Title: Right side camera mount?
Post by: Protech Racing on April 19, 2019, 08:20:51 pm
For those of you that have fit the  blind side camera, where did you mount it?  Looks like it could work in quite a few places. Maybe even pointed out through a window.

Ahead of the door, below the floor.  Wiring was pretty easy, view is very good.  Manitor switches to that camera when rt turn signals are on.  4 way flashers too.

Aimable, wide angle lens, infrared night view as well.

How much and what components? My coach has a manual 3 view colour screen/inputs, and I don't know much about that kinda thing and no documentation. Or just start over as new stuff is cheap?

Our 97 had a Foretravel oem on the line installed right side camera in a gel coated fiberglass "bump" panel with a glass window in it.

Wanna bet Foretravel still has the mold.  Use my build number.  #5132. 

If anyone wants a picture I could post one.

Harder to scrape off protected.

Regular old style camera in it.  Still works 22 years later

Here's where I mounted mine. I used one of those cheapo Chinese cameras which they almost paid me to buy.

Thanks. I think that I will make a pie shaped box to mount under my new trafficator. The little Chinese wireless still works swell for the rear, so ordered another for the side.

You want a good camera with infrared for night, wide angle to get the blind spot and an adjustable aim. And one that will last longer than you own your coach.  Get a good one.
