On our coach I replaced the camera and old Sony B&W screen with 3 cameras (2 side vision and one rear). I used the existing wiring, cut and soldered the wires from the new camera wires together with the old - this has been working fine. The picture is great and having side view cameras also helps for security. Some day I’m going to hook up the functionality to switch to the side camera when the blinker comes on but not in a rush for that one. The biggest problem is that I didn’t like the position of the old screen in the bottom of the console so I moved the new screen to the bottom of the overhead cabinet (over the driver) and like it much better - the wire is a little too short so I connected it to the rear-view mirror inside and just let it hang there (it’s on my list)...
