SENECA backup camera power

In checking out how delivery of my 36FK was going I found the backup camera on with the ignition switch off. In reading the owners manual the camera should power up with the ignition switch. The dealer rep told me that the camera operated off house power and was controlled by the house 12V switch. That doesn't sound right to me.

How does your SENECA camera power on/off?

On my '14 Seneca it too is powered off the coach batteries. I know this because if I don't turn on the coach power, no picture! Actually all 3 (sides too) won't function.

Originally my in-dash nav/stereo was also hooked to coach power, but I got tired (very quickly) of the radio losing all its settings every time I shut off the batteries. It was probably supposed to have a continuous battery feed, but it did not. Now it does due to my efforts.

Robbbyr, I want to go the other way…radio/GPS/cameras go on/off with the ignition switch. I am not at all concerned about presets as we listen to CDs except when driving. When camping I use the OTA TV for weather advisories etc.

Thanks for your response

I made some other mods to my stereo, I added Sirius for the long drives and put an Alpine compact subwoofer under the passenger seat to "fill-in" the missing bass. It actually sounds great now! I needed it to work even when chassis off and not forget all its settings since it also is the audio source for my overhead bunk TV. At least it is until I figure out whether I want a sound bar or not for the it!
