Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
I have a question regarding installing a new Wired Camera to my new Ford F-450 Suoer Duty.
The truck has a blank screen that is made just for my backup camera from the RV.
My question is if anyone has experience getting the wire up the rear end cap to where my camera will be installed??
We have had a wireless camera installed but the quality is not good, and now can have it directly into the dash of my truck.
If anyone has advice please let me know your thoughts.
As always I appreciate any advice in advance.
Safe travels fellow Redwood Owners.
Allen Wehr

Mine was a little easier because I had the older body style with the larger marker lights, but this is how I ran the cable. I used the marker lights and tailights for access to fish in the wiring in the back cap down to the belly (the back cap is a large open gap).

Once in the belly, I was able to fish it all the way up to the front battery compartment, then followed the main wiring harness all the way up to the pin box. I used the pin box 4x4 box to install the conversion plug to the coiled wire that connects to the truck bed.

It was a pleasure finally going to a reliable wired system!

Wonderful explanation with pictures. Thanks so much. Headed to our winter camp December 9th so we can work on it in the warmth. Thanks again Adam Ant for your reply. I will let you know when I get it installed.
Have a Great Thanksgiving.
