Despite that, it is still a 26' long vehicle that benefits from a rear camera. I briefly tried a wireless rear camera and it looked like crap. Since I was replacing the ceiling anyways, it was the right time to run a wired camera.</p>
<p>And why stop with just one backup camera. I opted to install a second camera viewing the side of the RV so I could line up to a dump station or electrical box.</p>
<p>Doing this job isn't hard. Its just running a bunch of wires. But the benefit is huge. I am extremely happy with the quality of my rear camera. It looks much better than most OEM backup cameras I have seen. I only bought a single backup camera initially so that I could try it out, confirm it worked well, then I would buy a second camera of that same model for the side view.</p>
<p>Only a month after I bought that first rear view camera that I like so much, Amazon stopped selling it. So I went to Walmart and got whatever water proof camera they had on the shelf. It is good, not great, but it does the job.</p>
<p>Having these cameras has been a real pleasure. On the rear camera, the view is from the trailer hitch to the horizon. I can litterally backup to a trailer perfectly ever time, and still use the camera to see the full extents of the trailer I am towing. The vantage point is perfect.</p>
<p>Besides the custom metal cup holders I made, this is one of my favorite upgrades to the RV. And of course it all comes together thanks to my Boss Android Auto head unit that actually has two camera inputs, rear and front. I can mentally rememter that front actually means rear side.</p>|||
