Just wondering how anyone has replaced the backup camera? Did you have to cut through the fiberglass? It appears that our camera on the magna 630 45' is fiberglass end in and has great bad. I'm thinking we need to cut it out and replace but that will involve lots of fiberglass work? Are we missing something?
That's again for your help.

There should be a panel in the rear closet to gain access to the camera.

Yes there is but it appears the camera is fiber glassed in?

If it is a Voyager, there are two screws on each side to a mounting bracket. I have a 2006 Inspire and my rear camera went out. Bought a used unit from Northwestern in Oregon and plugged it in, still didn't work. Took the coach to an installation place and they found a broken wire in the engine compartment. So hopefully you have checked the exposed wires and connectors.

I was able to cut the plastic sealed edge around the old camera box, leaving the box in the back wall of the RV, then mounted a new small camera inside that existing camera box.

I had a difficult time finding a actual wide angle camera where I could both see my rear bumper, and my towed car. I had bought from Amazon, and most there that say they are wide angle are not.

I did end up getting one that works, seems like it does OK at night as well.
