Put together the OEM component backup camera.  I ended up using a Polycase weatherproof box.  I used 8-32 threaded inserts into the bottom of the camper to mount it and then P-clamps on the wiring harness.

That looks very good. I never did enclose mine, but haven't had any issues… at least so far. What angle did you set the camera? I left mine in a similar angle as when it was in the tailgate and that seems to give an excellent field of view.

Yeah, that looks pretty good. I never got around to a permanent solution as my temporary fix has been working fine. Nice work.

Since the camera was going to be a lot lower than it's stock position I set it so it looks straight out the back.  So far I'm pleased with the results. I didn't realize how much of a convenience the camera is.

I installed the unit (link below) in about an hour. It would have been quicker but I ran a new fused hot line from the driver side battery because I wanted a "fill time" camera not just when I was in R. It transmits on wifi and works perfectly with my Galaxy S3. I use the phone mount in the 2nd link. Freedom from wire and BlueTooth!

Chnlisle, that is a VERY cool setup. I was looking for something like that 6 months ago and could not find it, so bought a cheap wired video setup instead. Keep us posted on how well it works.

I love this thing.  I did change it from the bottom of the license plate to the top for a better view.  Here's a picture of the view before I changed the camera position.

I was pulled over by AZ HP a few minutes ago and warned that the camera was partially blocking ARIZONA on my lic. plate.  It's a violation here in the state where one can go into a bar with a concealed loaded weapon.  So back to the bottom bolts.  Oh well I still love this thing.

 

Ahhhhhh bullets and booze.  Is that fun or what.
