Handy tool!
Hey fellow campers! Grabbed this little WiFi enabled endoscope off Amazon and used it to help my father in law fish a cable line from one end of his TT to the other. Without it it would have been had and now we have a clean install. For $30 every Rv’r should add to the box of goodies. Just thought I’d share!

Just heed their warning: Not for medical use or self examination! Lol
I picked up one on Amazon runs on my tablet. Handy tools.

I can already guess where this thread is going. 
But seriously, I'm thinking you taped the camera onto a rigid fish tape to accomplish your task. Is that correct?
I understand how it can work in a pipe without issue however routing a path in a camper without a shielded path would have required a little more support for the camera from one end to the other.
I already put one in my cart though. I don't think I'll ever be able to keep that cart empty for very long.

We did eventually tape it to a fiberglass rod I had but the cord it has is quite stiff. It gave us a pretty good view of what was ahead so as we fished the wire thru. Used the existing Jolie’s on lights and vents as our go betweens.

I used it last year and it worked great. You need to tape it to something to allow you to point it where you want to look. I now know I need to do the vinegar treatment to get rid of the scale!
