Paul Woodacre Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 How do i remove the front panel on reversing camera to wipe away condensation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecal Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Hi You could try gentle heat and dry it out over a period of time (it may take a few goes example with a hairdryer ) then find were the water is getting in and seal same, sometimes this can be difficult and not long lasting as some reversing cameras have sealing issues Maybe the best advice is to replace the camera itself , Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Woodacre Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Thank you. Maybe take it back to dealer who fitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Evidently some Dometic/Waeco cameras can be disassembled https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/dometic-reverse-camera-serviceable.283412/ https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/reversing-camera-repairs.249014/ My 2005 Hobby and 2015 Rapido motorhomes had small single-lens Waeco reversing cameras. Those vehicles stood idle for months during the winter and the cameras were hosed down when the motorhome was cleaned. There were no water ingress or condensation issues (I believe both cameras had an integrated heater to deal with condensation) which was fortunate as a) they were clearly not designed for DIY repairs and b) replacement on a like-for-like basis would have been expensive.

Seth77 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 To fix the condensation in the Waeco camera, try drying it gently with a hairdryer or sealing any leaks. If that doesn't work, think about getting a new camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laimeduck Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 A few years ago I took the camera off my Benimar because it was misted. Need watchmakers screwdrivers to disassemble. Cleaned it, and sealed it back up with silicone especially where the wires exit. No further problems with it and it's now 20 years old...

onecal Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Hi Paul I am afraid a lot of these reversing camera are well known for condensation and as as many will tell you that some are pretty difficult to seal and really don't last. Always worth a try though. Replacement is usally the best option Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
