Started installing the Seeland and there is a lot of wires going into this
42-25498 Foretravel
Audit 8TS CPU        from the old system but there is other wires also going into
it. Does anyone know what else it is used for. Also a picture of it.

I think its a Audit 8T8 (rather than 8TS).  See diagram linked below - found in our Forum library:

Thanks Chuck I think I can get rid of it. I will disconnect everything and see if
the camera still works as the wiring to the camera comes in on different wires
before I get rid off it.

Looking for the best route to run wire for my SeeLevel display that I want to install above the microwave, down to the basement.  I have found where a bundle of wires goes through the floor into the basement and can get my wire through there, but where should I snake the wires up from behind the kitchen cabinets to the overhead cabinets?

There is a coiled up phone cable in there that probably went to the old Xantrex display, that is unused.  I'm guessing I could use this as a fish if I knew where the other end comes out.  Any ideas?

My fridge is next to the cabinets above the microwave.  There are wires running behind the fridge that are visible on the extreme right (toward front) in the outside access area.  I was able to fish a wire down from there to under the  bottom cabinets and up from there into the area behind the microwave. 

Toughest part was removing all the controls (Aquahot etc) from the area above the microwave and refitting everything with a new panel to house the SeeLevel.

I also used a hot wire with fuse from under the cabinets as power for the SeeLevel.  Easy to get to by removing the drawer.

I accessed the area above the microwave from outside behind the fridge. In that opening toward the front/outside wall there is a wire bundle that goes up behind the fridge and is accessible above the microwave. I used some fiberglass wire pulling rods that i got at HF and some wire pulling lube. I pulled 2 wires with 4 wires in each for future use. I pulled the wires up to the microwave. From there I drilled forward into the area behind the cabinets then down to the basement where I could run it over 2 basements the the wet bay..

Not having much luck with a metal fish tape, trying to go right where you are describing Keith.  Might need to pull the fridge for better access.  Guess it will have to wait...I just don't have the time or will to do it myself before our next trip.

I used a fiberglass wire running kit, stiffer than a fish tape. Cheap at harbor freight if you have one near.  Pushed it up thru the bottom, attached the wires at the top and had someone pull them thru as I pushed them down. Got some wire pulling lube, from Home Depot I think, and squirted it in the hole to help make everything slick. Good luck

Yes Chuck it is Audit 8T8 and I removed it today and I am cleaning up the
wiring. Who ever put in the new backup camera they used a green wire for
the hot wire, I changed it to red. The Seelevel instal in the dash was straight
forward and I have a lot more room behind the dash.
