Furrion Observation Camera Wiring

My Rockwood came pre wired for a Furrion backup/observation camera. I connected it today, but it only works when I turn my headlights on. My truck is a 2019 GMC and the lights are auto. Running lights during the day and lights come on at dark. I obviously want the camera on day or night when I’m towing. Is there a way to fix this or am I stuck with having to manually override my headlights when towing during daylight hours?
  • My Riverstone is wired the same may. I just turn on my fog lights which in turn turns on the running lights and my camera. My fog lights automatically shut off when the key is turned off, no worries about forgetting to turn off head lights.
  • That is how they are wired on the camper.... My 2020 Redwood is the same way....

    When I want to see behind me, I flip the switch to turn on lights. The camera gets it's power from the trailer running lights..

    You can always tow with lights on if you wish.
