Rear View Camera |

Several months ago I installed a VR3 backup camera system with a 2.5" LCD screen. After only a few months, the monitor failed. I decided to upgrade the backup camera system with a new LCD screen that is inside a rearview mirror. A new camera was included and was added to the rear of the coach. The license plate camera that came with the original backup camera system is still in use on the truck. A remote control allows you to switch between the two cameras. Here are a few installation pictures. |

License plate camera on truck |

The camera is installed in the fiberglass just below the power connection on the back of the coach. 12 volt power was obtained from the running light circuit on the trailer. Running lights are used day and night while towing. |
