We checked out some friends' Kountry Aire several years ago. Owner had installed 3 rear-facing cams. One, a high-mount at the rear, with wide angle, and 2 others, right behind the hitch step. He used a commercial enclosure for the rear cam, then found some really neat, small, aerodynamic covers for the side cams. All painted to match his coach. Hard-wired to his Baby Freightliner on their own screen. He could split it 3-ways, 2 ways or isolate any single cam. He did this after about his 3rd or 4th near-miss when changing lanes.

I’d be interested in what he used for the side camera enclosure. I’ve sourced some cameras from alibaba that look to be small enough with descent sensors and IR capabilities. They are definately low profile enough for side view but could benefit from an enclosure. Most bullet cams, while small for tucking under a house eve, are just to bulky for adding to the side of the RV. Time permitting 3D printing a fairing wouldn’t be much trouble.
