   Happy 4th of July. I searched the Forum but could not find an answer to my question. We recently purchased an r-pod 189. We were told and charged for, upon purchase that it was "camera ready". When we went to pick-up the trailer, we didn't see any facility to install the camera upon. The technician who was showing us all the features, told us that the 189 has no such provision. Almost $500 was refunded to us that we were charged and the technician was unaware of any camera solutions that did not require drilling holes and adding wiring, etc. to permit a camera to be mounted near the roof of the unit like other model r-pods have. We don't want to have a lot of drilling and wiring. Is there a set-up that is wireless that we can obtain to give us some rear vision? Thank you, Dave and Linda

	I bought one of these: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wireless-DVR-Waterproof-Built-Backup-IP69K-Reversing-Digital-System-Monitor-5-Camera-720P-Rear-LCD-View-Haloview-Trucks-Trailer-Bus-RVs-Pickups-Campe/309735346 I mounted the camera on the spare tire stanchion with thin 2" angle and powered it from the license plate light. No new holes, but my parking lights must be on to use it. The screen mounts to the windshield.
