Just got done putting in RVS camera. Wired it into back DC lamp on our 177 and mounted the camera on the window frame. The picture quality is very good as long as the window is clean. The grid lines are accurate. The shortfall of my installation- it is powered up anytime there is power to DC system. Have to remember to unplug power lead during long sit times. There is a bright blue light on the transmitter that is very noticeable as a reminder.
Headed to WV for some bow hunting Sunday. Anxious to see how the system performs.
On a side note. Called RV Nation to find out which wire in DC is hot and which is ground. Got wrong info. The white is hot. The black with white stripe is the ground. This camera has got to be wired correctly to work.
More to follow.
