Any brand unit should be about the same. I recently replaced an old 87 model backup camera complete with a cathode ray black and white monitor. The new screen has great resolution and takes up a fraction of the space. Same story with the tiny new camera. Gotta love technology...
It was a pretty easy swap. I ended up mounting the new monitor on my dash.

I replace my old obsolete Sony BU monitor and camera with a Voyager wireless system. To power the camera I re-purposed the Sony coax, I used the center wire for 12V+ and the outer braid for 12-, then made the proper connections under the dash where power and ground was easy to utilize.

The unit works well on our 40' MH.

I just replaced my Voyager camara with a newer one (voyager) about a month ago. Same screen size, but weighed about 1/4 as much. Looks and works great!

Interested in this also. For those that replaced a wired camera, were you able to use the existing wire from the camera to the monitor.

I intended to use a wired BU camera, however the obsolete Sony coax has proprietary features that prevented using a different brand. Thus the wireless Voyager.
