Axxera rearview camera quit working
On my 2017 Thor Ace the backup or rearview camera quit working. My radio is the Axxera AVM80.
The camera was working fine when I pulled into a park and stayed for a few days. The camera worked well as I use it to monitor my trailer going down the road and it was working when I backed into a site at the campground.
The morning that I decided to leave the camera was inoperable. I get a message "No Video Signal".
Both of my side cameras work so I know the connection to the radio is good.
I checked connections at the switch box. I accessed the camera connection at the rear of the MH. I took the connections apart and put them back together.
I rebooted the radio by shutting off shore power and putting the coach in store mode then rebooting.
I found new firmware for the radio and installed that. Still no backup camera.
Does anyone have an idea of something that I have not tried?
Maybe the camera went bad?

I had a similar thing happen, camera working fine then all of a sudden it stopped. It ended up being the a/v connection behind the radio head.
I removed the radio head, reconnected the loose cables and everything was working again. No issues since.

I only have one connection going to the radio from the switch box. The other two cameras show up on the radio so the connection at the radio is good.

Thought that I'd come back to tell the rest of the story.
Doing more troubleshooting, I disconnected the feed from the RV camera from the switch box and hooked the right side camera to that input. When switched to the rear camera, the right side camera came up on the screen.
I hooked the RV feed to the right side camera connection on the switch and it displayed, no video signal.
So the problem was either the cable for the RV camera or the camera. I ordered a new camera from RVS with 60+ feet of new cable.
It was the camera. New camera works like a new camera.
What was strange is the old camera worked great backing into my site at a state park. Spent three days and the camera was dead when it came time to leave.

cameras not working
2018 31w, Axxera radio. My Radio and along with it rear camera and outside mirror cameras are now blank. NADA. check the under hood fuse: OK. Check the panel fuse: OK. Any ideas that would cause radio and cameras to die?

I gotta ask the question: Status of your battery disconnect switch? The radio is powered from the house batteries. No power = no radio and no cameras.

One more Hail Mary: Have you tried resetting the radio with the reset switch on the front panel through the really tiny hole?
