How To Install The Furrion Back-Up/Observation Camera On Your New RV | Teach Me RV!

[@vytassapiega9094]

Excellent video that is very to the point and without side talk or lengthy pauses - this way it is only long enough to explain the process (which it does very well). Addresses all necessary installation steps.

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

Much appreciated!

[@lenfrank6595]

I have to say this guy know his stuff and in a very entertaining way, like the comment about the screwdriver BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS how to position my lights I have put 3 hours into this till I saw his last comment . Thanks!

Yep that is key

Thank you for this video. I struggled trying to figure out why I was getting no power to the camera with my "pre-wired" Salem Hemisphere Elite. I finally pulled the wiring out and it was wired backwards from the factory.

That would do it

Not the first time I have seen it. Understand typically black is positive and white is negative with lighting in rvs

[@robertwelch5584]

Love the videos. Just a note, backup/observation cameras like the Furrion will not work on the newer Chevy Silverado pickups because the 12 VDC being supplied by the truck is not straight from the battery but instead developed using pulse width modulation (PWM) which effectively shuts off the camera hundred of times a minute so it will never pair. This is a known problem and Furrion is said to be working on an adapter that fixes this "feature" found on Chevy Silverado's. Yeah I know, should have bought a (insert brand name here).

[@therealjr9175]

Good to know! Have not seen it yet. Brand Ford with 6.7L DSL

[@justinhansen1153]

You can now buy the adapter direct from the Furrion website plugs straight into the 7 way at the truck. Part Number F2BC001XXBK

I mounted the first of 2 rearview cameras to the rear mount of our new RV. Used the Rohent system availble on Amazon. About $220 for the Camera mounts, 7" monitor, 2 cameras and wiring. The RV mount was easy to remove. Cut the wiring coming out of the RV and connected the hot(red) wire and black(ground) wires together. Camera mount was pretty close to the holes in the RV, so no major drilling. Used butt connectors and tape for a secure connection. Stuffed wiring down into RV cavity, added a little silicone caulk around rim of mount, screwed mount to RV and added a fair amount of caulk into the small hole to prevent water infiltration. The second camera I mounted to the rear bumper of my truck(where the monitor is). I didn't want to drill any holes, so I purchase 4 neodymium, rare earth magnets from Amazon for about $12. The magnets came mounted in small cases that had two predrilled holes. I mounted two of the magnets to the other camrea mount using small screws. Using a 48" trailer wiring harness that I cut off the half that I din't need, I connected the camera to the trailer wiring and hooked it into the 4 pin trailer connector on my truck. The camera mount stuck to the bumper like glue. I cannot actually pull it off. I can slide it off if needed, but these magnets have a pulling power of over 50 lbs. each. Adjusted the camera angle. With truck lights on, the rearview image is spectacular. HD 1080p. Invaluable for backing up, whether using camera on RV or camera on Truck.

Is it possible to mount an after market wireless rear view camera to the Furrion mount? Furrion was a bit out of my price range.

[@therealjr9175]

Do not think so. Buy once cry once. I am too broke to buy stuff twice

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

What did you end up going with? -JR

[@peterboats]

Mine is pre-wired (2020 Dutchmen Kodiak Ultra-Lite) however, not getting power when the lights are on. The unit does work, we were able to pair them in the tow vehicle. Any idea on where I can start removing panels or other lights to complete the wiring connection?

[@therealjr9175]

Pull the light down that is directly above the camera harness check the wiring they draw power from those lights. Prob a bad connection

[@levireed2805]

Can you add more than one camera to this system? For example, if I wanted one on the truck tailgate, and the rear of the camper?

[@therealjr9175]

Yes in theory for the truck but you can add side mounted and entrance door. So in theory you can do a tailgate but it would take some creativity but not impossible

[@marcialemmond4340]

Furrion Vision S. Ok if it is a motion detector camera that should be able to be used while in an rv how do I get power to the camera when not plugging into my truck for security. I have a Montana 5th wheel.

[@therealjr9175]

You would have to use a 7 way plug adapter approved by Montana the puts power from the charge line of the plug to the clearance lights

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

Did that fix it?

[@bradymcphail9690]

Thanks Jr. Is there a way to tighten the camera in one place once ya get it where you want it so it doesnt bounce out of adjustment? And what size is the camera screen in the tow vehicle? What say you about the types of cameras that have left and right side view? Are they too much clutter? I ask because I've never RV'd and I'm a safety forward person for sure. Anything that can help remove blind spots I'm all for, but I definitely dont want fluttery confession getting in my way that can mess with my driving. BTW- I'm having a hard time deciding the RV to purchase.

[@therealjr9175]

I have not had someone tell me about the falling out of adjustment while driving its pretty firm lock. The screen we are using is a 4.3" but if you are going to side cameras I would say go to the bigger 7" Side cameras have worked great with units that I have seen them on Focus on finding the right floor plan first off. That is most important. What questions do you have about buying your next camper?

[@damianwells2638]

I have a 2020 Montana with this system already installed. Is there a way to hook it up to my F350's existing camera system. The truck has an auxiliary tab that I thought was just for something like this.

[@therealjr9175]

Not that I have seen from someone creditable there are some aftermarket companies but nothing direct yet

[@theslavingroup9860]

Great Video! I purchased the Furion camera pack with the two sides, a rear and over door camera. The two sides and the rear were easy as they used the park light wires, however the over door camera has nothing it's replacing. Where is the easiest/closest place to pull power from on a Winnebago 29ddbh?

[@therealjr9175]

I would check the awning lights or in most other campers I would say ceiling lights. However I think the winnin runs a single light strip down the middle so that might be a long stretch

[@exploringlandandsea4811]

amazing cape, where can I get one?

[@williamyulfo992]

How would you do it if its not prewired? And thanks for the amazing videos again

[@therealjr9175]

Following the instruction manual you would wire into the center clearance light of the camper to gain power from and mount the provided bracket

[@jbyrd7286]

We have a 2019 Coachman Apex 215RBK with a pre wired for a Voyager Camera. Would the Furrion Camera work in this trailer or would I need to rewire it? Great Videos for first timers!!

[@therealjr9175]

No but you can use the power wire just have to mount the supplied bracket

[@arnettleavelliii455]

Will the camera stay on as long as the lights on the trailer are on?. So when your driving down the road it can be used as an observation tool?

Yes

[@davedorn1916]

Just installed a Furion camera in a 2021 22MLS that was not prewired for Furion. Camera paired fine in the vehicle but no signal when mount. Lights are on - marker lights are on but no power to camera or signal I believ i may have made the wrong choice when guessing where the red and black wires were to be tied in. I pit the red on the white pair and the black on the green and white pair. Is that reversed in polarity? Might I suggest a explanation of which is positive and which is negative somewhere in your manuals.

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

White is typically ground with the wiring on lights

[@freddieperez1444]

Camera & monitor work great when plugged into cigarette lighter. Once installed I get no signal at the monitor. That’s with my 5th wheel hooked to my truck with 12v. Help !

I looked at many podcasts on camera installations but nothing on actuality operating it. For example I didn’t know that my running lights had to be on to power the camera, i kept getting a no signal on the monitor. My RV was prewired.

We are about to switch our back up camera from our old TT to our new 5th wheel. Is there anything we need to do to the old set up (camper) when we remove the camera?

For the 3 camera systems, mounting is just as simple?

Installed same system you demonstrated. Paired camera inside truck. Camera worked fine inside truck. Installed camera rear of trailer. Checked to make sure running lights were on. Result no image and power light on camera not lit. Looks like no power to camera from rear plug. TT is a 2021 Coleman Light 2515RL. Furrion #FRCBRKT-BL came installed on trailer. Running lights operating. No power to camera makes me think problem in the trailer. Wire crossed to rear plug ? Not connected inside to running lights? Rear plug wire runs to fuse box and fuse is missing at blown? Anything else you could mention? Thanks

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

I would check the power wire for 12 volt. If it did not have it I would take it in for warranty. See what they missed. It should still be under warranty -JR

Hi there! I have this camera on my 2021 keystone hideout. It always draws power and kills my battery when in storage. What should I do? I knew going out to a dead battery .

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

I do not know how Keystone wires the unit but Forest River and Jayco products wire off the clearance light so unless the truck and trailer are hooked up AND the clearance light is on the unit does not get any power. With that being said any RV will go dead in storage after about 3-5 days typically from everything that is wired to the battery drawing constant power like the radio for the clock memory and LP detector by RVIA code just to name a few. The best thing you can do is manually disconnect the battery when the unit is in storage. I have this on the list to do a video on.

[@joecantu5548]

i have no power to the back up camera when i connect, I checked if there was power on the wires but there isn't any is there a switch to turn power on to the prewire

[@KeystoneRVCenter]

Are the clearance lights on? Have to have power to the lights. The camera uses a jumper off that. So when its plugged into the truck turn the headlight switch to the full on position. NOT AUTO. Look back and be sure the clearance lights are on the trailer. If they are it may be an LED issue but lets start with that part. You can message me directly on our instagram page Keystone RV Center -JR
