This device is in my upper cabinet on the front passenger side on my 96 Monaco Executive. If you press the button the number 5 displays, then the number 4 and it doesn't do anything else.

Do you have a satellite dish on the roof? It looks like my dish elevation indicator.

Yes I do, there is a KVH In-Motion satelite dish up there.

That is a Winegard OLD Manual Sat dish elevation indicator. If you have a KVH dome now, that device is useless. It does NOT have anything to do with a KVH product. Doug

Mine is not a in-motion dish. When I crank the dish up the digits show the elevation of the dish even if the coach is unlevel.

Great info.

Is yours a white plastic dome or a actual dish?

It is a small dish with single lnb. Looks like a home dish, but smaller. I guess you have to change satellites to watch all the channels. I have not used it, because I got aggravated with my sat. provider and cancelled. Mine has a 9v battery inside the box that powers the readout.

Nope, the back side is solid with no connections.

Sorry, but my first thought was that you've got 4 seconds left until you hear a big BOOM!!

I'll assume that there is no lettering on the back or inside it, that might give you some help?
