Topic: Back Up Camera Posted: 08 Dec 2022 at 12:56pm |
I installed one I got from Amazon, Yakry I believe. It was a Bluetooth model that came with a monitor as well. It worked okay but not great. I did like having sight directly behind the trailer. I tapped into the tail light of the Rpod from the inside and routed the wire up the spare tire mount. I made a simple, angle iron bracket to mount the camera. It only worked with the trailer lights on, but that was okay since we drive with the lights on during the day anyway.
Hope that is helpful

I stand corrected. They said all flat back models and i believe Rpod 180 is not one of them. Thanks

Did Forest River say what model year the RPods started coming pre-wired for a backup camera? New ones might be, but older models likely are not so wired.

Hi I am new to this forum and need advice. I want to install a wireless backup camera on my Rpod 180. I inquired with Forest River and they confirmed all Rpods come pre wired for back up camera. Has any one done this? What model of camera should I use. Please advise. Thanks |
