rear camera install

[gpeade]

Asking for advise here. I have a Jayco TT with Fiberglass sides. I want to add a rear view camera to the back of it. I would prefer to go hardwired over wireless for the reliability. I have no problem running the wires the length on the unit underneath. My concern is how would I get them from the camera down underneath the unit? I'm not going to tear out an interior wall just to fish this cable down. I can get surface applied wire raceway that is made for exterior that wouldn't look too bad back there but I would prefer the wire be hidden completely. Anyone know an easy way to run this wire from the camera to the bottom of the unit?

We use this one on our 32.5' TT...

Yuwei Rear Observation Camera

Works great and it's about half the price of the Furrion model

It's a Furrion (still use it). Our Grand Design fifth wheel came with the mount and power connection for Furrion already in place. If that's not already there, it's very easy to get power from the top center clearance light on the RV when installing it yourself.

That said, a rear camera is not the end-all for backing up - my wife still stands back there with a two-way radio when backing into tight spots. I find the camera very useful, though, for double-checking clearance when pulling back over after passing a semi and situations like that.

My best "advice" would be to go with wireless. We have used one for over 3.5 years with no reliability issues at all. The installation is far simpler and there's one less thing to mess with when hitching or unhitching.
