I’m adding a Furion compatible rear view camera that will arrive in two days. It cost $96 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/LeeKooLuu-High-Speed-Compatible-Pre-Wired-F06/dp/B07S2Y1MNM/ref=asc_df_B07S2Y1MNM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=366323876074&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2815231902564243422&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012083&hvtargid=pla-783960108866&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=74356900257&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=366323876074&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2815231902564243422&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012083&hvtargid=pla-783960108866

Very similar to the Yakry model I got from Amazon. Worked great but could have stood to have a wider angle lens than it did. Also the windshield mount was useless. I made a metal plate to fit inside a tray on the dash and mounted magnets to the bracket. Worked awesome |

I also use the Yakry from Amazon. I use two elastic velcro strips to attach the monitor to my rearview mirror. The mirror is useless when towing (all I can see is the front of my camper) so that is a great monitor location for me.

I like that idea. How do you attach the strips to the monitor? I would think that running them around the front would be annoying as they would be in the way of the picture.

I use 2 narrow strips of elastic velcro that wraps around the monitor & mirror on the left & right sides. The monitor has a narrow frame around the perimeter. So the velcro does cover the monitor frame & a little bit of the monitor screen, but not enough that it blocks what I need to see.

Thanks. I'll have to try that with the monitor that I have.

I added a small aluminum box to the rear bumper for all the sewage hoses, sidewinder and clean out parts. Now I have to relocate the spare tire. Wanted to put in a undercarriage stow away, but that puts the spare to close to the ground. Any other clever ideas?
Thanks, Kee
