Title: backup camera
Post by: George Frudakis on June 08, 2026, 10:08:41 PM
2002 marque.  My rear camera just shows the front of my tow car and doesn't give a good look at the whole rear when backing up. Yes, I tried to adjust it, but I can't get back to do so. Is there any blue tooth camera the i can put on the back that would solve my issue?

My backup camera stopped working so I purchased a wireless system with three cameras: right, left, and rear. I am not sure I would go the same route if to do it again, unless the receiver had video outs. I am stuck with the additional 7-inch screen for the wireless unit and would rather integrate the camera feeds into my stereo head unit or the Silverleaf VM350 I recently installed.

Perhaps try searching for a hard wired wide-angle camera that can replace your existing one

I have the same issue with my Marquis.  I purchased a wireless system hoping to provide better rear coverage but the system does not have enough range for both cameras.  My next purchase will be a wired system or a wireless system that provides a repeater to extend the range of the system.  This system did not work for me:

George,
You should be able to access the camera from a removable panel in the rear closet.

There is no access panel to do so. In my older marquee, there was a panel that you just unscrewed and adjusted. If you know of a way, I would greatly appreciate the direction.

Sounds like a call to BCS may be in order. Did some research on line and it sounds like Monaco didn't provide interior access.

On my Marquis access is behind the AC breaker panel in the rear cabinets.

I have a 2003 Patriot. I replaced the existing camera with a replacement and it did not improve the picture. I believe that the old connections had lived their life. I did not want wireless due to the the length signal would have to travel. I ended up going with this system. It is not easy to wire, but we'll worth the udgrade
 in quality.

I will check the AC breaker panel. Thanks

I have taken the metal cover off the AC panel, and there is no access to the carma. I tried to send one picture, but it keeps saying to large.

    George,

  You need to remove the circuit breaker "box" and let it drop down to reveal the back cap enclosure. Then you will see the camera mount. Fred

Mike, I've been looking at the exact system you linked to. It looks like the side cameras need to be high and centered on the coach. I have a long slide on the drivers side. I don't want to mount the camera on the slide. My coach is 36'. making the halfway point at 18'. I'd have to be 22ft from the nose to avoid mounting on the slide. Do you think that would interfere with the 360 birds eye view?  Did you order a monitor with the kit? Thanks!
