Nothing on the build sheet and the Thor site on Omni says satellite antenna mounting bracket.
Inverter? It has the Xantrex Freedom and inside control panel. Does the inverter only turn on when not connected to shore power and does it have to be turned on each time?
There are no roof gutters or roof runoff "spouts" so air conditioner runoff goes down the side. I see it that's going to require frequent cleaning on the sides to prevent the hard water streaking on the paint. Anyone come up with better solutions?

1) Satellite - I have yet to see any Magnitude / Omni that came with a Satellite as a factory installed accesory. It is certainly not listed in the 2020 or 2021 brochures and there is only a factory installed Satellite bracket on the 2022's. All of the Magnitude / Omni's come with the Winegard ConnecT 2, which has an HDTV antenna, Cellular Hotspot and WiFi Router capabilities. The schematics for the first Magnitude / Omni in 2020 show a Satellite on the roof at mid-ship even though none was available as standard equipment or a factory option. They could be planning for a future option or they could just have been reusing old pictures as examples of what is possible. If it really is a Satellite, the dealer may have added it for another buyer who backed out at the last minute.
2) Inverter - First, there are two control panels for the Inverter. One built into the Inverter and a remote one at entry. The built-in panel must have the power switch in the OFF position in order for the remote panel to control the inverter properly.
If you want the Inverter's built-in ATS to switch over to keep the fridge cold should you lose shore power, then the Inverter should be powered ON at all times. If you have the Inverter powered OFF, the display will still show the battery voltage while on shore or generator power.
I leave my Inverter powered ON all the time in my Magnitude if I am using both fridges.
3) Gutters - There are no gutters. There have been several threads with creative solutions for diverting condensation from the A/C units. Everything from using Dicor to Eternabond Tape.
4) Slide Topper - If it is under warranty I might consider having the dealer handle it. Only because if it gets screwed up while you try to fix it, then they would likely not cover it as a warranty repair. I have not had mine off or apart. Depending on the issue if I was still under warranty I may take a stab at it. Now that I am out of warranty I would do it myself. I'm sure you can find videos on YouTube.
