ok, scott and i just went out at lunch and measured the coach. we did it at ride height (i cranked her up and let her get up to ride height).
i was off a little. the ground to the top of the raised flat roof was 12'3" and the exhaust stack was 9" for a total of 13' even.
the lowered roof at the front was 7" lower at 11'8". my current sat dish is 14" high counting a 2" mounting bracket on the roof.
the sk3005 is ~10" high so if i did it more towards the rear, it would make the coach 13' 1" or so.
the current dish has two coax going through the roof on the passenger side and a single power line on the drivers side going through the roof.
if i did put it further back, then i would just run the wires on the top of the coach and silicone them down and use the current wiring i have.
i didnt yet look at the dish to see how many wires but i assume two coax and a power is sufficient?
