Fixing a Few Things in Miss Travelaire

The inside of the motorhome is a bit of a mess right now.

I'm trying to get the backup camera to work better. The camera is mounted in the back window, which is quite a distance from the display part of it, which is mounted on the dash in the cab of the Ford truck. Since it works by transmitting the signal via an antenna, we've been getting a lot of electrical interference to the point that it is almost unusable at times. So, as you can see in the picture I've been experimenting with using a coaxial cable to bring the signal up to the front of the motorhome. It seems to be working - although I've fooled myself more than once trying to get this thing to work!

 

My electrician (his name is Eric) installed a thermostat for me last night (thanks Eric!) The thermostat on the right operates one of the electrical plugs on the left, so we can plug our heater in and have it nicely thermostatically controled (that is, if we happen to be parked somewhere where there is an electrical connection!) If you want fine electrical work like this done, you can visit Eric's website (advertisment in lieu of payment!)
