Are backup cameras a popular item? I am thinking about having dealer install one.
I installed one on my rig and have only used it once. Most spots I go into are pull-thru's, so it really was a waste of money for me.

Best prices I've seen so far are on Amazon. Anyone seen better?

Put a switch in the power lead and turn it off, as have the blue light on attracts attention to it. I was also thinking about tipping mine up a bit to see behind better. Chris
I have a 275 RE XLT Sundance. I want to install a backup camera. Does anyone know how to find the wire or wires for the reverse lights?
Thanks
Not sure you have reverse lights on the RV, but what lot of people do is tap into the clearance light circuit. Most do so by taking apart the center, high-mounted clearance light and tapping into the hot and ground that feed it and use that to power the camera. In that fashion, you will need to drive with your lights on (at least the clearance lights, if not your headlights). This is how I wired and operate my camera.
Our Landmark 365 came from the factory with the housing & was pre-wired .. I purchased the Furrion System .. it was basically a plug-n-play installation, maybe 10 min.
It has a continuous feed while diving and it is invaluable to me .. can monitor traffic from behind and see clearances when passing other vehicles.
A win / win for me.
I have NOT used it for backing yet ...

What Furrion system did you purchase? I believe our Warrior is also pre wired, it has the molded area for the rear camera, and I think the sales guy mentioned it. When you say plug and play, how does your in cab monitor recieve the signal/picture from the camera?
