RCA back-up camera

[one_dusty_hoot]

ED,
Were the controls in the side overhead used? Was this an
LCD or tube monitor? Was it installed in the overhead
front as the original. Was the size about the same?
Was the old cable used to pull new cable? So many
questions I know, I am looking at doing something with
mine, naot a clear picture, blooming, pix tube is on
the way out.
TIA

Guys I was wandering where most people mounted the new camera. Do you mount
them inside or on the out side. I'm going to put a new one in this spring when
I get back home. I put a new glass in my camera housing two years ago from
BlueBird & it is starting to go bad already. I guess if the camera has sound it
has to be mounted outside.

Keith,

Had my backup camera and monitor replaced by Bleakley in Unadilla, Ga
with a color Sony with sound. I am very pleased. New cabling must
be fished to the back so the labor is the big item.

Bob,
When I replaced mine I ran the new cable but really didn't need to. The only
thing that bought me was the ability to "listen". With the camera inside not
much to listen to. I now understand that an adapter is available to use the old
coax if in good condition. I went with Sony from rvcams.com.

Bob,

See previous days post. I di it myself I don't have a FC so I am sure
big fifferences but the pull is shorter. I mounted the camera in the
old location inside, this has a negitive as in the down position I
can only see four feet from the back of the coach bumper. so when the
wall is at the edge of the picture I have gotten close enough. WBWL
had the carmera in the dash so that is where I mounted it. eaiser on
the eyes to see. LCD monitor

Hey everyone, I have an RCA back up camera in my 84FC35. (original
equip?) I removed it yesterday and hope to test it somehow. Any
suggestions? I know there is power to the camera and the monitor
works.

Also, there are three connections on the back of the camera. One for
the 12V, one is a single pin cam lock type and the third is a round
multi pin connection. There is not a cable for the multi pin
connector. Should there be a cable for the multi pin connector or is
it not required?

Thanks, Keith

Keith,

I'm also trying to get mine working. I took the camera to an
electronics store that dealt in security systems. They were able to
test
my camera - it works fine. I've traced my trouble to a broken lead
going from the camera trigger relay to the TV on/off panel above
the drivers head. The problem is that it isn't obvious where the
lead broke off. This after two days off tracing leads.

Good luck

Thanks for the info Art. Can you tell me if the multi-pin connector
on yours was being used? Or were there only the 12V leads and the
small cam-lock cable?

I have a very small aftermarket camera. There is no connecter .
Four leads come out of the camera. Power (12V.), ground, audio, and
video. The 12V. lead goes to green #28 lead that gets power when TV
is turned on. The gnd goes to a coach chassis ground. The video goes
to a coax which goes the the TV chassis.The audio is unused.

Thanks, I thought we were talking about the same camera? Perhaps
someone who still has the old RCA camera will chime in. I'll post
the model number later...

I replaced the camera on my old FC with a modern color IR unit. I
got an adapter at Radio Shack that allowed my to plug it right into
the original cable heading to the original monitor. Worked fine.
One catch, though...if you get an IR camera, the little IR "lights"
will reflect off the small window the camera looks out through and
block out the picture at night. You could mount the camera outside
to solve the problem, I chose to simply block out the IR with
electrical tape. Worked fine.
