Camera Upgrade

[jmjones311]

Hello everyone, I wanted to post a few upgrades I just finished that worked out well. I have a 2016 Itasca Solei that came with both side cameras and a backup camera. The problem was that the cameras were poor quality, especially at night, and the monitor used the 6 inch head unit built into the dash. This is a rather small screen considering it is 3 feet from the driver.

To solve the issues i purchased 2 of the "TTP-C12B Hidden Mini Backup Camera - 170° Viewing Angle" for $20.00 a piece, the "CoolWoo Backup Camera Wired for Semi Truck, Van, RV, Bus, Waterproof, Wide Angle High Definition" for $50.00, and the "Lancevon- 10.1 inch Small Portable Computer HDMI VGA HD LCD Monitor display screen" for $60.00. The backup camera was an easy install since both old camera and new camera used the same 4-pin connector. The side view cameras required complete disassembly of the mirrors and I used butt connectors and electrical tape to slice the power and video in.

The end product is awesome. I have better viewing angles, video quality, and an increased confidence while traveling. Let me know if you have any questions.

Dang! That's two great ideas from you in one day. The rest of us are going to have to scramble to keep up!

2nd that - Jones. I have nearly identical mirrors on a recently acquired 2002 Winnebago Sightseer 27 ...are your mirror cameras 'add-ons'? I have a single, 7" B/W CRT rear cam. I purchased a replacement for it, but your setup looks very attractive. Thanks.

Thanks guys, the mirrors came with camera's in them, I simply replaced them with higher quality ones.
