Jnnsen XRV10
In my'19 Forza 34T, I have the Jensen XRV10 Radio/Camera/Blue Tooth unit. I checked the Owner's Manual and on-line and can find no information regarding the following: I'm trying to set my back-up cam...

Gdetrailer,
Thank you for the information. But, respectfully, I must disagree with you. The monitor goes on with the turn signals while moving forward. My previous MH showed the backup mirror while in drive. This is the way that I and other people monitored their toads and other things behind them for many years. The safety police don't considers this a distraction. As for modifying it, sounds like it would take a master technician to figure it all out and make a work around. Again, thanks.
Disagree if you like, sorry that you don't think it can be a safety issue having a glaring monitor on all the time.
Yes, it IS intentionally setup by your vehicle manufacturer to ONLY provide the monitor/camera when in reverse OR in your case WHEN THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ALSO ON.
THIS IS STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT ON MOST ANY VEHICLE WITH BACKUP AND OR SIDE CAMERAS.
Keeping in mind that Rear cameras ARE "required" by the NHTSA for ALL vehicles of 10K lbs GVWR and under. For vehicles OVER 10K lbs, it is optional but I suspect that if it is OEM installed IT WILL "CONFORM" to ALL of the technical requirements outlined in the link below.

Modifying the behavior for an ELECTRONICS TECH should be do able, not so much for standard auto mechanics. However, in doing so you do need to understand that modifying this vision system MAY make your vehicle be out of compliance of the requirements per the document above..
Please note the following text from that document, especially the bolded part...
"On May 1, 2018, the other FMVSS 111 rearview system performance requirements, in addition to field of view, take effect.
Most of these involve system hardware and electronics characteristics, such as response time, linger time, deactivation, default view and durability.
Another requirement is image size, which can be affected by the camera and its location when replacing or relocating an OEM-supplied unit. Reviewing chassis manufacturers’ incomplete vehicle documents will be an important first step in preparation for completing vehicles from chassis cabs, cutaways, etc. This will enable you to see what is involved with compliance to FMVSS 111 for the particular vehicle."
Because of the "non compliance" part, you might find that most auto mechanics not willing to touch your system to modify the characteristics.
Personally, since you are apparently not "Tech savy" AND if you really MUST have that rear camera I would suggest just buying an extra camera/monitor and DIY it yourself.. They do make "wireless" camera/monitor systems that would fit your bill.. The downside of those is sometimes the wireless units do not have much range and video might not always work as good as wired..
