Newmar 2903 side camera

I am considering adding a right side camera because there are times the passenger window is difficult to see through because of light glare which effectively​ hides the mirror.

Has anyone done this? We're ya happy with the results?

I only see "cad#3" wire feed wire coming out of the back of the Voyager monitor...cad#2 is probably buried in the dash somewhere... Which one is for the right side? All the trigger wires seem to be plugged in...

Sure appreciate any thoughts on this...

I have side cameras and never look at the monitor. However, I always use a Fresnel lens, no vehicle or bicycle can hide in the blind right hand corner. I started using the portable lens 40 years ago. When positioned correctly it eliminates the blindspot and you get change back from a $10 bill.

"Yarddroid"......Mine came with side cameras and I really don't use them. As a matter of fact, I rarely use the turn signals once I start to change lanes because the picture is deceptive.

My coach has a standard mirror and a wide angle under. I keep the wide angle mirror focused so that I can see anything alongside the coach.

Not to deter you, but many fine them useless. I thought they would be nice when backing into a campsite and I can't see something low alongside the coach. The problem is, when the coach is in reverse, the backup camera overrides the side cameras.
