The back up lines shown. Is that an option on the monitor? By the way the link works fine.

The screen is very bright and easy to see, comes with a sun shade. I used a Ram mount for my monitor. You will need to go on Amazon and get a 3 1/2" mounting disk, the suction cup won't stick to the dash, here is the link for it:

Rear view safety makes some great cameras and have a great tech staff. May I suggest you call them and see if they have what you need.

Now my camera has quit working all together. Neither side view cams work either. No signal... Back to the dealer ship...

The camera in our Windsport quit working, it was the switchbox, one of the things that prompted me to upgrade to the 9" monitor.

I have a 2018 Thor Vegas with the rear back up camera. Crazy question, what button/function do you have to use in order to keep it on while driving so you can see behind you consistently, not just one putting it in reverse? I read that it had this option but I cannot find out how to do it…

symbol and it turns on the rear camra view



On mine its done thru the radio on the dash. It has a camera symbol on the main screen. Just touch that symbol and it turns on the camera.

Thank you. I thought I tried that but my screen, touch feature, doesn’t seem to work real great. Having the tech look at it. I will definitely try again. Thanks for your response.

I just pulled my Axxera AVM111NAV because to kept shutting down. I am looking for a replacement suggestion for a 2018 Thor Miramar. One that will connect t the pre-existing wire system hopefully. I do not mind playing a little for one with GPS, Camera and Radio as long as the darn thing works for more than a year.

[QUOTE=SuperD;75589]Several of us have purchased and installed a 9" quad view monitor from Rear View Safety. You can view all the cameras at the same time in different configurations on a nice large easy to view screen. Installation took about 30 min and was very easy. $224 for monitor, mounting base, and wiring harness. This monitor uses the same five pin camera connections that Thor uses, others from like Amazon use an rca connection and won't work. One of the best mods I have done, and I've done a bunch. Here is a pic, not very good, sorry.

I bought that same monitor but it appears that I also have to buy their module. Do you have a wiring diagram of your install?

Our 2017 Vegas rearview camera works most of the time, which is not good enough. Many times I've played with the RCA plugs under the dash and got it working, then we hit a bump and no camera, so I tied up the wires tightly, put dielectric grease on the plugs, and so on. It'll work for a while then get intermittent again. The dealer is replacing the Axxera unit, but the problem may be elsewhere. Finicky doesn't cut it, so I've installed a completely independent 4 camera unit with a 10" screen. It even functions as a dash cam by recording all four camera images to an SD card. The one I settled on is supposed to have infrared LEDs which ought to work in total darkness. It does not, but with the tail lights on, it sees fairly well and really well with the reverse lights. The seller tells me it works in low light but not in no light. Uh-huh! OK, I got an infrared LED spotlight. The camera can see the spotlight but the spotlight illuminates very little. Maybe the camera wave length is not the same as the spotlight wave length? I wanted something that will allow me to see around the motorhome it total darkness.
Suggestions?

Night vision goggles? Seriously though, you might do a Google search for "infrared lights for cameras". Lots of options...
