Question:
Forest River/2019 F250 with 360 camera Is there a backup camera that would work on our prewired 2018 Forest River RV that would connect to our 360 Camera in our 2019 truck or will I have to buy a backup camera with its own screen. Have asked several different sources and can’t find the answer. Trying to buy it for a surprise Fathers Day gift so trying not to ask my husband too many questions.

There is really only one wiring harness compatible with your 2019 Ford F-250 truck monitor and it is for the truck bed cargo camera that installs behind the 3rd brake light. If you use this harness, then you can install a wireless harness for connection to your trailer because there isn't a wireless receiver option.
If you have the 8 inch factory monitor use the Truck Bed Cargo Camera for 8" Factory Monitor - Switch Kit # 3460001. If you have the 4.2 inch monitor use # 3460002.
Then you can use the Rear View Safety Trailer Tow Quick Connect Kit For Backup Camera Systems # RVS-213-613 which will require the Adapter Cord - 5 Pin Male to RCA Male # RVS-RCA5-AM. Then you can simply connect to your Forest River prewired power for your camera.
It is fairly in-depth of running cables but the connections are fairly straight-forward. If you prefer a wireless system you will either have a monitor like the # FOS05TASF (which I recommend over the # FOS43TASF because it can be expanded for multiple cameras).

Keystone Laredo TT/2010 F250 with backup camera Is there a backup camera that would work on our prewired 2021 Keystone Laredo TT that would connect to our existing Ford backup camera system in our 2010 Superduty or will I have to buy a backup camera with its own screen? Can’t find a definitive answer.
