I currently have a 5.8" LCD screen mounted over my rear view mirror that's
connected to a Clarion TV tuner located behind the drivers seat. The tuner
has a CCTV camera input but I haven't found cable assembly that I need to
make it work, but I will install one eventually. I spent Saturday running
antenna, video, audio and CD changer cables between the tuner and the rear
cabinet of my camper. The 6 disk CD changer is currently mounted on the top
shelf, but there is room for a VCR and my DSS receiver which will be added
soon.

I also dropped the A/C housing and cleaned it out, lubricating both
evaporator blower motors and added some foam to the vent housing.

There are some photos of the In Van Entertainment Systems and A/C Spring
Cleaning albums in my Yahoo!Photos site if you're interested in taking a
look. Hopefully, I'll update my website soon with this info.

FWIW, I never use the rear view mirror anyway, I always keep the rear
curtains closed, it keeps the temperature down in the rear of the van.

I am just surprised that with all the techies on this list that noone has
installed a closed circuit camera set-up like the big RV's use.
