I recently purchased a used Arctic Fox 1150 camper, and from my experiences with my Lance 1130 (2001), I am planning to install a wireless voyager rear view camera. Any insight for install would be appreciated. Examples: since the aluminum rear porch is occupied with the rear awning and running lights, no real estate is left to centrally mount the camera. Can the camera bracket be riveted to the fiberglass rear wall --------- above the rear door ? My experience with riveting anything to fiberglass is nil. Replace the central rear running light with the camera ? Where can I gain access to power(even though wireless, the camera requires DC power for transmission) ---------- via the rear porch light switch (above the inside rear door) or the central running light power ? Since I drive my RV with the lights on, the camera would always be operational.
FYI: 10 years ago, on my Lance I was able to install a non-wireless voyager, by attaching the aluminum camera bracket to the rear porch with aluminum rivets, just below the running lights ----------- and routing the 15 foot composite signal and power cable thru rear camper wall and inside cabinets to below the sink (power access and transmission). The transmitter emitted the 3 foot distance through the pass through window to the cab mounted monitor. In contrast to the wireless systems of 10 years ago, interference was not an issue ---------- even next to power stations, broadcast antennas, and commercial trucks. I understand the wireless systems of today have improved dramatically.
