Hey Vernon, yes that's actually totally normal operation for the Furrion Vision S+ observation systems like the part # FR39DF. These are wired up so that when you turning on the running lights or headlights the camera gets power and then displays on the monitor. That might seem a little odd but it's the most convenient way to power the camera without having to run a bunch of extra wire and switches. How is it working for your setup?
