UPDATE!!! We installed a new camera and we did an even better job. Check out the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5Sv6o0NM_qg.html

@joerivers1768 5 месяцев назад

Great Job and very simple. When I installed mine this same way I found the power lead can be shortened so you don't have to shove as much wire into the hole and wrap a little electrical tape on the power plug so it doesn't come loose for any reason - remember, never say never.

@CruisinwiththeColemans 5 месяцев назад

Good tip! Thanks for watching. If you don’t want to use the center light we have a new video out. The link is in the description.

@chargriller6547 3 года назад

LOL - My wife and I have never had a backup argument either. 😂 Great video. Got a similar camera system for one of my cars. It was under a different brand name but is obviously made by the same manufacturer. Same useless instruction book and videos. I muddled thru the install which took way longer than it should have. That being said I loved the quality so I bought an RV/Truck system for my travel trailer from the same company. Knowing the install book and videos were likely useless I googled and found your video. Based on your experience and my own, made the install on my travel trailer and towing truck a breeze. Thanks so much for sharing. Quick story when my wife and I took our travel trailer camping for the first time. We were in our early 50’s at the time. I was sitting outside the trailer with a cold beverage just enjoying nature when an older couple probably in their late 60’s drove up with a large 5th wheel. The wife jumped out to aid the husband back it up. The husband was trying to back up while their little yappy dog was running back and forth on the trucks dash. So with the dog constantly barking and the wife yelling “NOOOO your other Right” etc the poor frazzled guy finally parked in his spot. At that time my wife jumped out of the trailer asking what I was doing. I responded with “ I was just watching us in about 15 years.”

But in this video they are installing it on an Apex trailer like mine, towed by an F150 like mine, and he even climbs up a telescoping ladder just like mine! I hope my camera mount bracket fits into the body of the clearance lamp like this one, so I don’t have to drill any holes!

@@CruisinwiththeColemans ok...got one little backlash in the forum...most everyone loved this . But someone mentioned that Fed law is that you have to have that light - 3 lights. And that it also wouldn't pass inspection...of course we are in NC so our state doesn't require inspections on trailers to tag them . Have you had anything on this? Love your videos! Actually read further down in the comments an I think we'll do what you did...just keep all the parts from the light and if needed just reinstall if it becomes a problem. For now this works!

@CruisinwiththeColemans 3 года назад

We have had several people comment about that. We’ve never been stopped and our law enforcement children said they would never pull someone over for it. But… in the event of an accident, it could be a problem. When I replace the camera eventually, I will probably do it “the right way.”

@terryalthoff165 4 года назад

Thanks for making the installation so easy. I actually have an Apex trailer and a F150 so this was perfect. I did want to address your mounting issue. What I did to lower the congestion was run velcro straps through the double slots on each side of the bracket (I also attached the double-sided bracket pad to the bracket but did not take off the second tape as padding) and strapped the monitor to the rearview mirror since it is not used while towing ... it becomes the new rearview mirror. I wish I could have added pics.

Two suggestions, seal the hole in the bracket where the wire comes out to keep weather out. ALSO, you might check with law enforcement or highway patrol to confirm that removing the center marker light is legal.

I installed a similar wireless camera in my class C last year. I wish I would have just mounted it in my middle light like you did. I looked at a different video, drilled a hole above the middle light and had to pull things apart inside my "bedroom" to do the wiring. Just pulling out the middle clearance light and using it's wiring would have been so much easier..and much simpler to make it waterproof.

@thomasvliet2101 3 года назад

I found this video very helpful from the wiring colors for positive and negative to the mounting of the camera bracket using the marker light base. I had to buy a new marker light and use the base from that as the one on my trailer was more rounded in the corners and the bracket would not fit inside it. Tractor Supply had a marker light with square type corners and the bracket fit into that nicely. Thanks!

You made this look easy! Thank you! Clicked on your link for the same kit at Amazon and the manufacturer has changed the design of the mounting bracket for the camera.

@ronciurla9170 3 года назад

After watching the video I'm concerned with this installation due to the risk of a water leak. In the video it appears there is an open hole directly into the RV where the wires run through the camera mounting bracket. How did you close off this leak path? Did you apply some type of caulk/sealant in that hole to prevent water intrusion? Water will make its way into the wall of the RV through that hole if not sealed properly.

@CruisinwiththeColemans 3 года назад

Yes, we used a piece of latex and silicone caulk to seal the hole. Also, it’s helpful to make sure there’s a bend in the line so the water drips off rather than running down in.

Only problem with your setup is DOT regulations require those 3 red lights in the middle of the top of the rear of your trailer/RV. Replacing the middle one with a camera puts you in violation of DOT regs. I know someone who got a ticket for it. Fine to run power from the light, but the camera should be mounted separately and not replace a light.

The camera on Amazon has been updated several times since this video came out. The current version does come with the Furrion mount.

The current version of the mount has little metal “fins” that might need to be bent up or cut off. Hope that helps.

easy install but legally because of trailer width you are to have 5 rear clearance lamps as per code. You may never get hassled but just as easy to feed wires for camera just long enough below lamp to feed power to camera in it's own location. But I get why you opted to do it this way😎

@HeirApparent 3 года назад

...hilarious drama considering trailer lights are 12v DC... zero shock hazard...and yes, the camera only receives power when your running lights are on (headlights or not). Viewers, be aware you can trim the unnecessary length of the camera power cable, and re-strip the wires so you won't need to stuff 6 feet of wire back into the hole. And, you'll want to caulk the wire entry hole with silicone or RTV before making the final tilt adjustment.

Are you able to move the display inside your camper and use it as a security-type video? I would guess it could be plugged into the 12v plug inside the camper on the wall???

I don’t see why not but we have not tried to do it. Thanks for watching!

Yes with a silicone caulk.

@c-rodrodgers498 3 года назад

I'm sure its already been asked, but my question is what did you fill the hole with in on the back side where the cable feed through it didn't look like you place anything inside the hole to prevent water from getting inside. Also is that bracket included with the kit when you purchased the camera. Is the antenna removable for storage of the trailer when its not being used and covered.

@CruisinwiththeColemans 3 года назад

I used a thick dish glove cut to fit as a rubber gasket. That dried out after one summer so it got replaced with a latex glove that has held up for the last two. The bracket is the one that the light clips onto so nothing new needed to be purchased there. The antenna easily screws off the camera if you wanted to. Our TT sits out uncovered all winter and the camera and antenna are still working well.

It’s technically the same camera in the link but they have done some upgrades so the mounting bracket is different now. You don’t have to use the Furrion adapter.

Thanks , due to your video my husband and I figured out what we were doing wrong. The wireless camera was not working. I questioned why on ours the Camera was pluging into a port through the camper. If it is wireless you should not have to plug directly into the camper. When I watched your video and you were directly connecting into the lights and said that headlights had to be on, all made sense at that point. I determined that the camper is already hard wired and all we had to do is turn on the headlights. That is all it was,, we got horrible directions with our camera. We have had camera for over a year and have not been able to use. I keep telling my husband to look at you tube video, I solved this mystery with in a couple of minutes. This am he was out there over 2 hours and countless other times. Again Thanks

@@CruisinwiththeColemans Installation went fairly well..The provided 'adapter' to go on the Furrion rain shield gave me the most struggle. The holes were ever so slightly off, and I had to use longer screws to secure it. Also, the camera bracket screws were too small, had to use slightly larger washers so they would be secure(only had 2, hopefully 2 out of 4 is secure enough, knock on wood..lol)..THEN there is no room to put the wiring away, so it just kind of dangles..Picture is nice a bright and clear, so, overall it is worth the little bit of struggle to get it installed..Will see how it performs on our next RV trip!

Funny I found myself on this video a few weeks ago and now on it again and subscribing this time! I have a question, I installed my backup camera the same way you did on my 2019 Coachman Clipper that had a spot for it pre built it. I tested to make sure the camera worked before installing it now with it installed I cant seem to get it connected or any power to the spot where its plugged in. Do you have any suggestions? The only things I can find online are that your headlights might have to be on (which I've tried various ways) or that the manufacture miss wired the pre built back up camera incorrectly. Thanks! and great video :)

@CruisinwiththeColemans 3 года назад

Thanks for the sub! My first guess would be the headlights but you already tried that. Next would be to check all the wiring connections. Your suspicion that the factory installed wiring is faulty is probably correct. We’ve all sorts of issues with that sort of thing from water lines hooked up backwards to tv and sound wiring incorrect. Our camera model has a pairing button built into the wiring. It could be something to do with that. My last suggestion would be that the distance from the camera to the monitor is too far and they are not recognizing each other. Good luck and let us know if we can be any more help.

Finally had some time to mess with it yesterday. I broke out the multimeter and realized I had it wired in backwards.

I appreciate the video. One suggestion, and one critique. Suggestion first: You should wrap the connection jack where the camera connects to the harness with electrical tape. All the vibration, bouncing and gravity, that connection is going to come loose and you’ll find yourself digging in that tiny hole trying to fish your wires out. Now to the critique: The loud banter coming from the camera operator is distracting and unnecessary for the video, as are the sound effects. Get to the point.
