Hello,

 

Does anyone know if the Invisible Trailer feature works with a fifth wheel?  Also, is there a length limitation on Invisible Trailer?

 

Thanks.

OK, so I have a 2020 Chevy 3500HD.  I do not like having to string a cable from the rear of my 34' trailer to use the camera option.  From my understanding, the cable has a DC bias for the camera with

in my experience it should work ...the connection is on the truck, not the 'trailer' so no reason it shouldn't work.

 

The length of the cable is 55+ feet.  I found a hole in the gooseneck and ran the cord up into trailer, then tacked it up all the way to the rear and back out to mount camera on back of trailer.  Before i did that, i just ran it on the outside of the trailer with some zip ties to make sure it worked...

So i have a bit of a different situation. I tow a large boat. Tri-Axle trailer, approximately 45' in length. I want to place the camera on the rear of my boat, make some kind of mount but want to make the camera removable for when I back it into the water as to not get the camera wet, also to be able to remove the camera so no ones steals it as it won't be as permanently mounted as on a large fifth wheel horse or rv type trailer. I was thinking of trying to find a way to put in a connector in which I could unplug to remove the camera. Any thoughts?

Full disclosure:  I don’t know the answer to your question.  What I do know, however, is that the “invisible trailer’” view is a composite image of multiple cameras with each providing its respective input.  With clever logic, fast processing, and a bit of witchcraft, your screen displays this magical view.  When setting up the invisible trailer option, you have to enter quite some data (dimensions, spacing, etc.) for your specific Trailer/TV combo.  As long as the input ranges are conducive to your combo, I could imagine this might work for you.

 

Has anybody been successful implementing this technology on their fiver?  I’d like to see how it works for you.

The cable is apparently rg58 a thinner type of coax. Can’t just splice it but could get connectors Like you would with “normal” coax. The camera housing comes apart and you could disconnect it at the camera but that would probably be more trouble than it’s worth-small screws to deal

with.

Definitely aware splicing would not work. More than likely will try to get my hands on some of the cable and connectors and do a test run before cutting into the camera cable!

Thank you - that's what I figured - just wanted to confirm.

 

I can still connect a camera to the back of the trailer to view behind the fifth wheel, correct?

ok, ready to try to modify my cable/harness with a basic push on rg58.  I had ripped off the original connector and for me, it's too difficult to make a new one, so i am not concerned about the waterproof connector.  Just trying to make sure i order the right parts/tools to make a simple push on connection.  

 

Can anyone guide me with exact part numbers? ie, are these 'c', 'smc' connectors?  do i need the female end for the cable end? again, i'm just trying to put a connector onto the cable end, not the truck end...

 

Thank you for any help!

TIMAYZ is absolutely correct!! It is an IEC PAL DVB European connector. You can buy adapters off Amazon to adapt the plug on the bumper connection to either F style or BNC, search amazon. I confirmed this today and it fits perfect with this adapter :

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
