Furrion back up camera always on

[pylogix]

So I am new to the TT game but it seems strange to me that when the battery is on or we connected to power the back up camera is on. I would think that it should only be on when connected to my tow vehicle. Am I wrong?

I am fine with it being on. It overlooks my backyard. YMMV though.

Yup goofy set up indeed. I bought a $20 wireless remote switch for it but yet to install. Plan is to splice it inline someplace and use the remote in the truck to turn it on and off

I fished the power lead up to my center clearance light and spliced into clearance light. Now camera is only on when lights are on

I thought of the same thing (wireless remote switch), I'd like to know how your install goes

X2 ^^. If you search the forum, you will find numerous threads on this topic. Many have fished the power from the top center clearance light and just let the camera turn on and off with the tow vehicle lights.

I did a wireless switch on my 2800BH. Different switch though. Link below.

With help of others I found that the wire for the camera shared a fuse at the panel. Tried putting my switch behind the breaker/fuse panel but then found out that the same wire also powered some of the AC. Searched up in the ceiling AC unit and found 2 red/white wires and a red wire spliced together. Figured out which red/white went to the fuse panel and then put the switch on the other red/white. The solid red was the one going to the AC. Now I have a remote in the camper and one in the truck so I can turn the camera on and off. I also added an LED indicator switch in the ceiling AC so I remember to turn it off when camping. Works great. Many others have done it on the Facebook page.

I installed a remote on mine. Did not want to prematurely burnout the camera and it was fairly straightforward for someone with basic wiring skills. The video below was posted a few days after I installed mine, but follows the same process.

The video link didnt work. Are there any other videos/pictures out there

I found my camera wire in the back cabinet by pulling down one of the puck lights and using a fish tape to probe for it. Once located, putting in a switch was pretty easy.
