Did a great mod today before heading out. Ditched the wozza cable and wired the van cam through the 12 pin plug. Won't miss lining up that fine thread.

Last trip had the non return valve fail and had to hook a hose up between the inlet and tap to be able to run water. Pulled it down and the oring had blown out! Must of had too much pressure at some point? Decided to leave it as is to try an act as a pressure minmiser and fitted a JG non return valve down stream.

I ran my rear cam thru the 12 pin for ages and it was good value, went well unto the fridge power went and melted the plug, the cam going off line alerted me to the problem quickly before everything turned to lava....................and the same thing happened with my non return, I just shoved a new Guest fitting inline but redid the whole water inlet.

Seems to be a common failure. Mine was singing like Dame Nellie Melba every time I turned on a tap

Is it just the power for the camera you ran through the 12 pin plug or video as well? Be keen to know how thats done as rear camera on the van is on the list of things to do next. I was thinking of powering from the back of the fridge 12 volt but not sure if that's a good idea or 12 pin would be better...

I just took out the wozza cable and wired the three or four wires thru the 12 pin. So in my case power , vid and audio

How well did the camera fair via the 12 pin plug. Getting tired of my camera lead now for same reason.
Best of luck selling it, although, I doubt you'll need it.
