Fifth MOD - Backup Camera
The Backup camera MOD, I acquired information from TxTwoSome that replied to my thread on how to install a back up camera non wireless. Started with a Sony IR wired camera, which will be mounted above the center taillight between the roof edge and light top. Drilled (2) pilot holes, prior to attaching bracket, added black buytl tape to the back of the mount bracket. Pulled the screw cover vinyl molding up on one side and cut a small hole for the video cable to travel through to the corner. At the corner, cut another small hole and put wire in plastic wire loom on the exposed corner area. Then ran cable in the down side vinyl screw cover molding. Routed the cable to the bottom of the coach and then used Novaflex Black to fill in the small holes in the vinyl screw cover to prevent water intrusion. The video cable was insert into black plastic wire loom to protect it from elements on the underside of coach. Attached rubber coated wire holders on areas, where I could not combined with the current wires that were there from the factory. In the front, below the pass through storage is where I entered the coach to travel to the front pinbox area. Attached the wire to the aluminum frame above pass through storage with holders and exited the area through the main 12v battery wire existing hole. Re applied Polyurethane spray foam to this area. The wire was then routed across the back of the front compartment to the center area and then used fiberglass fish tape to route to pinbox for a clean installation. At the pinbox there is a coiled cable to attach to the TV. Our TV has the 8" MyTouch screen with a Lockpick module in it to attach the trailer backup camera to the factory screen.
