Newbie couple does a DIY installation of a LeeKooLuu backup camera on their 2008 Chevy Silverado
Просмотров 23 тыс.5 лет назад
We are preparing for our adventure to travel full-time while saving for retirement. We got the truck (an old Chevy Silverado) and our Casita Camper. We quickly realized how important a backup camera would be because we are completely new to hitching up a truck and trailer. So, we bought an inexpensive camera on Amazon and put our minds together to figure out how to do the installation ourselves...

Our day was dedicated to gathering things we wanted and needed to make our little home away from home (and future source of income) comfortable, easy to use, and adorable. We wore ourselves out at the thrift stores and ended the day with a delicious one-of-a-kind chili Instant Pot meal. Above all, however, we just had a ton of fun and lots of laughs.

    Yeah in my experience with car audio /12v car stuff is if your car has an automatic transmission, look for where the clutch cable assembly would be located. Usually already has a grommet in the firewall for you. Another option is if you're antenna cord runs through the firewall. And if you have a 7 wire trailer harness your yellow wire is a reverse signal. So that will give you a cheap and easy way to get a trigger signal

    Hi, I just found out that the deceptive ad practices by the Casita Enterprises, Inc. of Rice, Texas are against the law in Texas. So for anyone who went to Casita with an ad from RVTraders or someplace else; and Casita didn’t honor their ad discounts of extras like awnings, large water tanks or high rise packages. You may file a complaint with Texas Attorney General Office and collect your refund. Here is what to ask for Texas guides consumer protection from deceptive ads. Make sure you have a copy of that ad. I have copies of the March to May 2020 and the August to the September 2020 ad. You can reach me at Ronny Noll - FB.

    Hi, I just saved enough to put a down payment on the purchase a 17' Spirit Casita and found an add from Casita on RVTrader.com. It was selling for $22,694 and came with an awning, 25 gal water tank, and high rise package. I called Carla Pouch and told her about the ad and that I wanted to buy it. She stated that it doesn't come with an awning; So I sent he a link of the advertisement. She stated that she didn't think the manager would honor that ad. The next day I checked the add and it had change to no awning. I talked to CarIa, who stated that the manager was not honoring that sales ad. I made copies of both ads and stated that I would talk to BBB and other people who had told me about the great Casita company. What is, you opinion, and if you would please call Carla Pouch - 903-200-4641 and give your opinion on whether Casita should honor their advertised price. Thank You, Ron.

      They are a small family-owned business and reluctant to change. They only can handle a certain number or orders each year and they have a waiting list, so I guess they feel like they don't need to. Evenso, coming up with solutions is kinda fun. Since I made this video, we've changed a lot. Hopefully I'll learn my new video editing software and I'll make another tour video soon.

    Videos like this that leave in "everyday people" problems (upside down camera, finding the grommet, etc) are the best. No fancy editing and cutting out the real work that is involved. Most of these DIY videos make it look like it's a 10 minute job. Thanks for keeping it real.

    The instructions were HORRIBLE! My camera came with similar wires but not exactly the same but your installation helped me figure out my issue. I only had one receiver for power so what I needed to do was leave the red and black wires in the green housing AND feed then feed BOTH the red and red & black wires to that same green housing. So I have the cigarette lighter sending power to the monitor and the camera! I will also mention that customer "support" was worse than the instructions in the manual. Thanks again!

      We started out with large trailers, went even bigger to a 5th wheel, with a washer/dryer and three slides. It’s great, but just bought a 2017 Casita Freedom Deluxe 17’ to take places the 5th wheel won’t go. We just traveled over 3000 miles in the Casita. It’s so easy to tow, hookup and gas mileage is terrific. We love it! Seriously thinking about selling the Excel, or as I call it, the condo on wheels. There are advantages to both RV’s but less is more sometimes.
