I installed a 12V wireless (rear view)back-up camera system. The 3” monitor just plugs in to the 12 volt outlet in the truck. The camera had a 8 ft cable to connect to the back up lights 2 wires. I temp hooked up the 2 wires (blk & rd) to the battery= turned the monitor on , GREAT a Back-up system works. Next I cut the camera cable that down to about 2 ft long and noticed a metal thing about 12” from the camera, then I slit the 2 wire harness cover open ( easy) and found the metal tube was the wireless antenna. Found a place on the back of my camper to mount the camera. Looked inside my camper to locate a 12v power line, found under the rear seat, rear pouch light wires close the camera hole I drilled to mount camera. Join the positive and neg wires to the pouch light wires. Works . It doesn't have to be connected to the brake lights to work, just any 12v line. see pictures.
I can also plug the monitor inside my camper to see who’s outside my unit. Driving it’s like having a rear view mirror in the cab. I can monitor my 60" wide M416 trailer on the highway while driving for any problem such as sway & bounce and it help when backing up. If you tow a trailer this is a good addition to your camper, NOTE: All 2016 Cars will come with Rear View Cameras.
