Haloview MC7108 Wireless RV Backup Camera! || Installation on our Grand Design Transcend
We love our Grand Design Transcend Travel Trailer, but one of the things we have really been wanting has been a backup camera for our longer trips. This Haloview MC7108 Wireless RV backup camera was half the price of a Furrion camera, and plugged easily into the manufacturer's mount!
Overall, the installation took about 30 minutes. We have only used the Haloview MC7108 Wireless RV Backup Camera a few times since install, but we are very happy with our purchase!
A few things to remember about this backup camera:
1) The Haloview connection is not like the Furrion that comes from the factory, so you will have to purchase an additional mount that comes with the adaptor plug.
2) In order to have the backup monitor turn on in your Tow Vehicle, you need to make sure you turn your headlights "on".

We have a GD Imagine and really appreciated seeing your video and how to install it on a GD.
You're going to love having a back up camera. Backing up is easier and we love seeing the traffic around us! Nice job - Michelle & Brian

Thanks friends! We really enjoy being able to see traffic around us - makes changing lanes a lot less stressful for sure!
Thanks for a great video, you solved a problem for me with mention of the AUTO switch to your headlights needing to be in manual mode. My camera wasn't working after my installation of camera, and checking this video solved the problem with no work, thanks again.
You should push the wire through the rubber gasket. That way it's inside the trailer wall and protected.
Nicely done! They make them now to clip on your rear view mirror and the receiver that you can mount quite close to the monitor on top of the camper
Found yall on a Facebook KZread page. Subscribed. We almost bought a wireless camera for our vintage camper. May still buy one.

I had that one at first... I switched to the dominator and haven't regretted it at all.

Hmm I don't think I had seen anyone mention the dominator. What's the major difference?

We have the dominator as well. It was the RD7 mini ready to use with Furrions setup.
Thanks guys we appreciate this video , helps us a lot
We are leaning towards this Haloview. Love the video
Thanks!
New sub here! Thanks for the info! We are looking into getting one of these! Great video!
Thanks for the help! Watching this gave me confidence and I just installed it a couple days ag. I had a lot of wires that I just wrapped around the camera and zip tied in place. What did you do with your wires?
Good job... we just installed ours as well!

Awesome! I just hope it doesn't fall off haha 😂
Thanks for the video I just bought this same Halo system. Wish you would have shown wiring into the trailer. Probably not too complicated?
My questing why do they put them up so high can they be put down lower for a better field of view .
I mounted mine on my dash with a police mount by Panavise. I got a universal one from a Canadian eBay seller cheap and drilled my f250 dash to fit. Screw it. I utilized a magnet type mount so I can pull the display unit off with magnet force. It works good but falls if I catch air in my truck. Lol. Not joking. It was an accident.

Haha I feel that catching air in your truck may be frowned upon... especially with something hooked up! A strong magnet type mount seems like a solid idea (no pun).
Well done video.
Spurs on the rear view. 1st Cav?

What did you end up doing with the extra wire?
So what did you end up doing with the monitor. That’s what I’m stuck on. I see they have a suction mount on amazon and their site but haven’t seen any video reviews for it holding up on the windshield.

We purchased this suction cup mount bracket: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TQLHYJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s03?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works okay, vibrations loosen the screws so we find ourselves re-tightening them frequently. But for $18 and our weekend warrior lifestyle.. it works great!

We have to be careful the Monitor doesn't obscure the view out the front window. One post said some states will fine for obstructed views. In an accident, may factor fault. I'm thinking his placement in this video will be my choice.
hows the night vision on this?
You guys don't upload anymore :(
