my coach had a newell homegrown camera monitor.  pictures below.  it had stopped working.

ordered a voyager setup from rvcams.  

found that the rear camera had 12v to it all the time.  so for 22 years it had been powered on.  the front monitor only comes on when the ignition is on and the monitor switch on the left drivers console is on.  

so michael day is here visiting and we got the install started.  ran new 12v switched power from the engine bay to the rear camera.  and since i am moving the new lcd monitor to be overhead ran 12v power and video from the lower dash to the upper dash.  

the same place the old monitor was is my car stereo, ac controls, hwh panel etc.  so i will make a new panel to go in there and relocate the things to be easier to use.  my ac controls were at my ankle which was strange.  

trying to figure out what plastic to use to make a new dash panel.  any suggestions?   i will probably had it laser cut or cnc's along with a match thin aluminum panel to make it stronger.  that thin woodgrain plastic cracked and broke.  

will get the camera next week.
