Rear view camera installation - Bailey Unicorn

[fkeates]

I'm interested in how people have installed a rear view camera to the back of their caravan (Bailey Unicorn, ideally, Madrid). where they got the 12v feed from, how/where the wires went and how the camera was secured to the back. interested in both wireless and wired set-ups (how / where the wires went from caravan to car in wired set-ups)

I'm not interested in the battery-type camera as I need it to connect to my car system, and they're not compatible.

Note, I installed a wireless camera on my previous caravan and got the 12v from the rear lights, feeding the wire through the back of the high level brake light (camera was at the top of the 'van) down through the paneling to the rear lights. can't do that with this van

I have fitted a wireless system to my Phoenix. Power (and return) taken from the fuse block under the front bench corner. Then down through the floor, zip tied to the cables running along the floor, back up through the floor into the cupboards/wardrobe at tue rear and then out through the rear panel at the top. Correct sized hole saw used (18.5mm) along with grommet supplied with the camera has kept the water out for 6 years. Camera mounting bracket Sikaflexed onto the rear panel near the top, excellent view back down the road over the top of following traffic..
Works perfectly as the camera is only powered up when the caravan is hitched to the car. The monitor is hard wired into the ignition dependent circuit of the car.
Simples! Well almost

On the subject of hole cutters I've found "step drill bits" very useful in the past.They are able to cut from approx 4mm to 22mm on one bit,I bought a set of three from one of the well known German/Holland? Supermarkets,Very clean and accurate cut,,priced around £10...each cutting edge is etched with it's size.
