Rear Backup Camera Prep

Your recreation vehicle has been pre-wired to allow for the installation of a (customer-supplied and customer-installed) rear backup camera and a customer-installed (or dealer-installed) camera ON/OFF switch so the backup camera can be used as an observation/security camera. Depending on your RV model, a camera accessory power wire is pre-routed at the factory from the rear camera to the bedroom or the command center panel inside the entrance door. An ON/OFF switch would be installed (by the customer or the dealer) either in the bedroom or in or near the command center panel. The camera accessory power wire would be attached to this switch. The camera monitor is then plugged into the camera charge center in the bedroom or near the command center panel to be used for observation or security purposes.
Certain models may have a pre-installed power switch for the camera located in an exterior compartment. (e.g. battery storage or utility center bay) Your dealer can tell you if your model comes with a switch pre-installed. An instruction sheet is included with your RV detailing the installation of the backup camera, and the camera power switch. It also explains where to find the camera accessory power wire in your particular model RV. This instruction sheet is included in your Warranty Packet.
