Does the camera have IR capability? If so, just cup your hands over the camera and see if the IR lights are lit. You really should be checking the operation on a bench. You can do this by hooking the camera and transmitter to a 12 volt source (your car or a transformer or old battery still charged) and the monitor to the coach. If it works, the issue may be your wiring, how your hooking it up or even weak signal at the monitor. But first you need to make sure the system will work on its own.
I did a bench test and it's working well! Booted right up. I tried to hook it up to my reverse light and then just a tail light. Both putting out about 7-10V when engaged and nothing. There's something happening on the camera wiring end. I'll attach some photos of what the set up is back there - hopefully you have some advice. Thanks!
