If you look carefully at the roofline of our coach, you will see a satellite dish antenna, roughly midway, peering out at the southern sky. This is our Winegard Trav’ler SK-1000 automatic multi-satellite TV antenna. This unit caused me a lot of grief. It works fine now but I will share my story in the hopes that if you have a similar problem, you can find an easier way to get it solved. The problem was an EL Motor Home Failure.

Let’s see how I got to that problem. One of many tasks for the new motorhome was to connect the Bell Expressvu receiver to the audio visual system. That part was relatively straightforward. Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable to the rear of the receiver, connect the HDMI cable to the output of the receiver and the input of the coach’s system splitter — in my bay everything was clearly marked — and plug the unit into an available electrical outlet. Now for some satellite TV. First, power up the Winegard unit. The power up sequence worked fine.

I can hear the unit moving and automatically positioning itself to find the Bell satellites. From what I know about satellites, which is very little actually, Bell leases two of them: Nimiq 3 and Nimiq 6.
Nimiq 3 is at 82 degrees west and carries the standard definition channels. Nimiq 6 is at 91.1 degrees west and carries the high definition channels. The Winegard dish found both satellites and showed that it was locked on *82 and *91. Or so I thought. I turned everything on and the satellite received showed an Error 15 on the TV screen.
Basically, the receiver was not seeing the satellite. How can this be? So I consulted the Winegard manual.
With hindsight, this turned out to be a huge mistake. The manual had a significant omission, namely the type of antenna. More on that one in a moment. Here is the page on how to configure the dish for Bell Expressvu: Notice step 6: Press the Select button until the asterisk is next to “SM Mount,” and then press “ENTER.” And notice step 8: Press “SELECT” until the asterisk is next to “SM ExpressVu.” Press the Enter button. When I looked at my Winegard unit, it said “LG ExpressVu” and not “SM ExpressVu.” Obviously the unit had not been configured for Bell TV. Or so I thought. I followed all of the instructions and then I got to step 15: The TRAV’LER antenna will enter the search routine as part of its normal operation.
Only there was no normal operation. Instead I received a flashing EL MOTOR HOME FAILURE on my Winegard unit.
That cannot be good. I went outside and I could see that the satellite dish was pointed straight up to the sky. My first reaction? I must have broken the antenna. My second reaction? How do I get it stowed? After all, I cannot drive the coach with the antenna sticking straight up into the air.

Back into the coach I go. But nothing I do stows the antenna. All I get is a flashing EL MOTOR HOME FAILURE. There is a troubleshooting section in the manual but it does not show an EL MOTOR HOME FAILURE error. It does show something close, an EL HOME FAILURE. Here is what you should do when you see that error: Something is preventing the mount from raising as it attempted to find the HOME position.
