The main thing is a real good look at the rear, but if it has bells and whistles like a record function, forward- or side-facing cameras, what the heck. Looking at the back of my rig, the camera appears to be built into the body. Does that mean a wired system? And will I have to remove that wiring in order to install the new camera? Do I want to stay with the rearview mirror monitor, or get something dash-mounted? Questions, questions, so many questions...  Feel free to steer me towards a good thread on this forum. I do learn quickly! |
Please do not take this as a "smart" answer (especially since I had the same complaints as you on our 2016 VEGAS), but have you climbed up and checked to see if there was "protective film" over the lens?
We thought the camera was the worst thing and unusable, however the first time I was up waxing the rear of the coach I noticed that there was a protective plastic on the lens.. Removed that and the camera is now great!
Also, I hooked the feed up to our GARMIN GPS so now I have a larger display and I can tilt and place the display where I can see it while driving...
Okay, call me a "dumb hillbilly", but it took a couple of months of hazy, cloudy, dark views from the camera to "see the light"
