I would like to fit a camera to the back of my expanda so I can see what's behind me when towing. Everything is ready to go at the car end, but I need to fit the camera and run the wires on the van.
At the back of the van it seems there is a helpful bump in the firbreglass, just under the break light, which would be perfect to mount a camera:
On the inside of the van it seems that I can access that area via the high cupboards. However they seem to have this black plastic lining the rear:
From then on the wires run down the bottom then come out the fibreglass at the rear:
It's a pretty simple run from there to the front and the trailer coupling.
Does anybody know what's behind that black plastic and how to remove it? I'm a bit reluctant to start poking around at it in my new van. For those that have rear camera's how did you go about fitting them?
As an aside, what plug do people use for connecting a camera on the van to the car? It would be easy enough to fit a small 7pin trailer plug - but I'm a little worried somebody my try to plug a trailer into it!
