Electrical work around

Have a MB 2016 GLE350 4MATIC with a factory hitch. Cameras on travel trailer won’t work. I think it’s because of the computer on the SUV causing the the voltage to be too low for the 12 amp cameras. How do I fix this or do a workaround.

Try using the search function on this site, I think this has been covered, maybe by Greg in Oregon.

This is the most relevant thread: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...tallation.html. I don't think it answers your question directly.

12A is a pretty high draw for cameras. What vehicle were you using these with before?
