Dear Friends ... Have an older RV that came with a RVS Camera System. However, in need of input from our Forum Family. The RVS camera system appears to be in need of a replacement. A few questions, if you will?The current system is a wired system. Need a system that can be turn on and operated while traveling as I need to keep track of all vehicles directly behind & up close. Also would like a Wired unit that can clearly detect traffic in after dark driving. I have a monitor that was nicely installed on dash that can be used to view rear or back up situations. What do our RVers use or suggest I replace this Unit with? Hope this helps? Any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much! :)?? KC

Since you have an older RV, just upgrade the entire system.I bought this system a few years ago. It is truly high def.I wired it so the camera is on all the time. You can also turn it off with a remote fob.LINK

I checked about a new system me time ago, and was told that whatever was installed , there were adapters to allow the new system to use the old cables and plugs. Hope that helps you some. Most systems are wired to be on with the ignition, so that is not a problem. Whenever you are driving, it is on. No need to turn it off. Most larger RV supply stores will have whatever you need, or you can order online.

Worked rather nicely for a while. More than likely I'll go with a newer RVS unit. Thank you!

I thought about a wireless unit, however from the information you provided, I think it best to replace the RVS camera with a newer model that the unit was originally wired and set up for the RVS. Thanks again! That helps!
