Garmin backup cam and RV 660 GPS

[Deeger]

Last summer we bought a X213 and a Tundra about the same time. I didn't get the full nav package on the Tundra. I couldn't see paying all that for a GPS.
We got the RV 660 Garmin. I have had several Garmin GPS over the years on my BMW motorcycles and my vehicles.
I got the BC30 backup camera to go with the 660. It transmits the video to the GPS via bluetooth. I've watch several videos of installs on the Furrion cameras, so I followed the steps somewhat on it.
I decided to install it at the top of the back of the trailer over the back slide near the running lights. This is were Jayco recommends you get the power.

I taped the camera and the transmitter in the approximate location I wanted to install them. I hooked it up to a 12v power supply I had to make sure of a good signal to the GPS in the cab.

I placed the transmitter on the driver's side to be closer to the GPS. I was worried about the LED light overrunning the camera, but it didn't cause any issues.

I pulled the center light to check access to the wiring and although Jayco recommends making the hole to the right of center, I had access to the wires on the left so that's where I marked and drilled it.


I used a long pair of hemostats to pull the wires out. I used those things from all kinds of stuff. They are great to have around.

After drilling the hole to access the wires I started trying the layout of all the pieces and here's where it got complicated. I had originally intended to push the fuse and the terminal that goes between the power wires to the transmitter and camera back into the wall of the trailer. Garmin makes all those, too bulky to push back into the wall, and I didn't want to drill a bigger hole. Placing them inside the wall would keep you from accessing the fuse if you blew it. I thought about just cutting off the fuse, but decided against it.
I mounted the camera above the center running light and the transmitter as far on the driver's side as I had wire for. I found a PVC rubber grommet at O'Reilly's and it worked perfectly for the wiring after I connect the camera power to running light wires using vampire tabs. Before I tucked all the wires in, I made sure that the camera was powered up via the running lights and all worked perfectly.

I used some self adhesive cable clips to dress the wire, and it worked well to run it along the rain channel over the slide.

I haven't sealed the grommet with the wires yet. I want to find a cover to keep the fuse/terminal block out of the weather. I was able to stuff all the excess wire that goes to the camera into the trailer wall.

This is the smallest cover I can find to weatherproof the hole, fuse, and TB.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm open to them. TIA
