Wireless Camera Install on 2018 Jayco
Hey guys and gals,
Over the Easter weekend we purchased a 2018 Jayco 17 foot TT. We had owned and towed larger trailers when we lived on the west coast of Canada but with the heavier traffic in New Jersey/New York we thought it would be a good upgrade to have a rear view camera when we were driving.
We found a wireless system on amazon,

I was able to install it right where the middle top marker light was. I used the existing center hole for the wires and then the same holes on the sides for the screws. I used the black plastic base of the marker lights as the base of the camera bracket so it is the identical footprint. I just had to drill 2 holes is the base of the camera bracket so it matched up with the marker light screws and a slightly larger hole in the centre of the light base so I could use a rubber grommet.
Cut the green and white wires and then butt connected them back together with the power and ground cable from the camera. (green was hot in my case)
I then used the existing rubber weather gasket and then caulked around the base again.
Install took about 30 minutes.
The camera has a removable antenna as does the monitor. With the monitor in the cab and the trailer hooked up we have a crystal clear picture and full signal strength.
Very impressed. I have attached some pictures in the links below. (hope they work)
