You have a sunseeker with sideview cameras mounted on the bottom of the side mirrors?
I'm trying to decipher the picture but it doesnt look like the ones on my Sunseeker

On my 3051 the left side camera will fill up with rain and give a crappy picture but the right one works rain or shine.

We run both. We run some side mirror mounted ones and have recently used some body mount. The goal is to go all body mount so they are the same for every model Right now, Velvac does not make a mirror for the Mercedes Sprinter.

take a picture while its got water in it. Not sure what Velvac's stance is on those cameras. Picture would help the cause.
