Installation of Winegard Traveler

Hello all i have a 2018 Montana 3120. I have a travler dish which has been on a couple of previous rigs, I am getting ready to install and wonder if anyone has had any issues with the domed roof? Also the only available spot seems to be behind the maxx air fan in the kitchen on the start of the down slope in the rear of the rig.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.... i am a visual learner so pictures help!!

Per the installation manual, maximum 5 degree tilt, 3 degree or less as best. Space between dish base and roof cannot have any gaps larger than 3/16 inch.

Winegard sells two different base plates, one attaches to the roof where the dish roller lands on the roof. The other is a complete base plate that covers the base and extends to where the dish roller lands.

I have a 2016 3720 no problem mounting on the roof. I mounted it in front of the rear air conditioner.
