About 2 weeks ago I tried my back up camera for the first time. I was home so I just backed up my truck to the RV (did not hitch up). The camera and audio worked fine. This camera system is the Camos DW-703W.

The next time that I tried it was yesterday while we were backing into a campsite in Georgia. We could not get it to work. It seems like it was trying to load as the little swirlly globe like image was turning and the word "loading" did appear on the monitor. Then the screen turned black with the words "CHECK TX POWER".
We checked the instruction manual and there is no reference to this message.

This morning, I tried it again while the truck was unhitched from the RV (thats the way it worked when I was home) same message, "CHECK TX POWER".
The instruction manual does not have any phone numbers or web site for technical assistance.

Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you
Dick
