Replacement for Jensen Back up monitor
My MH has the Jensen RV212TB which has conveniently decided to take a dump about one year out of warranty. The screen starts to fade, freeze and then goes black. I have checked all wiring, reset about...

I've found generics around for $90. They are all over so I won't link just one (Amazon) because that would be unfair to the other retailers.
Just wondering though...is it possible you're losing power to the monitor? Because there's a well known issue with backup cameras/monitors in RVs not drawing enough power...which causes the contacts in the power solenoid (looks like a automotive start relay) to carbonize and develop a high resistance to low current devices. So they behave like what you're seeing with your camera.
If you think that it might be losing power, find your BCC (battery control center) and locate the solenoid that supplies battery power to the camera and monitor. Next time your backup image fades away, go whack that solenoid with a rubber mallet. If the picture comes back, means you just need a new solenoid. If not, at least you got the opportunity to whack something in your RV.
