Does anyone know if the 2017 Bighorn 3270 RS models come pre wired for rear vision cameras?
Many thanks,
Dave

I had remove the enclosure for the Furrion camera Heartland installed because I installed the camera system that came with my 2017 F250 Super Duty. When I removed it there were no power wires. The clearance light could be tapped but then you would have to run with your lights on.

There was only the enclosure with a plate over the area where the camera would be installed. My nephew had the same thing on his Grand Design. It was made for the Furrion Wireless Camera system. Not hard wired.There was not a little RCA looking jack? Maybe behind the rubber gasket?

Correct, when you remove the plate for the camera, this connector should be there, it is for the Furrion camera. If not, maybe remove the entire mount. There should be a hole in the rear cap and this connection.

Remember to install the fuse at the fuse panel to power up the camera. I checked my hot with a test light and had no power. I Tied into the clearance lights, and then was told about the missing fuse.
felt pretty stupid!

Its probably wired with backup lights. Correct ?
Not necessarily. Ours is hot all the time. If it is fused, I don't know. Our fuses aren't labeled.

From what I have able to determine (through normal channels, factory and forum), is that any existence of a factory installed fuse to source power to the Furrion camera prep is a legend comparable to that of the unicorn. Oh, there are tales of such a fuse existing, some have even said they have put their hands on such. But, like the unicorn, no picture has been produced, only anecdotal evidence has been bantered about. I have looked high and low for such a fuse, even thought I saw a leprechaun once, but alas, no camera fuse. My inquiry to the factory ended with this response:
I was confirmed today, the camera is wired in to the rear interior overhead lights, meaning the camera will be on all the time. There is no switch, by pulling a fuse for these lights, would also cut power to the camera.
Thank you,

I am researching a remote power switch that may be small enough to house in the actual Furrion camera mount. This would help to avoid trying to find the wiring inside the coach that powers the camera.
How hard was it to fish the Ford wire harness up there to that area ?
