I actually was planning on mounting it in the NEXT paint band down to where it covers up the little horizontal trim strip:-( Even though I painted a little sample of the touch-up paint I thought was the correct choice (out of four choices), I STILL got it wrong. Now for my secret: I really wasn't planning on mounting the cam where it is. The camera housing has what we call a "three foot" paint job - looks great about three feet away. You couldn't do better than ordering it from Tim at RV Cams! The cam price was right-on as we old flower-children say - about $225. I must confess that I believe this side view camera won't ultimately stay in the category of 'toy.' It should add an extra element of safety and convenience, and remove some of the driving and maneuvering stress with our coach. It was lots of fun (well, most of the time) when I had a job of messing around with hundreds of thousands of dollars of hardware now alas I must be content with far less. I like toys! Since I am a retired professional 'geek', what better way to fulfill those technological fantasies post-corporate life than 'improving' our coach. As we now have 55,000+ miles of driving experience, we rarely use the side cam, so it is not a priority to replace it. Also I think Winnebago is using the fatter housing I originally installed. Beginning several months ago, it looks like the same problem has returned. The housing style changed to one more streamlined, so Tim upgraded me to the latest. Fortunately it was still in warranty and Tim at RV Cams replaced it. The Sony cam shown in the below pictures developed an out-of-focus area in the center of the picture after about a year of operation. I do miss it once in a while though, so when I can't stand it any longer, I'll call Tim at rvcams and order another replacement. Number three side cam is kaput/broken/toast (been screwed up for many months) and it is not a high priority to replace it. At this point it's highly unlikely that we will replace the cam. Sony is out of the RV market so no direct replacement is possible.
