ThxYou could try a local-to-your-location stereo/car electronics type store. They may be able to put a new end on.
Good luck!

I like the way you routed your cable. Any tips fishing wire from Battery Bay to the pin box? TFTIJust finished up my camera install. I brought the cable down and along the frame. View attachment 519View attachment 520View attachment 521View attachment 522View attachment 523
I also like the idea of running the cable through the pin box but don’t know how to do it. Could you post some info on how you did that hopefully with pictures.I like the way you routed your cable. Any tips fishing wire from Battery Bay to the pin box? TFTI
That looks like a very neat job. I plan to install my camera like you did running it along the frame. How did you route the wire with connector through from the front compartment to the pin box? That so far is the biggest hurdle for me to do the install. I have a 340RL.Just finished up my camera install. I brought the cable down and along the frame.

Hi Jeff and Deb - I have fished a bunch of wires from the pinbox to the gen bay. I use 2 sections of wire fishing rod (Harbor Freight) and push it through from the pinbox end. The reach up and grab it just inside the gen bay above the door. Then I tape a poly rope onto the gen bay end of the fish rod and pull it out to the pin box area. Easy peasy on my 340RL. Guessing your 310 will be just as easy.I like the way you routed your cable. Any tips fishing wire from Battery Bay to the pin box? TFTI
Hey @Fivelangs - I'm installing the camera on our new 5th wheel, and this time following your example to run it along the frame. Can you tell me what you used to secure the wire mounts to the frame?Just finished up my camera install. I brought the cable down and along the frame.
I wasn't sure I wanted it to come through the pin box, since I plug it into the bumper and didn't want it flapping against the tailgate. As of now, I have it running along the frame and just coming up from below the front compartment. Also, I'm not sure our wire chase runs to the battery compartment. If it's the black pipe in the photo below, it seems to sit above the furnace area.Did you consider bringing the wire down the intergrated solar wiring pipe? That should lead you right to the front battery compartment and then a simple wire run out the ling pin, to the truck
I plugged mine into the bumper. First trip out the end twisted off the cable. Leaving the connector still plugged into the bumper and the cable flapping. I would recommend swapping your plug on the bumper with the one in the bed. That way you could come out through the pin box and plug into your bed. I am moving mine. Others in this chain somewhere have moved the plug to the bed. I am hoping for better results with the cable end this go around. Good luck.I wasn't sure I wanted it to come through the pin box, since I plug it into the bumper and didn't want it flapping against the tailgate.

Did you consider dropping the underbelly and tucking the wires under there in order to keep them secure and safe?I cleaned the frame with brake cleaner and alcohol and attached the pads supplied with the camera kit.
Haven’t lost any so far.

We'll keep an eye on that. It worked for us for several months with our previous 5th wheel. Hopefully our luck will continue. I don't have the confidence to start relocating wiring in the truck.I plugged mine into the bumper. First trip out the end twisted off the cable.
