    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West F250 backup camer mod

    So I really missed my backup camera after having my Hawk installed. So I bought an oem camera and harness, then manufactured a mount to go just above the license plate.

The guy that did my walk through was super cool and answered all my questions, the goodie drawer with all the manuals also included a rear solar plug with pig tails, and he also told me my unit I can walk in even if it's suspended and not on...

    Thanks DavidO, great tip to keep that fist step easier! With a short wife and 2 8yr olds they will appreciate it. Thank you for the confirmation that it works well, I believe that's the route I was going to go. Seems like it would work well when on un even ground up in the foothills.

    Sees like the primary use for the steps is to hang stuff. That's really the only reason I put them on my order. This ole fat guy ain't no rock climber, and I heard you pretty much have to be to use them. loving this community.

    Thank you all! Not just "I like this" or "this is ok, but not worth the $$". Mostly everyone gave good reason for their likes and dislikes. 8 short days till order date. I have a note to ask about undocumented options. Now to decide to BatWing or Side awning. Leaning side awning due...

    My conclusions so far, Rear wall steps are no longer on my list. I thought about the batwing but prefer an awning that's has a hard cover, so probably stay with side awning, Flush mount sink/stove for extra counter room, Gonna stay with 2 fans as I like to sleep to a fan and it's hot here in...
