I also put a LeeKooLuu
backup camera on my Casita. I got it from someone during one of the rallys. It included a night vision camera, 4.3” monitor and a wiring harness. I added an inexpensive
wireless transmitter/receiver that I bought from Amazon.
I mounted the
camera on the belly band just above the spare tire, ran the wiring in a
wiremold tucked under the belly band to a point just above the left taillight into a
fiberglass electric box suspended from the belly band where I placed the
wireless transmitter on the outside back of the electric box. Using the rest of the
wiremold, I ran the wiring from the
electric box down the Casita and into the side of the backup/brake/running
light assembly where I spliced it to the backup
light wiring. Finally, I used silicone caulk to seal the
electric box &
cover and the pinhole into the backup
light assembly.
When needed, the
monitor and
wireless receiver is a plug/play connection in my tow vehicle’s cigarette power jack.
I have found that it’s best to use my TV’s side mirrors when backing into a campsite without the backup camera. The camera is great once I get the Casita lined up in the campsite to insure that I’m not backing in to far or into something. I do not use the camera when driving.
If you want to use the camera when driving, you could wire it into the running lights rather than the backup lights.
