Camera Mounting & Power

Part 1: Per-Wire Camera Power Connections and Mounting

Use this section if your trailer is pre-wired for a wireless camera (e.g., Furion). Use the adapter mounting plate and power adapter.

Locate the pre-wire housing mounted to the rear of the trailer.
Remove the 4 small Phillips screws holding the square cover plate. Discard the cover plate, but keep the screws for a later step.
Inside the housing, locate the 3.5mm connector. Plug in the supplied power adapter and tape the connection.
Attach the adapter mounting bracket to the back of the camera using the 4 small black Phillips screws supplied in the kit.
Plug the camera's power connection into the power adapter connected in step 3. Tape the connector.
Push any extra wire slack into the housing hole where the power wire originates.
Attach the antenna to the camera.
Align the mounting plate to the 4 holes in the housing. Attach the mounting plate using the 4 screws removed in step 2. Do not overtighten.
Test the camera by turning on the vehicle's parking lights to supply power.
If the camera is not visible on any channel, follow instructions for connecting additional cameras.

Use this section if your trailer is not pre-wired. Use the universal mount and power harness.

Remove the rear center top marker light to expose the wiring.
Splice the power harness into the power and ground wires connected to the light.
Locate where the light power wires enter the trailer wall. Drill a 1/2 inch hole to run the camera harness connector through. If the stud is next to the power wire hole, drill under the center marker light. If the stud is under the power wire hole, drill next to the center light between the center and right side marker light.
Run the connector or camera power harness through the drilled hole.
Reinstall the marker light, ensuring the base plate is sealed to prevent water entry.
Connect the universal mounting plate to the back of the camera using the 4 small black Phillips screws.
Connect the power harness to the camera. Tape the connector to ensure it remains plugged in.
Push any extra wire slack into the drilled hole until the camera bracket touches the trailer. Mark the 4 holes for mounting.
Drill the 4 marked holes.
Push the wires back into the hole and seal with silicone. Mount the camera with 4 Phillips screws.
Attach the antenna to the camera.
