Faulty Reversing Camera

I would think as Maquis have looked at it when it was faulty,then they should contact Auto Sleeper to advise to change it for you(they are some how the same company)

It may help if you can take a picture or video when it is playing up.I did this recently when I had a problem with the control panel. I was able to show and prove what the fault was.

Excellent idea. Thanks.

We had similar problems with our previous AS Broadway FB and just like you it would not happen when we took it back to the dealer under warranty, however the dealer accepted that the fault existed and arranged for an auto elecrician who re-wired the live power wiring to the interior cab llght.  This solved the problem completely - hope this helps.

That's a surprising fault but I will follow up. Many thanks.

The guy who came to our house to fix it had lots of experience fitting these cameras and said he'd met this problem various times before, it seemed to be connected with an intermittant power feed to the camera, thus the rewiring.  Sorry if this is vague, OH is at golf so I can't be more specific (he wrote the previous post.)

Thanks. I am due to take it back to the factory in three weeks time so if you have any more precise information on the fault it would be appreciated. Now have a photo to prove it.

We collected our new A/S Broadway FB and went for a 'shakedown' trip to Bristol. Everything worked normally but when we left the CC site we travelled no more than half a mile before the rear-view screen blanked out. I say rear view because it was allowed then and I left it switched on full time. I pulled in to the first lay-by and switched off the ignition, when I restarted normal service resumed but during the journey the same fault occurred a number of times. Each time switching off and restarting cured the fault. On occasions though grid lines or patterns appeared on screen  - I seem to remember that they were red. As you have found when I wanted to show others the fault it would not happen. Andy Diggle at Dorset Motorhomes (now Dolphin) was/is a genuinely helpful chap and suggested that they arrange fo an auto-electrician who fits rear view cameras for them to visit my home and try to sort it out. When he arrived he said that he had encountered the problem before and re-routed the power feed to the permanently live feed to the cab interior light just a few inches above the rear-view screen. This was done without any damage and was undetectable but it fixed the problem permanently. I am not an expert but it seems that the screen was sensitive to power fluctuations in normal driving situations and using a 'local' power feed was immune. It may all be totally irrelevant to your problem but I hope it helps.  (meecee's OH)

Many thanks. Helpful background; I'll see how I get on.

Hitchglitch, did you have any luck with your reversing camera?
