flying blind camera ready?
Frustrated and flying blind on camera ready!
Attempting to install a new Furrion backup camera on my new 2021 Cougar 26RBS ½ Ton, that has a Camera Ready decal on upper rear (and camera
mounts on front left and right of trailer).
The trailer is stated as camera ready with a big decal a couple inches BELOW upper middle marker
light on rear of trailer. My dealer service department (200+ miles away) and Keystone CS both said
they have no detailed info. There is nothing obvious in my owner manual or on the Keystone RV site that I have seen. Cannot find a video or the word camera in the Keystone manual. No bracket and no predrilled hole. I am on my own I guess. But Keystone saved a $1.99.
So with only a decal, I drilled a 3/8 inch hole 2.5 inches below the marker light and through the center of the decal, per Furrion.
Bam !! Ended up drilling through metal, like framing.
No wire or connecter seen with my flashlight. Cougar RV service departments have no help for me.
So Keystone says its camera ready and only places a decal with no info at all. This is crap!
So really its not camera ready, I guess, and is only false advertising by Keystone. If I have to drive
to an RV service bay they will charge me to start from scratch. I am
smart and can do the job if I just had info.
I am not going to drill anymore holes until I get a diagram of the back wall. I have already degraded my new trailer by drilling a hole while flying blind. I will not be able to get a wire from the marker light above with metal framing in the way in any case.
Thanks for any advice.
