BU Monitor or Radio Combo?

<< < (2/2)

Edward Buker:
Steve,

What does the picture degrade look like? It may help with sorting out the video system problem set.

Usually there is a composite video input that ties to the monitor. If you pull that plug you should be able to plug it into another monitor/tv and see what the video looks like.

If you were going to replace the system I would probably start looking at the Garmin GPS/Camera option and maybe buy the 7 inch RV version Garmin.

Ed,
I get a lot of snow and poor brightness that is nonadjustable at the monitor. I plan to try another monitor to verify cable v camera v monitor when I get coach back from service.
Thx, Steve

Edward Buker:
That sounds like a possible cable connection issue with oxidation maybe. You could bring a monitor in the bedroom with a short cable and plug it into the camera there. I have not been into the back of my camera so I am not sure how the access is.

Steve Huber:
Access is easy through a removable panel on rear closet wall. I had it out to clean the lens and "window" just after I purchased the coach. Didn't think to tie a short cable to a monitor to check connections though. I'll use some contact cleaner on the cable connections in any case.

Steve Huber:
Got rear camera display much improved. Cleaned both lenses and improved seal around camera to reduce ingress of dust. Also cleaned cable connections. Then adjusted viewing angle of display (not something one had to worry about much with CRTS..) :). We'll see how it does.
Gerald and Ed; THX!!

Steve
