Rear camera replacement
As we are driving tonight, we noticed that the toad does not show up in the camera in the dark… thought it was gone until we reached the turnpike with all of the lights. Would there be a better camera to install that would have an IR feature? Ideas besides don’t drive at night or Xmas lights on the toad? Self-cleaning feature would be nice, but I think that is only available on Liberties with the rose petals…

At one time Marathon offered a push button air blast to clear the lens on moister and dirt. Another source of a AUX air leak. It is no longer offered.
Driving at night and depending on the rear camera is a challenge. Base on the angle it picks up lots of reflection making it a challenge.
BTW….Night is my favorite time to drive the bus.

No, do not need any more AUX leaks than we already have, thank you 😉 I think a mini wiper and a winshield wash nozzle would do more than a blast of air…
Nighttime is great as it is less traffic, but it is a little nerve wracking not seeing the toad. I guess we could install some battery-operated glow lights in the windshield 😉
Thank you for your response!

There are undoubtedly instances when the toad is not visble in the dark, but I have found lights at interstate exits show me it is still there. On my two primary toads the windshield angle is such the three roof clearance lights reflect back in the windshield. But if I reall need to see the toad at night all I have to do is press the cruise control release switch and that activates the stop lights which give enough light to see the toad.
I also have docking lights so if I have any question about the tow bar, chains or light cable I can tilt the camera down and light the docking lights.
