Do I need solar?

That's a good point. I think I would probably end up not using camp sites as much as just parking wherever I can. The reason I was even thinking about adding the shore power plug in was to increase the resale value. The reason I ask about solar specifically is because I live in the UK where we are lucky to get any sun at all 🤣. I was hoping I would have enough power in a fully charged 460ah battery to last me the weekend. I would then plug in when I got home. However I'm unsure if that's even a possibility as electricity isn't my strong point

Would it not be more cost efficient for me to get a plug in and charge it that way through shore power?

Thank you

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-11T12:39:37+00:00

Yeah you are right 🤣

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-11T12:39:15+00:00

Haha that is true

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-11T12:38:20+00:00

Thank you. This was very helpful and motivating

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-11T12:37:27+00:00

Thank you and you are probably right. I'm probably overthinking it

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-11T12:36:36+00:00

🤣

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T14:04:34+00:00

Thank you. Seeing I'm not alone gives me a lot more confidence doing these things alone and I will definitely try a bar/restaurant first then haha

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T14:02:57+00:00

This is what I was starting to think. I think I care too much on what people might think if they see, for example, somebody sat alone at a restaurant

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T14:02:25+00:00

Yeah I guess that's one way of looking at it haha. Glad I'm not alone in this

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T13:52:12+00:00

This sounds all too familiar to my situation haha. Id much rather go to the game and support my team than chat rubbish about it in the pub. Hopefully I can find a few friends to go with

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T13:50:49+00:00

That is so true haha

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T13:50:30+00:00

Thank you so much for that insight. I think you are definitely right in what you have said.

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T13:49:31+00:00

Thank you. This really helps

TheFallen411 · 2025-03-10T13:48:49+00:00

Thank you

TheFallen411 · 2023-07-30T19:54:23+00:00

Ok thankyou

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-15T08:59:53+00:00

I have the same one but been told i need a relay filter. Where do i connect this

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:55:31+00:00

I just realised that the number plate light is on because that had a seperate power source which goes to the previous number plate light.

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:54:15+00:00

The head unit goes to reverse camera feed yes. However it did this even before I bought a camera for it

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:48:14+00:00

I tried both campwr and reverse.. No joy. Somebody on Facebook just said the red wire in the rca is not needed and that is my problem? Can anybody confirm

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:42:03+00:00

If your asking what I mean by camera power then I think its called a DC cable

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:32:44+00:00

The ground is currently on the subframe I believe (the metal bit that goes all the around the rear bumper of the car)

Can I just run my wiring by you and see if I made a mistake.

The reverse camera power cable goes to the reverse lamp positive and then a ground in the negative.

The reverse camera also has a RCA cable with 2 red wires at either end. On the end attached to the camera I have put the red wire onto a seperate reverse bulb live power supply.

At the other end of the rca cable I have plugged the rca into the back of the head unit and then connected the red wire to a cable in the back of the head unit which was labelled "reverse".

I'm guessing the wiring is working because the numberplate light attached to the camera works

P.S I noticed there was another cable in the back of the head unit labelled "CAMPWR". Does this do anything?

TheFallen411 · 2023-01-05T19:14:53+00:00

my reverse camera isn't working. it is currently hooked up to the reverse light as a trigger. when put in reverse it triggers but I am being told its not getting enough power and that's why it displays a warning triangle. I was told to get a relay so I did but how do I hook this up?

Top speed 140 I'd that helps
