Default radio for a camper 12v.

This is a little off topic for the corvette site,but I need help. I am replacing a radio cassette player in my camper with a newer one. the wiring diagram shows a yellow fused wire and says backup. It is a 1a fuse. the power wire is red and is a 3A fuse. What is a backup wire and can it be tied in with the red 3a power wire? Thanks

Backup means constant power to do things like save the clock. The red is switched power. You can hook it to the red and it will work but you'll lose time and radio presets etc each time power is removed. Might not matter to you for a camper.
