Does anyone know if we can buy a tailgate harness and camera that we can reconnect and use on a slide in camper when the tailgate is off. We have a 2022 2500 Denali diesel. We went to dealer and they thought we were crazy

GMC sells a 2 camera set that plugs in near your 7 way trailer plug. They can be used inside your trailer if your trailering horses or anything else and they also show the other camera on the rear of the trailer to see traffic in back of you. I have a 2020 2500 HD and trailer horses and looked at them a year ago. I’m surprised the dealer didn’t mention them so don’t know if they still offer them. Go to GM parts. Lookup part# 19421453, good luck.

These are what gm wants you to use so your screen will work with the other cameras when the tailgate is removed. Just mount to the back of your slide-in and don't paint.

The camera gemarsh listed can be bought from an on line gm parts seller for about $100. That’s the camera I used. You can buy a cable from Pasternack.com for about $30. No need to spend the money on an entire tailgate harness that may not be long enough anyway. I can give more details about ordering the cable if you are interested. Here is my camera installation on the back of my camper. With it tilted 45 degrees down in that pvc ell, the view is identical to the tailgate camera view.

I also used the Camerasource kit on  my 2020 3500HD and slide in camper. 

There are several suppliers on Amazon for the Coax cable. I purchased a short section to extend the connection point to behind the license plate as not to wear out the factory connector next to the spare tire. Male to Female and the camera kit can plug into that extension when installing the camper or tailgate. 

Good luck.

I can’t tell for sure because your camera focused on your hand and the connector is out of focus, but that second picture appears to be a FAKRA camera connector. The camera connection is not in that big oval multipin connector. It’s a dedicated coax connector. My truck is a 2021 3500 slt with surround view cameras so it should be the same.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
