Is Drilling Required to Install Rear View Safety Backup Camera System w/Side Cameras
Question:
How are these cameras mounted on aluminum airstream shell? Can this be done without drilling into shell? Are there any truly wireless cameras out there? Thank you for your assistance

Expert Reply:
The Rear View Safety Backup Camera System with Side Cameras # RVS-062710 comes with hardware to attach the cameras to the outside of the trailer. This would require drilling into the outer body of your Airstream. If you go with this system along with the quick tow # RVS-2133, I recommend putting a dab of silicone sealant # LT37464 at the holes so no water can get in. You would also presumably have to drill holes to run the wiring. The side cameras do have gaskets so you would not have to use silicone with them (but it wouldn't hurt).
We do have wireless systems, see link, but the cameras do have to get power from somewhere so they will need to tap into a reverse light or tail light circuit for that. The connection from the camera to the monitor though would be wireless.
