Rear View Camera Replacement

[ac7880]

Greg,
I needed fast and simple before a short notice road trip. Cost was
not so much the issue, immediate resolution was the issue in this
case.

The camera stays on anytime the coach moves to monitor the toad and
everything behind us. Rv Cams was not cheap, but super fast and
helpfull. I have no dog in the hunt, no cut, no interest in RV Cams
financially. I personally don't care about color, but others might.

The new cam 100 percent solved my previous vertical (cold system)
scroll on a 2 week trip. Turn it on, rock solid and sharp pic, from
on to off, both day and night.
