I recently purchased a Class A 2008 Hurricane. It has a BW backup camera. Has anyone ever updated to a color camera? Would the cost be prohibitive? Can it be done? TIA David
Thanks for info.Ah, heck, now you want me to remember back 7 or 8 years . I think I paid in the vicinity of $300 for the system. It only had one wireless camera and the monitor. It wasn't the cheapest they offered, and it wasn't the highest price one either.
Thank you.If your current system is Weldex it can be upgraded to color. You'll need a color monitor and camera. You may also need a mounting adapter.
Thanks for the great info!Received this info from ASA (makers of the Voyager products) - about retrofitting our VOM-78 unit.
The extension cables that run through the coach for the rear and side cameras can be used still - no need to run new wire. The monitor can be replaced but if you use the existing cameras and they are black and white, the image will be in black and white. There are adapters needed when replacing - that part is OCA85E.
Our friends at RV Cams specialize in retrofitting older systems with new. Please reach out to them at 877-378-2267 and they will be able to help with the new install of either the monitor, cameras or both.
Thank you so much!Amazon lists a number of sub-$100 color camera and monitor sets that are well suited to RV use. Here's just one example that uses a similar setup to the dual camera system I installed 7 years ago.
Muddy, I've probably got the same sytem in my 05 Pace Arrow. Are you saying that the old wiring will work and all you needed to do is buy a new camera and monitor? If so what did you buy? If not, what else did you have to do?If your current system is Weldex it can be upgraded to color. You'll need a color monitor and camera. You may also need a mounting adapter.
Anyone remember what the rear view monitor that was shaped like a rear view mirror and attached to same?
