Got our new 2290s yesterday

We picked up our new 2020 2290s yesterday, we traded the 2700ds for it. The new one has solar panels and swivel driver and passenger seats. Looks like they did a very good job of putting this one together. The only thing I don't like is the backup camera setup, instead of the monitor being mounted on the windshield its in the dash mounted Sony radio. It displays the camera rear view when your in reverse and side views when the turn signals are on but there is no rear view when you are driving so I can't see if my toad is still there. Looks like I am in the market for a toad camera. They did give me a rearview mirror.

You should check the home settings. In my 2019 3010ds i can manually chose rear camera while driving. This would allow you to see your toad and possibly save money and not have to buy another camera system

I have a new Sunseeker with the Sony in dash radio. I am able to thumb through the touch screen icons to “Camera”, and turn the camera on full time. It’s stays that way even after turning the key off and back on. This is one of the features I verified before purchase. I don’t use the radio for anything besides that camera.
