On my Ford the light pickup sensor for auto mode is on the dash, it's a little black hump. When towing I simply put a piece of black cardboard paper over it and leave the headlights in auto.

Contrary to logical thinking, my 2019 25G Momentum rear Furion camera set up was wired to trailer 12 volt circuit. On all the time with battery switch on. I was able to move it to running lights. Brain fart on GDs part.

On my 2500RL camera was powered on the same circuit as the thermostat. Added a remote switch in series with the power and use that to turn camera off and on.

This is good information. I just installed a Furrion Vision S on my Solitude S 3350RL. However, the power remains on the 3 cameras all the time. Not a big deal, but it is another draw on the RV battery. How did you determine what circuit your camera was powered from and where did you locate / install the on/off switch. Also, we’re all three (3) cameras powered from the same circuit?

One more thought, the camera system I purchased, I believe is the latest model, it is set with LED Marker lights and it also has a fourth wire labeled “Trigger Signal” on the Marker Lights. I assume this automatically displays the correct view on the monitor when the turn signal is selected. This would be a great feature, but my 2020 Solitude is not wired with the turn single in the marker light unit. Has anybody attempted to run the necessary wiring needed for the turn single in the marker light to take advantage of this option? If so, could you walk me through the steps of how you did it.

Thanks,

I hooked up the camera. While a friend looked at the power light I pulled fuses until light went out. Once I determined circuit I searched for what else was not working. The thermostat did not. Figured thermostat would have some connection to A/C. The wires at camera connection were white and white with red tracer. Removed cover to A/C and found wires those colors group with others. Disconnected them and tested for power and connectivity back to camera. The switch fit nicely in the A/C area under the cover. Have is the remote switch I used.

It is a logisys RM02.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Very helpful. The information on the remote switch is great. I didn’t even think about a remote switch. I was just planning on installing a mechanical switch and try to hide it somewhere fairly accessible. This would make for a much cleaner install. Am I correct in thinking the only issue is battery drain? It is not a problem to leave the camera on all the time, is that correct?

Thanks, Mark

Not sure what Furrion says. But if left on it will drain the battery. We turn it off once we are set up and when trailer is not in use. Additionally we disconnect battery when trailer is in storage.

I'd like to rewire my connector so that trailer lights are always on (and the cameras too). Has anyone done this?
