    Ah I see what you are saying. Maybe that extra wire is for the "door" camera? IE We only installed 3 cameras...not the 4 that it is capable of?

    Still doesn't explain why the 12V (cigarettes lighter) cable for the monitor has the 2nd end on it.

      Perhaps I need to test with the truck not hooked to the camper first....but I don't think the cameras/lights have power unless the truck is connected, and my lights are "ON", not "AUTO", must be "ON".

      But, would be neat to rig up a 12V connector or adapter and be able to see all 3 cameras at night from inside the camper. Has anyone done this? Wiring changes to rig needed?

      Since I didn't install this...I was taking a much closer look at the content of the box. What is the round connector attached to the 12V connector? Looks like a similar one with bare wire ends (extra) in the box as well. Does anyone know what these are for? One pic is the screen plug in...the other is extra.

      I know this is an older post, but in case anyone has the same questions, here are what I believe to be the answers:

      This is used so that you can take your camera(s) into the cab of the truck and power it, along with the monitor, so that you can pair your camera(s) to the monitor.

      Looks like a similar one with bare wire ends (extra) in the box as well.
      This is used to power the Rear camera if you are installing on an RV that has not been factory prewired for the Furrion backup camera. If the trailer is prewired, this just ends up as an extra in the box as it is not needed.

        I had seen this but had forgotten it....curious to see if anyone uses their cameras from inside the parked rig.

          bellis I'm thinking about doing it so I can keep check on one of my cats who feeds behind the RV.
