Turn Signal Cameras
im not a fan of my blind spot cameras, fact is I don't like them even a little bit. This is my third coach with them and every year I like them less. I would much rater use my mirrors and have the camera stay in rear view when i am passing another vehicle.
Now that I have that off my chest, does anyone know of a not too complicated fix to deactivate them so that the camera stays in rear view mode when the sun signal is on?

You need to find the camera "display module" somewhere behind the display and disconnect the input wire's from the left & right turn signals.

I don't care for the side view cameras but my wife says she likes them. Yeah, you know what that means.

When the side cam is on I don't see my towed. Sometimes I look down and freak out.

We have only had our gas coach for 18 months, but I just ignore the display when it automatically goes to the side views. I'm not sure it would be worth trying to change the set up.

In the future don't use your turn signals. That solves that issue but might bring up others!!!

Im wondering if I find the module and disconnect the left and right input cameras, will the camera remain on rear view when the signals are used or will I end up with a blank screen. Guess I won't know until I try it. Thanks for the advice.

Turn Signal Cameras
This is a repost of an earlier post I made regarding this topic:
I really don't like side cameras. I find them disorienting and just when I need the rear camera in a tight corner so I can watch the toad, I lose it. So to answer your question, there is a way to disconnect them but still have them available. First, remove the center dash with the monitor. Find (on mine) the small yellow and brown trigger wires. Yours may be different so read the schematic in the user guide for the monitor. Buy a small "double pole, single throw" switch (whatever you like and what will fit in the available room in the dash panel) and splice it into those two wires. Once finished, when off, you just get the rear cam and when on, the side cams are back to working when you throw the turn signal lever.

You can adjust the time it takes to return to rearview when you turn the indicator off. I always turn my indicator off as soon as I start to overtake so I can see when I am clear using the rear camera.

Turn Signal Cameras
Similar approach, but I used a 3 pole 4 position rotary switch with the triggers.
I also aimed the factory camera higher and installed a wireless backup camera for my GPS
