wolfe10 Report post Posted December 18, 2016 colt9 Welcome to the FMCA Forum. Probably the best source of what will offer you a "plug an play" based on our present system is to contact these guys with exactly what make and model you currently have. This is what they do for a living and have a number of adapters for going from one type of connection to another. They also have technicians if you run into problems : http://www.rvcams.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted December 18, 2016 I just finished working with Tim at www.RVcams.com . You can drop Tim an e-mail at Tim@rvcams.com . He is very knowledgeable and very helpful. The direct answer to your question is yes, absolutely. Will it be a plug and play replacement? Maybe not but it certainly is doable. I just updated my 1988 B&W Intec backup system to a full color Voyager backup system. I took everything out except the actual wiring harness from front to rear and RV Cams sent along a wiring diagram explaining what needed to be wired to what and it was just a matter of making some connections with 5 very small wires. They recommend twisting and soldering the wires but using some butt connectors did the job just as well. If I am every walking around just desperate to find something to do I am solder the wires in the future (no, I'm good unless the connections fail!). In any case, drop Tim a line and/or visit their website. I rarely run into a company that does all they promise so I simply cannot say enough good about these folks. Let me know if you have any questions I might be able to answer about my conversion. By the way, I have had NO B/U camera since about 2006 or so giving me serious concerns that what Tim said would actually work. It did and it does! Awesome.
