Rear View Camera Replacement

[Gregory OConnor]

Dan, do you think it is worth going color???and if so could you get a
color camera now and use the B&W monitor until a future upgrade. My
system has like probs sometimes and it seems not to be prompted by
any particular event????? I like to keep the cam on to look at the
toad.

RobbieRob brags about Tim from RV Cams and I just assumed he got a
cut. Rob gave me a good tip to check the alignment of the wheels on
the toad. I now tie a white ribbon around the top of the centered
steering wheel and I can watch it spin when I turn and watch it
recenter when I drive straight.
