couple of things

I have a 2017 Thor 35 SD on the Ford 550 chassis. The back up camera is almost useless and was wondering if that is normal or perhaps I need to have it check out.

Also, what is the best indoor/outdoor rug?

The lower mirror has an adjustment but I can't locate where.

Really appreciate any help. Getting ready for our first trip and thought I would ask the experts.

Ron

"The back up camera is almost useless" - In what way? It should have an analog TV picture quality with no static. The direction is adjustable at the camera. Does it differ in quality from the side cameras?

The lower mirrors, if like my 2016 ACE is adjusted manually at the mirror. The upper mirrors are remotely adjustable.

Best is a subjective word. What is best for you may not be best for me. What are you using the rug for?

We have used an Astro Turf style door mat below the steps for years to help clean the bottom of the shoes as we enter the RV:

We have also used a "sand free" patio mat for over 10 years when we setup the patio under the awning. I don't see the exact model anymore but it is similar to this one:

Light, stain resistant, breathable with a weave that allows sand and dirt to fall through to the ground. Great for when we had kids (now grandkids) camping with us.

The lower mirrors, if like my 2016 ACE is adjusted manually at the mirror. The upper mirrors are remotely adjustable. Tried to move them but haven't pushed too hard in case of breaking one of them.

Thanks so much, sounds like what we want in a rug.
