I just purchased Rear View Night Vision Backup 2 Camera System for RV, Truck, Trailer, Bus, Fifth-Wheel, Model RVS-770164.
I have a 1997 Fleetwood Flair class A. I am going to put one of the cameras in the rear for backing safety.
Any ideas of where the second camera should be installed?
Thanks

One is good for the back of the truck, one is good for the back of the trailer. If you have a class A why did you get two?

I just finished installing second camera on passenger side. Mounted it to bottom of side view mirror running wire inside mirror.

I have two camera's on the rear of the motorhome. One is adjusted for ideal view of the toad, and the second is adjusted up for the best view of the road/traffic behind the coach. I have a third on the passenger side of the coach, but find that I rarely use it.

I've thought it would be cool to put a camera under the front bumper looking back under the coach to see the undercarriage and tires......

I bought the 2 pack because it was only $40 more to have an extra camera (ready to go if mounted one failed out on a trip), and having the extra 60ft cable seemed like a good idea. If I needed to buy a camera alone, it was $100, and 60ft cable was %60. Big savings.
