I also didn't like that when you got off the highway sitting at stop with the turn signal on you couldn't adjust the radio because the camera is on. Plus as a driver of a Freightliner I am used to looking in the mirrors anyway. The mirrors on the MH are about three times the size than the little 6" screen which is to small to really see anything.
I agree with the annoyance of the screen in the dark but I'd like to add a switch to turn them on/off. I don't know what that part would be tho. The issue with the radio has been mentioned in other threads. Thor used to use Jensen radios and an upgrade model didn't cut off the radio. I really wouldn't know because the radio gets its power from a source that's tied with the A/C controls that fail after 350 miles from delivery. Camping World has had the rig in warranty service longer than I had.

There are 5-6 wires going to box other than the camera cables. Three of them are from backup lights, and each blinker. You would just have to switch the blinker ones. Those are the ones that I cut. DO NOT CUT THE CAMERA CABLES.

If my radio died it would be a blessing, Crutchfield has some pretty nice double din radios with nav & Sirius for some pretty reasonable prices. Like Kenwood or Pioneer, better than axxera or Jensen.

Also while I was in there I connected the power to the radio to Ford's power wire that was in the dash. I have a class C. Now it shuts off with the van. Thor had it connected to the coach power so you have to turn it off manually all the time. I didn't like that.

Well, my pics are from the Wal-Mart RV resort on our way to Florida!
Pretty cool tho; we ran into some friends on the way down that stopped for the night at the same Wal-Mart, so we made our own little RV park in the parking lot...
And before y'all say it, I realize my front wheels are off the ground in the pic. Thinking I might have to get the levelers calibrated or something. The last couple times I've leveled, even on a very-close-to-level surface, it has jacked the front wheels into the air for some reason. Anyhoo, here's my rig!

If its ending up level - likely nothing to adjust...
Some (many?) find autoleveling will raise the rig more than you would be able to do manually... Easy to do manually if desired.

I try not to drop jacks in parking lots... to avoid any chance of damaging asphalt... If you are going to - may consider using some kind of jack pads... from blocks of wood to permanent fixtures attached to jack legs.
At 'Chateau Walmart' I just find a spot where I end up reasonably level and call it a night.

Yes Walmart, my kind of campground. I often find one leveling leg not touching the ground. Nothing more stable than a three legged stool.

Fourth Cliff Family Recreation Area MA

So we spent 2.5 months with 3-5 grandkids. Lots of beautiful campgrounds but this one was great!!! When we pulled in and registered we were directed to this absolutely perfect site overlooking the ocean from about 100 up a cliff. A huge WOW. Good news was most of the utilities were in the rear as we pulled frontend to the ocean.
