Haloview RV Backup Camera DIY Installation Install (RV Living Full Time)4K
Being full time travelers, we have seen a lot of different campgrounds and RV resorts. And each site is so different. Though we have over a year of experience now, travel day still has a lot of stresses- like parking the camper without damaging it, especially since this is our full time home on wheels. Safety on the road when and pulling into a campsite is crucial.
.
Backing into tight RV spots is still one of the most stressful things about RVing ("Sorry for what I said while parking the camper"). Alice does a great job guiding me back into tough spots but I still GOAL, (Get Out And Look) a lot. Not being able to see my blind side when we are parking between trees is difficult. We hope the Haloview 4 Camera System will help us reduce stress and increase safety while backing in our Fifth Wheel.
In this video, all 4 safety cameras are installed, with step by step instructions. And the Haloview monitor is mounted in our dually truck. We give our first impression of the system- showing exactly what the camera view is for all the marker light cameras. We will do a follow up full product review once we have some actual experience with the system. See chapters below.

As usual, great job. You often have the badly needed knack that many channels do not have; keeping it simple yet concise at the same time without making the video far too long. Keep on Keeping On.

David, that is the tricky part- be thorough but concise. Thanks for noticing, Alice
I put my wife in the driver's seat when attempting to back in a spot. I know where it needs to go, when to turn when my feet are on the ground. She knows the hand signals and knows when to stop when we lose visual of each other. Usually the main driver knows how to manuver the combination into a spot, but when you're blind side is tight, swap drivers and you'll be able to manuver in place. It works great for us. No arguments!

LOL I heard Larry's raised voice up here. He is loud. I like the door camera myself. Lets you know who is there and also for backing in to make sure you are in a good spot for your door to open with the steps. Wow that was a killer line on buying or not. Sounds like something I would say. lol Just messing with yeah. Wow you have 3 hands Larry? That must come in handy for sure. Did you 3D print that 3rd hand? lol Oh that was Alice. I just heard you confirm. I 100% agree with drilling a pilot hole. Just avoids issues. We have the factory installed system. I don't use it all the time but I do like having it. I like this system as well. Looks really solid. Great share. Now go warm up.

Robert, thank you. We are always looking for ways to make camping better.
We had a 3 camera system installed when we bought our fifth wheel and we love it for backing the trailer in to sites, our storage bay etc. But we are installing a 5 camera system that connects to our wireless router for security. One on each corner and one above the door. This lets us keep an eye on things from any location and notifies me on my phone when motion is detected.

I wish there was a smart way to temporarily attach the screen to the rear view mirror of the truck while towing. The driver is used to looking in that mirror normally and would make the rear view camera more natural. DOES THIS CAMERA SET UP COME WITH A CAMERA THAT CAN BE ATTACHED TO THE FURION MOUNT THAT IS ALREADY ON THE CAMPER? Since this would make patching of holes unnecessary.

Interesting that you used the repeater, seems like more things to fail.

The transmitter for the rear camera is not a repeater, it is just a remote transmitter so you can use the extension cable if you need it. How is the picture quality in the Furr ion. The camera i had before was terrible, the picture quality was unusable for backing up and i got constant drop outs, this system is a huge improvement. Thanks for your input. Larry
