2016-2019 GM HD truck tailgate camera connection relocate
Hi all, just wanted to share this with the truck camper crowd as I know a lot of us have to remove our tailgates. If you own a 2016-2019 Silverado / Sierra HD then you know how much of a pain in the a$$ it is to disconnect that camera. I found a company willing to make a extension harness that will plug into the junction block up on the frame by the spare tire and relocate the other end to your desired location. I ended up putting mine behind my licence plate for now. Hope this helps, cheers! Here is a link to the harness-> Camera connection relocate3.2KViews5likes1CommentRe: Tailgate removal 2019 Chevy 3500HD
I know this is an old post, but I wanted to update this as I have found a company that will make a camera harness so you can relocate where you have the tailgate camera connection. https://harnessdr.com/product/2016-2019-silverado-sierra-reverse-camera-extension-harness-36/ A couple of pictures of mine:1.9KViews1like0Comments- 42KViews1like0Comments

We’ve only seen 2 come in off the transport so far. Not a lot yet. So we will see. You must have fallen asleep. The patent drawings show a cylinder head with the housing as one. Good luck with that!

IDK, I would suspect the frame to be the last thing to fail when over loaded. Tires/wheels first, then axle followed by springs etc. Had my 03 GMC 2500 overloaded with my Bigfoot camper and boat for many years with no failures.

Did you notice the post from someone with the same truck? CCC is 4738#. The owner of the broken truck had a camper with a base weight of 5000#. Water and propane bring that to 5500#. Accessories are not included. We can see solar, awnings and a roof rack. I can't see if there is an A/C unit or a generator neither are in the base weight. At a minimum the weight will be 6000#. That does not include the bikes or rack, tools, kitchen gear, food, bedding, air compressor and personal items very likely totally well over 1000#. Best guess is this unit was in the range of 7000-7500# or roughly 2500-3000# over the CCC. In addition there is clearly an issue with center of gravity. Sadly beginners and often experienced truck camper users often fail to realize how heavy their rigs are. "Conventional wisdom" on this forum is, NONE OF THAT MATTERS! Axle's rated for 11K! Nobody's ever broken a frame! Telling someone they needed a 4500-5500 class truck to carry a camper like that got you ostracized as a worry wart, weight police, fun-hating SQUARE. This thread just oozes with HYPOCRISY. DING DING DING, we have a winner! This is so true.756Views0likes0Comments
