Garmin 660 LMT with BC 30 Back up Camera
Would like a back up camera to monitor my boat when towing with my 31' Class C. Camera will also be helpful for boat launching/retrieval. I have found and read many of the various threads regardin...

I realize this is an older thread but wanted to ask a question for those of you who have installed the BC-30 camera.
I was considering tying into the 12V Power pin (the pin that charges the RV batteries) on the RV 7-way connector so the camera will have power regardless of the running lights or back-up lights being energized. However, what I'd like to know is if the circuit is back fed by the batteries. I know a quick test of that pin on the RV side while disconnected will give me an answer as I'm unable to test it at the moment. I want to avoid the camera being a constant parasitic draw on the batteries while boondocking.
My hope is that the 12V Power pin is only energized when connected to my truck. And yes, I do know my truck has 12V on that pin when it is running.
Thanks in advance for any insight into this.
