In my experience, many cameras like yours revert to black and white once it gets dark enough. Also it appears that your camera might have built in infrared LEDs for a kind of 'night vision'. You usually cannot see the infrared light when looking at the camera at night but the image on the monitor will appear as if illuminated by a dim flashlight, especially at close range. Due to the low power of these LEDs, they have minimal effect until it gets very dark out.
In general, small cameras(small image sensor) and small monitors do not work well in low light conditions.
A larger view screen might help. Does your current monitor have a contrast adjustment?
I apologize for not being able to find it, Im better with a saw than a search engine but can anyone point me to a discussion on the cabover pegboard. I found one post where it is mentioned as a mod by the previous owner but mine had the same setup as did a friend with a 70 C11 Ultra. Im really just wondering if it was for weight distribution or insulation or ? Really necessary?
Winter finally arrived here in PA, hope it doesn't stay, Muley Point awaits.

Can you explain the pegboard a little further , is it on the cabover floor ?

The air space/condensation reliever is much more plausible. I'm putting a thin sheet of fiberglass as the outer layer of my cabover bed. Then the foam mattress with some as yet unidentified material beneath it to allow ventilation.
If it ain't one thing, it's another...
Onward!
I appreciate the discussion about the spacer beneath the cabover mattress. I've not noticed an issue in the past, but I will check. BTW we should be hitting the road next week and are planning to meet up with a Florida Avionista. I'm hoping to outrun the Polar Vortex, but I may not get far enough away in time. But, it will be warmer than Illinois.
Meanwhile I ordered a G4 Giraffe which was just delivered. It determines the height of obstacles. I'm puzzling over a mounting technique. It is bolted, usually, to the vertical exterior mirrors of big rigs. You also have to run the line into the truck....

At first I thought the pegboard was used to provide airflow into the mattress for some reason(or perhaps double as an air hockey table). Perhaps they used it as a lighter weight alternative to the solid masonite? If it was not factory then it was a somewhat common mod. Either way, it sounds like it would be a good idea to make a replacement. Thanks for the input.
I noticed the clear spaces on the exterior where the interior ribs had transferred the heat.
