Do you have phono connecter or a multi pin?

Just fitted the £39.89 one. Works well. Six day delivery.
I replaced twin lens camera yesterday. Was a 4 pin connection straight to existing monitor on my rear view mirror. It was on eBay £39.89 ( Inc postage) if it is same as yours? See stealaways post. I have tips for you if it is?
I'm hoping to fit one of these when my new MH arrives. A very neat, unobtrusive camera. Yes, expensive but you only have to pay it once!I had the Camos Jewel Camera from Road Pro fitted to my m/h, and I am extremely happy with it. It doubles as a rear view / reversing camera. You can purchase the camera and fitting kit, (unfortunately they do not come cheap), if you are able to fit it yourself. Road Pro have a fitting service, but Daventry is a long way from your base. You could of course combine it with a tour of the area if you have the time. Road Pro allowed me to stay overnight at their premises, with hook up. Their service was excellent.

Although the routing of rear view cameras looks daunting, over the years messing about with MH's I have discovered that most (if not all) vans have built in routes for cables, of which there can be many. Certainly worth more than a cursory glance. Some fitters allow about 1 hour to fit, so I was told last time I enquired, which may of course depend on the model.
Looks like ours was factory fitted during construction and wiring is well hidden, would need to remove cupboards and possible interior ceiling to access. The chap who comes to us spent almost 2hours and couldn't find the wiring, neither could the local car place who also does motorhomes, will see if anyone can have a look at Peterborough, but really should ask on the Laika face bool page Camper UK quoted £1300 robbing sods or they don't want the job.
Or they know what's involved!
May well be in fact am sure they will be as everything visible is, just looks like wiring for camera has been put in before the ceiling was fitted, suppose there is a possibility it is powered by a live feed from one of the rear internal lights, but as it isn't working pulling the fuses wont help. Waiting for a response from someone recommended by a dealer, as he hasn't got back to us think it may be a mare of a job.
what type ive been wanting a wireless one as dont want to wire one in?I’ve got a wireless camera on my van, no problems so far despite unfounded rumours of interference from mobile phones et al
You still need to power it somehow unless you want to use a battery one with all the complication of keeping the battery charged. So still need a wire!
could you not use the cigarette lighter power?
Possibly but the camera is on the outside so you have to get a wire from inside to outside for power, so why not a wired camera?
I have a wireless one too and it's suspension bridges that I get the interference from.I’ve got a wireless camera on my van, no problems so far despite unfounded rumours of interference from mobile phones et al
But it’s not completely wireless so you still need to get a wire to it to power it! Admittedly you don’t have to thread wires to the front of the van if you can get power from the back of the vehicle.
It’s the transmission that is wireless. I was able to pick up a feed close by.

I second this option. Our Adria came with a Campos single lens camera aligned for reversing with a dash mount monitor, While ok for that purpose the boss said she would prefer of we could see what was behind us, so at the Harrogate show the other week, I bought a twin lens option with mirror mounted screen. Unfortunately it didn’t use existing wiring, bit dissapointed with that however at nearly £200 cheaper than the Campos version I can live with that. Currently on a 2 week tour of Northern Ireland and have to say best update to the van yet, so much safer and with monitor on useless rear view mirror, a more natural viewpoint for glancing at. I did all the work myself so no other costs involved. The man at the stall knew his stuff and was very helpful too
