    Back-up camera

    Does anyone have a back-up camera on their Momentum? If so can you post pictures of where the camera itself is mounted on the rear of the trailer? I know these trailers are pre-wired for a camera, but I am having some problems finding where.

    If anyone knows of a quality hard wired multi camera system, please chime in.

    Tried to find the wiring yesterday and was having some issues. Does anyone who did this install have any suggestions?

    Also-is there any reason why you can't mount the camera in place of the middle marker light? I didn't check the grommet size - but wondering if that might just be easier.

    OK - wanted to provide an update to anyone trying this in the future. The wiring is definitely back there when you pull the light out. I called GD and they recommended spraying a little silicone spray on the wiring (white wire - ground, white wire/green stripe - hot) to encourage them to slide out. They were most likely getting 'stuck' on the foam. Sprayed a little and convinced the wires to come out with some needlenose pliers and a pick. The tough part was getting the connectors (where the rear marker light connects to the white base wiring) back out of the hole - took a little convincing, but working slowly/patiently helped.

    I wound up mounting the Voyager camera just above the middle marker light - there's just enough room there and it <seemed> like it was a better mounting point than the roof. Quite honestly, I was way too nervous to cut into the roof and pretty nervous putting a hole in the side, but it all worked out.

    Did a dry run of the camera in it's parking spot and it seems to work well; just need to get final alignment <somewhere>.

    Janice told me that they are tied up behind the middle marker light in the rear. I have the wireless Voyager system, and will be installing it very soon here. To have a multi-camera wired system, you would need to figure out a way to have a quick connect between the truck/trailer.

    I have the wireless system, that only has one camera. The factory attached it to the top of the trailer, centered over the door, facing down at a 45 degree angle.

    Here are some pics. The first one showes the camera centered over the middle marker light. It is small but it is there. The others are to show it's physical location and how fr back from the rear edge they placed it.
