EXCELLENT! Thank you...this seemed pretty daunting to me, until I watched your vid!

[@BruhBoyMom]

Thank you!! I bought this system for my converted school bus and I had no clue how to install it. Your details are very appreciated!

[@ktoutdoor]

Thanks for watching Laci

[@HelloWorldRobnLisa]

Sweet video Kevin!! Wow, that took a bit of tinkering to get everything looking factory. Thank you again for putting these DIY videos out.

[@ktoutdoor]

Thanks for watching stay tuned lots more to come

[@JohnnyHaren-d4t]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It really helped a lot

[@ktoutdoor]

@@JohnnyHaren-d4t it's still working great for us.

Hey Kevin, your idea for the left/right camera mounts is brilliant and I used your design. Of course the product has changed slightly, they improved the side cam mounts (metal not plastic), but lowered the quality of the TV mount part. The version of the display mount I received was nowhere near as sturdy (the side mount parts (not used) didn't change, just the back mount). All in all and excellent DIY video - Thank You, I just finished my install on a (2005 Voyager 33v, w22). See ya on the road - Ken

[@ktoutdoor]

Thanks for contributing Ken I would love to see some pictures of your install if you get the chance you can send to my cell phone [phone] or my email address [e-mail]

[@r8edrv4fun65]

How is the quality?

[@leswilson6442]

Thanks Kevin my old voyager died and I followed your instructions except I drilled holes for side camera. Great video great system. Your videos have helped also with shuttle valve and manual retraction

[@ktoutdoor]

Thanks for watching stay tuned there's more to come...

Hey Kevin, one other thing I did, cut the end off the cable that went to the old sony monitor, and spliced in a pigtail that will connect to the new system. That way I didn't have to run another cable. Did that at both ends. The old cable has red and black, power and ground, white, audio and purple for video. The pigtail I ordered from ebay has red and black, white and yellow. Yellow to the purple for video.

[@jeffrobbins892]

Thanks for the info! I also have a Sony Monitor and would love the know the pigtail pic or catalog number so I can use the existing rear camera wiring. Please forward this info to m...I am ordering my system tomorrow! Thanks! Jeff

Your very very lucky to have these skills . Thanks for sharing!

Looks like you have all the angles covered. Another great 👍 video 📸.

[@ktoutdoor]

LOL

[@proudtexan5513]

Excellent camera system and professional installation!!!

[@alacosta5265]

excellent video. wonderful detail on installation, think you got me sold. curious if its a good idea to install the back camera where you see the back in of your tow vehicle to give you a good idea when you are clear to merge when passing a vehicle.

[@ktoutdoor]

In fact I was just thinking the other day I need to raise my camera angle so I can see rear of the car. its pointed to low at the moment

[@r.g.8416]

Excellent job , thanks for sharing 👍

Great video. Thanks.

[@brucebrannum8191]

Another detailed installation video. Great job narrating too. Nice to hear Sweet Pea’s voice once too. But a question. What is the going rate for gasoline in KY? It’s running between $3.37 to 3.75 here. In Northern IL

[@ktoutdoor]

Thanks for watching. Gas is 3.05 today in somerset ky.

[@ronniecardy]

My back up camera has color a ND the lain lines also I think it has been changed

[@MrBlankebw]

Hey Kevin were you able to get side cameras to come on while backing up ? Thanks bill 🇺🇸

[@ktoutdoor]

I'm sure it can be done but I have not researched it. May have to be done with some relays and diodes?

[@sparks2999]

Kevin - I have the very same system installed on my Class A. At first I thought it had great video but, in the bright daylight the cameras appear washed out on the display. Adjusting the brightness and contrast helped but they are still unusable during the bright daylight. I most likely going to spend more money and get a better system that works for me.

[@ktoutdoor]

Sorry to hear that mine are still working great, if you like the DVR system can you just upgrade to better cameras?

[@TrapperSamm]

At 24 min you jumped from running the cable down the frame rails to the cable hanging out were the camera mounts. How did you get the cable from underneath to the hole. Mine has a 6" cavity from top to bottom across the back and on mine the old cable was built into the ceiling and I can't use it to pull in a new cable. Great video.

[@ktoutdoor]

I dropped a string down the hole, then tied it to the new cable and pulled it up.

[@richoverton493]

Great review of unit. I love the way you mounted screen. I was going to order same exact unit but it does not show that same bracket. 😞

[@ktoutdoor]

You should be able to make one pretty easy. If you need help just text me some pictures of the back of the screen to 606-875-0125 Kevin

[@richoverton493]

@@ktoutdoor I ordered the unit Fingers crossed. Thanks

[@barzalou]

Question for you Kevin, do you have a video showing how to raise your dash up to access the wiring? Great video BTW 👍.

[@ktoutdoor]

Maybe somewhere but mine is really simple it just pivots towards the window on a large hinge no screws to deal with.

[@ronniecardy]

Nice system 👌

[@glocksm40]

Very cool Kevin! Nice install from you as well too of course. Another item to add to my list. Question... No sound option from back camera?? Curious. Have great one, Thx for sharing! Scott

[@ktoutdoor]

Correct I never really used it much but I still have my old wires so i could add a microphone easy enough

[@Maidendg]

Great detailed video, I've been wanting side camera and the back up camera on my (new to me) 2006 W24 isn't the best. I do have an off topic question. That whine you have that changes with RPMs, is that power steering that Workhorse says is normal noise? I have that whine and thought it was the Allison transmission at first but after reading posts on IRV2 and seeing your power steering fluid/filter change video, I was going to do the PS fluid/filter change (I already purchased the filter and fluid) to see if it helps, RV is at 54k miles and inspection found no leaks. Most everybody on IRV2 says its normal power steering noise for Workhorse per Workhorse (still plan to change filter/fluid), just would like your input on it. I've been saving many of your videos to fix/repair things on my RV. They are so helpful!

[@ktoutdoor]

Yes the wine can get very loud at 3800 RPM and you will notice the tune will change if you move the steering wheel slightly I think its the rushing of the power steering oil flowing past the bypass ball and spring.

[@Maidendg]

@@ktoutdoor Thanks, I read that people get used to the noise and don't really notice it after a while. I'm just happy its nothing majorly wrong. Have a good day and keep tinkering...and filming! Loved the window tint on plastic for darkening your screen.

[@johnstevenson5125]

Nice job

[@wingz94]

Can you tell me the fuse block you used. Like the idea

[@ktoutdoor]

Sure amzn.to/3Fyo4F3

[@jonplay3602]

I'm looking for one that will also stream to my phone much like my Waze home camera will will this do that?

[@ktoutdoor]

Sorry it won't stream to your phone. But it's still doing me a great job .

[@CJ71234]

Nice system with the side cameras, great install video Kevin, just my personnel choice maybe because that is how my current back up camera is, I like a long view, I can see my TOAD and back behind it, I can see if vehicles are passing. Can you adjust the viewing of the rear camera?

[@ktoutdoor]

I have ours adjusted low so we can see the bikes when they are loaded incase one ever tried to bounce off...yes I can adjust it for a much longer view if needed.

[@CJ71234]

@@ktoutdoor Ok great, might have to pick me up one of these, thanks for doing the video👍

They make different models i have a link below video to the one I used.

How is it working out six months later?

[@ktoutdoor]

Its working great in fact I'm camping and looking at it now. Its been on and recording for over 6 months now I love it.

[@jameshaney7011]

Hey Kevin Love your videos. I installed this system using a lot of the information you provided. I painted the outer shells of the side cameras to match the lower bout of our RV. However I do have one problem. The rear camera acts normal when I shift into reverse, BTW on my 2004 Winnebago Brave 34D the reverse activation wire was green, but I found it using your information. I get a full screen everything normal. I hooked up the left and right turn signal trigger wires and my unit goes nuts. When I activate a turn signal, the display goes to that side then starts flashing on and off in time with the turn signal blinking.....any thoughts? Had to disconnect the trigger wires for the turn signals, think it could be a problem with the display? Anyway, thanks for the great videos really appreciate them. I have installed both the Transmission Temp gauge and Fuel Pressure Gauge from MaxTow like yours, love them both, I have the Workhorse chassis, with the big 496 CI Chevy, and tow a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Also installed the ScanGauge II like yours love it also

[@ktoutdoor]

Give me a call or text . my cell is 606-875-0125 Kevin

[@larryv4249]

James, may I ask how you attached the sensor to the transmission, and what did you do to prevent rain water and wind from affecting the sensor from providing false temperature?

[@jameshaney7011]

Per our conversation changing the settings from 3 seconds to 6 seconds solved the flashy flashy problem. Per the photo, oops Sorry Larry you didn’t get the photo, and I don’t know how to attach it here, sent you remove the inspection bolt next to the transmission filter oops catch the little bit of fluid that comes out maybe a pint, screw the sensor into the hole and you don’t have any worries mate 🤠

[@randybarentine5762]

One of the Best technical videos ever made. So professionally made and explained. Great idea with cameras on turn signals. Got to follow that idea for sure.. what do you use to keep your MH so shiny? It looks Great very glossy. Truly enjoy your channel.

Kevin, been following you for a while. You seem to know everything about these and my dream is to one day have a motorhome but it's just not in the cards right now. I am curious if you would ever do anymore drive along videos. That is your perspective in the driver seat driving one of these big units.

And can you add a DVR?

maybe an o-ring outside would actually result in more h2o influx ... than the indoor 1. due to .. cooling and/or heating. May be that the outside one should just -drink & pee~
