power to Haloview MC7108 backup camera

[Trublu1068]

Hello,

I just purchased a Haloview mc7108 backup camera. I also purchased the furrion adapter to plug into the installed plug that came with my 5th wheel. It is a 2021 Northpoint 310rlts. I have plugged in the camera according to the directions, which are sparse, but cannot get power to the camera. I have tested the camera and monitor so I know they work. I also took off the furrion plug and hardwired the plug that came with the camera so I wouldn't have to use the adapter. Still no power. I have not been able to get inside my coach because it's parked on the side of my house and I don't have enough room to pull down the stairs.
Is there a setting, button, or fuse that needs to be activated before using? Any advise would be helpful. Thank you!

My camera only gets power with the tow vehicle lights on, I drive with my running lights on. Yours might be the same

That was it. Thank you Ringnecks!

That fooled me too for the longest time.


If you want, there is a bulletin from Jayco to install a light switch in the bedroom to provide the power without the headlights. I'll try to find it.

Early units had a switch in the wet bay or elsewhere. Later units went to running lights. Even later units went to running lights with the option of adding a switch in the bedroom. Just depends on the build date of what you have. My 2017 Eagle 293RKDS has the switch in the wet bay.
