Couplers

The following are additional misc parts (not pictured) that can also be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes:

  1. Rubber grommet to protect the cable where it exits the aluminum tube.
  2. Plastic ties to secure the Antenna wire to the ladder and other areas of the RV.
  3. 14 GA ground wire (about 4 feet or less)
  4. Ground lug for attaching the ground wire to the frame

The following image shows the black antenna ground component of the Hawking Antenna Kit. Note that the 14 GA ground wire attaches to this. The other end must be attached to the frame of your RV with the ground lug mentioned above.

Regarding your router/repeater, remove the antenna that came with the unit, and connect the other antenna connection that came with the Hawking Kit, as pictured below.

Antenna Ground

Pictured below is the ground wire connected to the frame. Ideally this would be an unpainted portion of the frame.
