I just ordered the same setup as you have from 4ucam.
How did you attach the cord from the camera to the antenna? I was thinking maybe using silacone sealant. Would that harm the aluminum skin.

Update
I have been meaning to post an update to my installation, and I also have some new information.
I mounted the 4UCam system (as pictured) in place of one of my rear running lights. This gave me a centered position, as I am using this as a "wireless rear view mirror." It also provided electrical supply; the only catch is that I have to have my headlights on to actuate the system, but that is a great safety reminder for traveling anyway.
I had the opportunity to work with the 4UCam customer support people several weeks ago. Over the winter, I found that the interior of my camera housing had built up some condensation, drastically effecting the visuals. After contacting the distributor, I got a typical response via email. I was not happy with their "fix," and let them know. I immediately was contacted by phone by a gentleman that was interested in solving the problem. After a short conversation, he agreed to ship a replacement unit, so that I could install the replacement camera at the same time I reinstalled the new camera. The replacement came in two days, allowing me to make the switch right before a camping trip. Long story short, the new camera works great, and sports an additional sealing that would explain the purge of moisture with the old unit. I was extremely pleased that 4UCam would go outside of their normal warranty policy, contact me personally, and act so quickly. I would give this wireless system five stars, if asked.

Don, I am about to install the third camera of this model 9901T, as the first two displayed condensation within the housing. Until that design problem is resolved, I can't recommend this particular unit. That said, 4UCam has been great to work with, but I would have preferred to only install the product once.

Spot,
Thanks for the information -- your installation looks great!
How is the camera installed in place of the rear running light? (How is is mounted / how is it sealed?)
Again...nice job.

Spot,
One other question...Do you think the LED lights would blind or be distractive to cars behind the trailer?

I merely removed the running light, and used the electrical supply to it. I used sheet metal screws, then sealed with an appropriate roof sealant. Airtstream did not make the removal easy, nor is there much wire to work with; it took some dedication. LED lights; I hadn't given that any thought. I have not towed my trailer at night, but that is a good point, using this setup at night might get me busted. Hmmmmm.

We would like to use the in dash nav screen of our 08 Yukon. Has anyone done this?

Thanks for the reply -- I like the setup and think I will install the back-up camera (not sure if this fall or next spring).
We do tow at night or early in the AM --- I guess I would actually see the lights on the cop car with the back-up camera.

Has anyone ever installed a camera inside the trailer to view through the back window to the outside ? I know you wouldn't be able to use it with the auto lights reflecting into it at night but, during the daytime would it work ?
