    I would be careful running constant power to the camera as they are not really designed for it. I would set it up through a switch or possibly a double switched relay that would come on when reverse is selected or when a switch in the drivers compartment is selected.

    Yeah I would have thought the Camera was not designed for constant duty cycle either? Bears suggestion would be the best outcome if your looking to use it for checking your trailer load or something?

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I think he was trying to list the seller. That guy has a heap of stuff listed at pretty good pricing.

    For the rear camera do as MudRunnerTD suggested, get your power from the reverse light. Thats what I have done. As for the rest. If your worried about voltage drop as long as there is no more that .4 of a volt difference between the battery its hooked up to and the socket it at the back, should be fine.
