Rear View Camera

I want to be able to have a rear view camera hooked up on my MH in order to monitor my tow vehicle and also help with traffic behind me. Is there a way to change the hookup of the existing camera that currently only activates when the transmission is in reverse or would I have to install a separate camera? If I have to add an additional camera, is it possible to tie it in to the dash screen or will I need a separate screen as well?

    You'll a 12v positive lead to the toggle switch then route a 16ga primary wire from the toggle to the camera. Disconnect the reverse wire on the camera and connect that primary wire from the toggle switch. You can turn the camera on or off with the toggle switch.

    Ours has that build in. You just push in the switch for either backup or camera.
