I have a stationary, auto find satellite King Dome on my new Winniebago Journey and I'd like to upgrade it to an in motion unit.
My dealer wants $1500 to do it, Camping World sells the upgrade parts for about $700 plus a $150 installation fee.
Has anybody ever upgraded their satellite dome to in motion? Was it much trouble? I can't see how it could be that big of a deal, I'm pretty handy with tools, my biggest problem would be not falling off the ladder.
Any words of advice would be appreciated!
Best Regards!

Paul, it should not be that difficult. Probably just an extra board.
You will enjoy it though. We pipe the XM channels through our stereo system on road days and we have excellent sound with no radio frequency hassels.

I just had the in motion kit installed in my exisiting King Dome last week. So far, it works great on the highway, but is bothered by trees, bridges and mountains, which is to be expected.
All in all, I'm very happy with it and the grandkids should love to watch their cartoons and other shows while we travel.
I did take a 2 year repair warranty with it as was recommended by a couple of friends who have experience with it. All tolled, the kit was $599, the install was $75, misc. supplies about $30 and the warranty $114. I don't nomally take warranties, but it seemed a good idea on this.
You do have to get the sat signal first while stationary, once you get the signal, you push the "Track" button and away you go. :c)
Best Regards!
