Where is the fuse for the backup camera?

Does anyone have an idea where the fuse is for the backup camera? We have a late year 2016 2nd gen 21'.



We found the wires in the upper cabinet, but most likely they're for the rear lights.


Also wondering where the power cables were run - anyone know?


We're replacing the camera that was factory installed by ETI when the trailer was purchased. Old camera crapped out.


I've sent an email to ETI in the hopes they might know.



Any suggestions/hints/tips would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

In my 2017 21 the back up camera is wired to the tail/running lights. Hopefully you can use the wiring from the factory installed camera.

Well, guess he didn't need that info. Dirk got it wired to the original wiring (with help from a pair of roach clips on stands, as I call them) and it works just fine. YAY! The monitor is smaller (less dashboard space - yay) but has a much clearer image on it. He's now tearing apart the old camera to see what it looks like inside. He suspects moisture got inside and mucked it all up as the lens is completely cloudy and it's not from lack of cleaning (on the inside area). I'm thrilled to have a working rear view/back up camera again. (Yes, I know the pros and cons of having/not having one.)
