Rear View Camera problem
I just purchased a 2004 Itasca Sunrise M30W, and the rear view camera is inoperable. It is a Sony VCB-MH3 Camera and a Sony VCB-MHD1 monitor. When turned on, I get only a white screen on the channel (3-channel monitor) that the camera is plugged in to, and black (of course) on the other two channels. If I plug the cable into a different channel, then that same white screen follows. The contrast and brightness controls DO affect that white screen.
My problem is that I don't know if the camera is bad, the monitor is bad, or perhaps the cable is bad. My intent is to unplug the camera at the back, and plug it directly into the monitor, thereby ruling out (or in) the cable itself. But the cable out of the camera goes into the rear cap, and I don't know how long it is till the first plug, or whether or not I can pull enough to reach that plug. Anyone know? I really don't want to have to pull the cap to reach that plug, but will if necessary.
Any advice is appreciated.
