Ss-ss's 14.44-4

[Ss--ss]

G'day just added a reverse camera.. Got it from ebay & takes 3 inputs.. I never liked the prado reverse camera as it doesn't have a view of the towbar.. This I put in does & the other is on the back of the 14.44-4 .. Heres some photos

like the camera, is the curled up black cable the AV lead? Do you have any links to where you got it from?

The curly bit is the joiner between the car & the van , it carries video, sound & power to the caravan camera so you don't need to worry about that on the caravan side. Here's the link

Hi @Ss--ss

Are you able to take pics of your full install of the camera?
I have the same model van and am wanting to do this as well so am curious as to how you ran it along the van and up into the bunk area keeping it looking neat.

Thanks

BJ

Hi bmhdg76
If you see the pic above of the inside back wall what I basically did was drill a hole (with a step drill bit)at the height of the top bunk mattress so it would be hidden away.. The back wall is solid with insulation, I read other models ran cables from inside wall cavity but the 14.44-4 is filled with insulation... From there the cable runs to the top bunk storage where I drilled another hole , then through to the wardrobe.. From there just followed down the holes jayco already had to the floor.. Once through the floor followed other cables & through the chassis rail & out the rubber grommet.. Filled all the holes with sikaflex & cable tied ..

Bit hard to explain but that's how I did it, best to start from the back & work forward. Everything came in the kit except the bracket on the drawbar I had to make from a computer rack mount ear.. Here's a few more photos.. Hope it helps.

are those shelves in your wardrobe home made or factory. Also what are the water pipes passing through the wardrobe for.

Like your work on the reverse camera.

 

[Ss--ss]

Yes MDS69, the shelves are factory & the red/ black pipes go to the external shower which is on the external wall behind the wardrobe .

that's a strange one, they must have changed it. Our HWS is under the front dining seat with all pipe work under the van and the pipes pop up in the rear boot with the hatch near the number plate. Were the factory shelves an option or standard.

Thanks @Ss--ss appreciated.
Our air con unit is in the wardrobe so if we had the hws it would have gone in the dinette seat as well.
