Side Cameras

[Ole_B]

I have a 2016 Newmar ventana. I do not like the side cameras and prefer to see the towed vehicle when making a turn. Is there a way to disable the side cameras without pulling wires from the back? I have a voyager system. Thanks to all

I cut the trigger wires and put a switch. Now I can see my toad take a turn. Also. It helps to see the toad clear on lane changes. The camera mirrors are useless. Sometimes the sun blinds them. I did this 6 years ago. These builders need to add cameras at the rear lower to check on the toads tires.

Oh I love my side cameras! They actually have a better view them my mirrors, but I would like to keep one monitor on the rear 100 percent of the time.

No, you are not in the minority, I had them installed during the build of our new coach. Liberty doesn't normally install side camera's. I like 'em! 🙂

The reason is, I can turn on the camera system and see around the coach at night through the side and rear camera's on all the TV's. The side camera's have 'night vision' capability (works pretty good). At night, there is a circle of red lights around the camera that illuminate.

MM.

On Edit: Liberty now offers complete 'bird's eye' view of the coach from camera's mounted at the roofline (front, sides and rear).

Just tried the (menu) (mirror) (skip) that rjatijnet1 suggested and the icon skip is not part of the menu. The only options I have are (normal) and (mirror) Thanks

With all that said, I agree with "Mr.Mark", don't disconnect them, just learn to drive without them. I give a quick turn signal and then turn them off while making my lane change. In town during slow speed turns, leaving the turn signal on really doesn't matter.

This.

I would think more before disabling the side cameras. I use my mirrors to watch the toad during turns. The side cameras make it much safer and easier to see vehicles coming up on either side of you.

the guy asked about how to disable them not what our opinion of such was?? geez you guys go off topic so easy

I've been watching your posts and you rarely have little to offer to the conversation other than criticism and snide remarks. You've been on here for less than 3 months and all you seem to manage to do is irritate people. If you don't like the forum - or people in general for that matter - go away. This is not the place for you to compensate for a lack of whatever you are missing in your personal life to come here and troll people to feel better about yourself.

I agree, never use my side cameras and use the center camera to watch the toad. I would not bother to disconnect them, if for some reason you need them, they'll still be there.

After reading this, I think I'm going to rewire mine so the upper screen is fixed on the rear camera, and let the turn camera take over the lower radio screen, that way I can see the Jeep from the rear camera in turns.

Ole wants to thank all of you for responding. I have been out of town at a funeral and not able to respond earlier. I have just returned to AZ. For anyone checking out this post the answer is here, read the posts so you can make your own decisions.

Some people compensate by accusing others of compensating.

I have 2 monitors and one is normally the toad and the other is the radio/nav, but when I turn, they both go to turn. I too wish I could make one stay on the toad in the turn, but never figured it out.

I don't know how others are set up but mine is very simple.

All three camera RCA cables connect to a switch box. The turn signals are wired to that control box. There is one RCA output which connects to my display screen. With no turn signal on the rear camera signal is sent to the display. Each turn signal will switch the output as expected.

I disconnected the rear camera input from the switch and ran it directly to the display input.
