Wireless rear cameras?

[Bill Garamella]

Ryan,

I recently experimented with this and removed the original RCA and replaced it
with a
color IR camera. I knew going in that the IR LEDs would be a problem because
they
reflect off the camera window. Therefore, the system does not work in the dark
as it was
designed to. However, It does a pretty good job during the day for an
inexpensive
system. This installation required fishing a new proprietary cable from the
control unit at
the front of the coach along the drivers side.

I am new to this whole coach thing. I think my night driving will be minimal so
I will live
with this limitation for now. I am still searching for a method to keep the
camera behind
the glass and gain the night vision function... this may not be possible.
