I came across a Voyager three camera system that was being used in a 5th wheel. The information given was general, and I would have liked to have seen a video of this product in use. Does anyone have a camera system in their 5th wheel? If so what are your comments on it? The system I saw had a monitor that came with it. Instead of this monitor, could the system be attached to an existing navigation system within the tow vehicle?Thanks for your time with my questions

I have seen some units with the cameras displaying on the nav unit but my understanding is it takes a lot of modification IF the nav unit isn't built to use multiple cameras. I have a Camco unit with the capability on the monitor to use 4 cameras at once(splitting the screen) or roll through them. I just mount the monitor over the nav screen with 3M industrial velcro when needed.

It all depends on your nav system. It may not accept another input, but then again, it may. Check with your truck manufacture.

If you Nav system has a video input it will work. That is how I use my GPS for my back-up camera. You will need a switch to send power to the camera and that will make your Nav system go to your back-up camera.

You guys got me thinking. My backup camera is in my tailgate which I remove when towing because I use a V gate. When the stock gate is removed, one should be able to run a connection from the unused harness to a camera on the fiver. Ya think?

I already have a wired camera for my truck that I planned on moving to my %th but I am going to have to find s war to run the wire to the back of the RV.I noticed that Garmin has come out with a new GPS RV 760 LTM designed for RVs, I may just buy the GPS and add the optional camera
