Care to share a link to your e-bay camera/monitor? I think I've exceeded Tim/RV Cams tolerance with my questions. Looking at the same upgrade, provided I can make it work with our "non-standard" factory side cameras and selector-switch.

Steve,

When you speak of "offshore" stuff, whether it has a name brand or not, 99% of the time it is made outside our country. Iphones, Macs, most PCs are all made in China. So it is very unlikely that a name brand video camera has an origin outside of Japan or China. Please don't take this as a personal jab, you have just given me a chance to stand on my soapbox. We all remember when Zenith, Motorola, RCA televisions were made right here. If we cut some of the tax credits for offshore sourcing, we might start to see "Made in the USA" on more products. And with a strong dollar, diesel might not cost $5/gal.

Amen. China is the world's factory now. Not likely to change anytime soon. Even China is outsourcing now - to Vietnam, among other places. Soon it will be Africa.

I was thinking more in terms of support and warranty related issues in terms of buying offshore. Buying "locally" at least hopefully you can get repairs or a replacement in a timely fashion. On the other hand, for $100 it's hard to ignore.

Awhile back I bought a 10 pack of button cells for 99 cents with free shipping on ebay. Came out of Singapore, took 12 days to arrive. The same type of battery here was selling for $2.50 to $4 apiece. Really wondered what I'd be getting, but they all checked out and are working fine. Hard to argue with the value.

I trust this link will work but keep in mind this is a two channel monitor, only Vid 1 and Vid 2. I am not sure it will work with multiple cameras such as side cameras. I purchased a 7" LCD Monitor on eBay last year that had four channels for under $200. Still there are little glitches that you have to work out yourself with no tech support and if something goes wrong I have never expected warranty service. Make sure to use Pay Pal for payment. For security reasons you don't want to use a personal credit card.

Kent,
This offer includes a camera & display unit? Is it color or B&W?

This is a color camera. The video monitor has two video inputs and will work with most any video camera or even a HD camcorder. They have a model with three inputs. You can select inputs with a button on the face or use the supplied remote control. The camera will output to a computer monitor or any size HDTV with an inexpensive RCA to VGA adapter. Don't have to pay any attention to right side up on the camera as the monitor has normal, inverted, mirror image selection. One input is the default input so the selected camera is featured at startup. Will post detailed camera mounting instructions with photos later today.

Pierce,
Does this setup work with the Javelina? Can the tank level monitoring, battery voltage be selected? Is the toggling from camera to tank levels done with the existing switch or from a display switch?

I ask because I know zilch about how this is rear view & tank levels are set up even with the factory setup. My OEM setup is and o/off switch & a two position switch to change from tank levels to rear view.

Peter & Beth,

When I first did a temp installation of the camera, it looked fine on the original CRT display. I should say I think it looked fine as I just glanced at it but was too busy patting myself on the back to notice if the image might been reversed. Sure I would have remembered if things were backward but I can't say where I put my glasses or wallet half the time. I pulled the display and the electronics under the dash cover the next day and installed digital house/engine volt meters where the CRT was. I did have the camera plugged into a 22" monitor that I had mounted in the middle by the pull out tray and that image looked correct. So 95% certain it's OK. Check my latest post in the tech section for installation blow by blow and fotos.

Sorry, should have said I just changed the camera without even raising the dash cover when I did the temp camera installation.
