Hi all,

Well I found the silver box (RVS-501N-3, SWITCHER BOX which sells for $79.99 (https://www.rearviewsafety.com/the-s...vs-501n-3.html)) and choose to pull it down to the driver's floor area.

I disconnected the wiring harness from switcher box (SB) and spliced each wire to the new monitor wiring harness using some slick wire taps found at Amazon (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1). A little pricy but really easy. I then plugged yellow RCA out in the new wiring harness to the Radio RCA plug in. Now I can also view what's on the monitor on the radio by pressing the camera button.

Thanks all for your help, ideas and great wiring diagrams!

I choose to route the cable to the new monitor thru the steering column opening and up to the monitor. This way I can easily reinstall the SB and remove the monitor if we trade in this RV and move the great monitor to the next RV.

I am also showing in the last photo a trash container and floor mat that I found that's working great for us (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...0?ie=UTF8&th=1) & (https://www.campingworld.com/shoppin...27-brown/91522).
