LXE

    I was looking through the satellite documentation and it looks like the satellite clearances have not been maintained by fleetwood. I am having problems with the unit finding all 3 satellites, it finds 2 but cannot find all 3. My service is through Dish, satellites are 110, 119, and 129 

    I have checked everything, I have been in different locations, it always seems to pick up 2 of the 3 satellites needed.

    If anyone has information on this issue, it would be greatly  appreciated

    Just a thought, when we traveled to the northern eastern states we had to change settings in our dish to see different satellites. There are Eastern and Western arc satellites and dependent on where you are the Western arc are too low to the horizon to pick up reliably. We live in Georgia and the dealer set us for Western arc which worked very well until we were in North Jersey and then we had lots of grief. Talked to tech support and they walked us through changing the arc settings and bingo, back in service.

    Several of the satellites that were installed by Fleetwood became obsolete within the last year. DISH and Direct TV discontinued connecting to them. We replaced ours last year with two smaller ones which now work great. I guess we are all subject to technology changes and they will just continue to need to have newer technology.

    Up date 

    turns out it was my Wally, I went back and forth with techs from dish and techs from winegard!

    turns out the winegard people were right, purchased a new Wally everything worked fine!
