    Hello everyone, I have been a FMCA member for years but recently joined the forum. I saw alot of the world

    in 20 years of te Army and now enjoying the freedom of the open road seeing the USA by Rv and on two wheels.

    My last Rv was in a 89 Elite 36 ft pusher. Between problems of maintenance and my Harley always dirty riding on

    a elec lift, I moved on to a 37' Damon Outlaw that has a garage, with more room and horse power. Made my first

    FMCA Rally in Pamona just after I got my rig. My first added accessory was a 16 ft flag pole for Old Glory followed

    with solar panels, and adding 6 cameras to the system all to make life a bit easier. Still got lots more on my wish

    list for Santa. My co-pilot is my biker dog Ultra who rides on my Harley. We have lots of adventures ahead and

    friends to meet.

    Hope to cross paths and meet more Outlaw owners. Happy trails and keep the wind in your face. :rolleyes:

    During 1971 I was fed up with working part time and attending college full time and went to see the Navy Recruiter.

    I grew up watching McHales Navy, my father served in the south pacific during WWII, and we always had boats for

    fishing and skiing. Well, I had no arrests and 1 year of college and wanted to serve on a swift boat. Because of my

    driving record, 4 speeding tickets in 6 months, the recruiter said I was ineligible to join the Navy. I told him I only

    wanted to ride on the GD boat, not drive it. :rolleyes: It did not matter, so I went to the Army Recruiter and ended

    up staying for 20. My older cousin joined the Marines and his name is on the Wall in Wash DC. (All True)

    When it comes to camera, you get what you pay for. I do not recommend wireless as they lots of problems.

    Stick with hard wire.

    Digital cameras are best. Color cameras and monitors are best in seeing and differentiating objects.

    There are two types of cameras, those made for stick houses and those made for the abuse of moving vehicles.

    There are three kinds of back-up cameras. Stationary, tilt (moves up and down), and a Pan and Tilt Camera giving a view of 180 degree .

    I myself have a Total Vision Camera System on my Class A Outlaw (scroll down). :rolleyes: I love my pan and tilt back-up camera as it will show my hitch ball and adjust up and over my tow vehicle, and will pan to the sides showing areas that are blind spots on other back-up cameras.

    The cost of a quality camera is cheaper than increased insurance rates for accidents, the cost of deductibles, the cost of property damage of other property, the lost time of having a RV in the body shop, and the memories of hitting something.
