I purchased the sams club unit also. I have done some prelim installation and would like some input on how others are going to install. The cable that comes with the camera unit is about 15 feet long. The power cable is about 10 feet long. The wireless sending unit needs to be installed inside a compartment or "Ttrunk of Car" I assume out of the weather. My first inclination would be to run the camera cable inside to the entertainment center using the wire chase that is already on the street side slide and install the sending unit in the entertainment system. Grabbing the 12 volt power off of the Winegard antennae connection. This would put the sending unit approximatly 35 feet from the receiver. (Not sure how far the sending unit can be from the receiver and keeping in mind the frame of the Suite.)

I'll try to hook it up temporarily and see if it works and will keep all informed.

If anyone has something to add, please respond. For the price and if it works, its a good solution.
