Rear view camera ?

While cleaning the coach I noticed the two camera's on the back of my 2017 Anthem. One camera appears to be pointed almost straight down, and the other is pointed at the towed...How do you go about selecting the downward looking camera ?

There is a white control unit to the right of the screens. It has on/off switches and arrows to move the view. On the right there is a switch for tow view and rear views.

On our Aspire, there is a 3 position switch to the right of the center display stack.

The three positions are Hitch (down) Auto (center) and Horizon (up). I haven't yet discovered what Auto does, but I simply flip from one to the other as needed.

What I discovered was that from the factory, both cameras were offering slightly different views of the toad. In other words, Horizon was angled too far down.

The cameras use 2 Allen head set screws to control the amount of adjustment. It has a third Allen head set screw which locks the camera in place, and isn't a designated adjustment screw.

The problem is that the 2 adjustment set screws have a corresponding slot on the mounting bracket which does not permit sufficient adjustment to view the traffic behind the coach.

There are 2 potential solutions: You could place washers under the mounting bracket to shim it in the right direction. The only problem with this is you will now have a fairly obvious gap between the base and the fiberglass it is mounted to. The other solution I performed, was to simply remove the 2 adjustment set screws, adjust the camera as desired, and use the single center screw to lock it down. No problems in about 700 miles of very bad weather.

Thanks for the info...The down side of my switch had a wire that was not hooked up...It functions now, however my camera angles need to be adjusted as well.
