Supertramp Flagship LT pop-up slide-in pickup camper

[twowheels19]

I have some technical questions for those with an STC LT who chose to install their relocated backup cam next to the rear exterior light. I’ve looked at a Rostra 250-8701H housing which has been discontinued and replaced with model 250-8714 w/o brake light or 250-8715 w/ brake light. I’m not wild about how far the 8714 or 8715 project from the camper shell, 2 27/32” to be exact. This housing is almost 5 3/4” wide which I believe would conceal a straight Fakra coax connector perfectly. It’s kind of bulky.
So I think I’m back to looking at the Zorg 4210 housing because it’s a smaller housing. For those with the Zorg who installed themselves,
-does a straight Fakra connector fit within the housing or will the 90 degree connector be needed?
-did you make a custom notch in the left side of the housing for cable entry?

Thanks in advance

For my 2024 Superduty, with digital cameras (360 camera package), I bought only the Zorg housing from Bob's Automotive Mirror's and more. You can buy only the Zorg housing, or the housing and the cable. I chose to source the cable from elsewhere because a digital cable is a digital cable and so cable was $18 rather than $95 (this was a couple years ago as the cable adds $140 nowadays).
The housing and cable is currently $290 + shipping.
Zorg housing only is currently $150 + shipping.
Using this link, price will change depending on what options you choose from the drop downs:

My Ford camera had the 90degree bend so my Fakra cable was straight. I did make a little notch for the cable to come out. I used the included screws (predrilled pilot holes) and the adhesive. It's not going anywhere. I also ran a bead of silicone across the top of the housing (not underneath so no trapped water).

I first tried what was supposed to be an OEM camera from ebay, but it didn't work so I returned it. I then pulled the camera out of my tailgate just to get everything up and running. Later, I bought one directly from Ford, tested it to ensure it worked, then installed that one in my tailgate.

Here are pics where I removed it from my tailgate if you want to see the guts. I only have these few pics of the Zorg handy. I'll see if I have any more because I probably took some of the internals.

Found this one, but nothing inside the Zorg housing.

Thanks Chad. I had removed the tailgate handle and OEM camera a couple of weeks ago to confirm the camera part number and ordered a second camera before we picked up the LT.

From your picture of the Zorg, the heat shrink will protrude from the housing?

I had previously found the Zorg installation pdf with internal photos but they only show the 90 degree connector, not the straight.
