No problem. Most places want to sell you some high definition low feedback mega resolution, when all you really need is a simple video cable!

Glad I could be of assistance!

I replaced the camera only. Still using original monitor.

I HAVE A SPARE MONITOR NOW PUT IN A NEW ONE IN.

I had the same problem. Check all your connections. I had a bad connection, fixed it and it now works great.

It's been a bit of time since this post was opened, but while doing a search I found Nick's problem was the same as mine. I checked all the connections in the camera and they all looked good. Then we removed the monitor to check it out. Couldn't get the picture on the monitor to stop flipping. Then we changed the cable input from channel A to channel B on the back ports of the monitor. We then powered up the monitor and switched the front selector push button to channel B and everything was good. Clear picture and NO flipping. Does this mean channel A is bad?
I ask that becuase we put everything back together and I was a happy guy having my back up camera to now use. But, as soon as I shift to reverse the monitor comes on automatically and is on channel A. And why the coach is in reverse it will not let me change input channels to the monitor. So now I have a working camera and monitor, but cannot use it when I put the coach in reverse. HELP!!!

Just bumping this to the top in hopes that someone out there can give me some guidance while the coach is at the shop doing some electronic installations. He has the back up camera and monitor working fine on channel B while the coach is sitting there. Once you start up the coach and put it in reverse we get nothing but a blank screen. We are assuming this is the channel A input. And we cannot figure how to get this "automatic" feature, when placing the coach in reverse, to use channel B.
Thanks for any help or direction to where I can get some help....

I would guess that there's a relay, energized by the backup light circuit, that switches camera output to the A Channel. Where it is...is a mystery.

I had a problem sometomes my backup camera and backup lights worked and thqn wouldn't
foune the problem was linkage was off and tranmission was not hitting the switch.

Thanks for the responses everyone. But my problem isn't with the back up camera or monitor working, because they do. I can't get channel A input on the monitor to work without a rolling picture. Channel B input works perfectly. My problem is that when the monitor comes on automatically when putting the coach in reverse, it also automatically turns the monitor on with the channel A input, which the camera is now not hooked up to. I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell me how to get it to the channel B input when it comes on automatically. If I am not in reverse, the button on the front of the monitor will allow me to manually switch back and forth between the two channel inputs. But it will not allow me to switch to channel B when the coach is in reverse.

FIXED AND WORKING PROPERLY!!! Pulled everything apart again and cleaned the input power terminals for channel A and it's working fine. On to the next repair.....
