2015 Forest River Salem Hemisphere 368RLBH

Just purchased a 2015 Forest River Salem Hemisphere 368RLBH. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is pre-wired for a backup camera and what size generator is needed to run it? any help and advice would be appreciated.

If your unit is gen. ready (for ease of hook-up) check out the RV salvage yards for a RV generator the size you need (probably 4000w) and simply put it in place........this is what I did , got one actually larger than was required purchased , shipped to me for 2k , it was liquid propane fueled , bought a forklift tank and was good to go---------otherwise I am sure you can get it wired in by someone competent.
Total deal $2200 fueled and running----unit is an Onan 6300LP.........Less $ than some portable units , don't have to lug it around , no worry about it "walking away" !

Stadni45, any issues with the Ac keeping it cool enough? I just purchased a Salem hemisphere 368RLBH (2015). I live in Alabama and it's running mid 90's outside. I have both AC units on with living area thermostat set at 76 and it's running 82 in the living area and 77 in the master bedroom. With fan blowing the ad from the bedroom to the rear, and a fan circulating in the living room and BH.
