Rear camera

Question

We have a 2013 Winnebago, Journey 40U. 21 K miles. Full timing for 4 yrs.
We are experiencing a intermittent problem with the rear camera.
Some mornings when we start, the rear camera says. "No Video Detected".
Right and left cameras work fine. After a time on the road it will come on and stay on.
Does not even flicker. The next time we start it will come on.
Had it cked at the factory last sept. they could not find a issue.
Course when they started it over the course of several days it worked.
The factory is now booking appointments the last of sept.
Guess we will have to wait till it quits for good.
Thank you for the vent!!

Intermittant connection problem. When it doesn't work, jiggle wires to see if one of them fixes it.

If you have a connection to the camera using standard RCA barrel jacks, there may be some oxidation that is causing lack of signal. As motion ensues, the connector will seat and pass signal. The cure is to treat the connectors with an antioxidant spray or liquid like Caig Deoxit.

Another problem may be the location of the wires that connect to the camera. If the wires are exposed to the road surface, a pebble or small rock can impact a wire and part it within the jacket. You will not be able to see it. This happened to me with a wire to my trailer socket. The wire lowest to the road was hit and there was an intermittent connection to the trailer brake wiring. I discovered the break in the wire by feeling the indent in the wire jacket.
