Power to back up camera/leveling jacks
Our back up camera/monitor is giving us fits, as are the people in the service dept of LaMesa RV. Our display goes out intermittently, usually after rolling over a bump in the road (not speed bump...

1. The levelers and your Back up are on the ignition side of the chassis fuse block. Hitting a bump causes that 12 volt positive connection to open because it is loose.
2. IF you suspect a Loose Ground(I HATE this statement as it is usually NOT a loose ground), then just run a separate ground wire from the back up monitor harness to a good ground. This eliminates to possible loose ground cause for the back up monitor
3. Since both the Jacks and the back up are affected at the same time, there was NO GOOD reason to replace any of the Back up system parts
4. What needs to be done is, check both the chassis fuse block and the Coach storage area fuse block(this has ignition side chassis appliances on it also on a National product), pull a fuse until both the Back up and the Leveling system goes OFF. Then isolate the wire/s for this fuse. Verify the tightness of the wiring. IF the problem continues, then take that wire and run to another Ignition side power source and retest. IF the problem persists, then the loose connection is between the fuse wire hook up and where the 2 appliances "Y" off. I would NOT attempt to go any further. I would just run a separate good 14 gauge wire from the Ignition side to both the Back up feed and the Leveling feed. Doug
