@@RVingwithG yes there is. They now offer a better rear camera that works in conjunction with side cameras. amzn.to/33AAyHC amzn.to/2QuUN4w

It does see things more clearly than the old one due to this better camera.

This would be very handy for towing the boat behind the trailer

You can remove the tiny 2.4ghz antenna and install a low signal loss antenna wire along the top of your RV and then plug that into a TP-link directional antenna that is point forward at your tow vehicle for a much stronger signal. All available on Amazon.

Haloview says the camera viewing angle is 120 degrees. That's more than 90, so IMO your image is nowhere near a 120 view. That would show the bumper and everything behind you. Am I missing what 120 deg means? Maybe it's side to side since the monitor is wider in that direction.

Wider than higher..

Looks like a better camera

My rv don’t have. A back window is there away to add a screen inside where I can’t flip on if I hear something outside if I wired it. To a constant power

All you have to do is run constant 12 volt power to the camera..It will require fishing wires through the RV to where you want to mount the camera...check out my previous camera installation where I talk about mounting the camera.. Remember you don't need to "flip" on the camera..It can always have 12volt going to it and when the monitor is off it will go into a low power mode.when you want to see the camera and turn it on all you do is turn on the monitor and it will wake up the camera...

I just can't get used to using a camera to back up. Guess I'm old school. I mean I usualy get out and survey the area I'm going to back into anyway. So i already know if I'm going to run over something or crash into an object. I also use a traffic cone to mark where I want stop/park. Otherwise i just really use my mirrors and judge points of angle and reference points on my fifth wheel. Ie. Axles, wheels ,bumper, sides,and points of departure on the ground, and surrounding areas. I usually have to back up solo, and am constantly watching for tv angle, trailer angle, front of vehicle, etc. , so I really don't have time to look at a monitor. My 44ft toyhauler came with a camera, but can't seem to get the hang of it.

The main thing that we use the camera for is when we're traveling down the road you know when you're clear of cars that you may be passing before you do a lane change. Also if somebody's tailgating. When backing into spots that have a definite end to them, it well let you know how "deep" to go into them before you have to stop.

You can - and should - check the area behind you before backing up. But once you get used to the camera, you'll wonder how the heck you ever lived without it!

It works definitely for larger vehicles.. And yes you will wonder how the heck you lived without them.. I love the 360 in the truck, now I wished the Kia had it, hahaha

Doesn't this monitor have the option putting lines on the screen? When you find yourself with signal problems you might want to make sure the antenna on the camera is pointing straight up. These have a directional signal that are perpendicular to the antenna and having it straight up and down will improve the signal, at least it did for me. I have the Furrion and it is not bad but could be better if it were an HD camera. I have a bed cam on the truck that runs through the radio and that's great for hitching up with the truck but the Furrion camera won't run through the infotainment system so I have to have the monitor for the truck and the trailer separate which isn't terrible but just another component on my dash board. I would like to find out if this camera will work in conjunction with your new truck's on board monitor too.

I played around with antenna on RV And it needs to be at a 45 out and away from TT, As far as the dash antenna that one only gets put perpendicular when the RV is connected as the signal is plenty strong to reach the back of the truck no matter where it is positioned.. This system does not connect to new F250 SYNC 3 system.... They have a cabled camera for their stuff at Ford...not sure if I will ever do that... will see..

Instead of using tape to mark locations on the screen, apply a tablet screen saver. (Cut down if needed) Use pertinent marker to draw your locations on the screen saver. No tape blocking the camera view and no sticky tape residue on hot days. If your set up ever changes just replace the screen saver and remark. You will probably want an anti-glair type screensaver.

I doubt it... Call the manufacturer though, could be they have an answer..

Does your clearance light give you any problems cause it is mounted on top of the light? I have noticed that a lot of people will mount it below because they say it messes with the camera picture.

Looking for a backup camera for the trailer, but I want some way to communicate when the wife is assisting me in backing, what radio do you use? We have some cheap Midland that is crap, I can not hear in the truck.

@@Rvdaydream The factory Furrion mount on trailers are below the clearance lights. Above the roof line is extreme.

If you receive a product for free in return you "talk about it", that is payment. It's hard for youtubers to bite the hand that feeds them. I've checked reviews from people who have purchased the first set up they gave you, most common complaints mention reception problems. Maybe if you were out of pocket you wouldn't be so quick to take the blame for that. Good video, although I did have to speed it up to 1.5 the speed.

You keep it real always daydreaming about RVing instead of doing it. What's holding you back? Please take it as a sincere question not a slam or negative at all I know change is difficult.
