RV UPGRADE: INSTALLING THE NEW FURRION VISION S CAMERA SYSTEM!

[@Terry-cv9rz]

I Bought the Haloview RD7 to replace a camera system from Furrion Vision S that had significant drop out issues. Installation was not a problem - powering the camera off the top rear marker light. Swapped out the old mounting brackets for the new ones and ran the transmission cable up to the front of my 26 foot long camper. Mounted the transmitter with liberal amounts of RTV/Silicon. Got the monitor hooked up in the cab, powered it up and turned on the marker lights. The camera and monitor paired automatically and provided me a terrific view of my back yard - as expected. Finally got to road test it this past weekend on a short camping trip - about 50 miles one way. Camera performed flawlessly the whole way - didn't notice a single drop out and had very little, if any flicker. Decent field of view as well. I can see cars within about 20 feet of my rear bumper and can pick up the entire lane of expressway on either side at about 40 feet back. I am VERY satisfied with the performance of this system so far. Big test will be next month with a 1000 mile trip coming up. Looking forward to it.

Thank you guys, this video saved me a lot of frustration. I installed one of these on my camper but couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t getting power. Even took it to my RV dealer to check the wiring, they said it was all good. Nowhere in the instructions or at the dealer was it mentioned I needed to have the truck lights ON for power to get to the camera… (I felt like such an idiot!) thanks much, and happy travels!

[@BrazenBrits]

We had the original Furrion, but the screen got stolen when we got robbed in Houston 😡 Quick question: if the trucks lights need to be on to supply power to the cams, how can the system be used as a security system when it’s unhitched 🤔

[@gregebel3842]

Just jumper pins 3 & 4 of the TV power cord. This connects the camper's 12 pin to the tail light pin. Use a 10A or 15A fuse to do it.

[@BrazenBrits]

@@gregebel3842 genius! Thank you 🙏

[@loriejohnson8706]

Nice that your 5th wheel had those lights there. Out Montana does not have lights in that location. I guess there are other locations of side lights we could spot it.

[@rhonda5167]

We just bought a Furion camera. We're excited to get it installed.I love your shirt!!

[@GetawayCouple]

Great purchase! Thanks for the compliment!!

[@Tryke_Ryder]

I hope I am wrong, but I would be worried about the screw on wire nuts vibrating loose. Great video!!

[@charlie9665]

What did you ever do with the extra camera? Did you find a way to put over the door? Thanks

[@rcharliebrown3591]

Got the 5S Furrion kit. (Fifth wheel 35 ‘, F-450 6.7 L platinum 22’) the three,work well, no drop issues, but still haven’t figured what and how to deal with extra. That can go above the entrance door or a second backup camera, though this one has the green-yellow- red grid parking markers to help with backing up. Best thing is the pre-wired one isnthat it sees while driving, in forewarn, whereas the Ford one doesn’t work unless truck in reverse….

[@carrieswanson7893]

Hi guys! Love the hat by the way, Go Hawks! We have a 4.3 Furrion observation camera and it worked once! It will not pair when the camera is on the trailer, but it does when the camera and monitor are next to each other. We have a new GD trailer and new F-350 truck since we bought the camera and it won’t work with either the old or new set up. Furrion says 2019/2020 Ford and GMC trucks have issues with the cameras getting power through the 7 way plug in the truck. We bought an adapter from them to see if that helped, no go. They say the trucks “learn” about the accessory and won’t let power go to it. I called BS on that. If that is true, then Jason and Rae, you should start having issues with your camera pretty soon. We’ve spent $545 between the camera and the adapter and it doesn’t work. Has anyone else heard this excuse from Furrion?

[@brianvanostran2944]

You know if you want to monitor your cameras that are on 12 volt, you can put a 15 amp fuss in the top two holes in electrical plug on the camper , then it will light your lights and your cameras will work.

[@peterpadelsky86]

How do you power the monitor? It’s a cigarette lighter style

[@jeffquillen5560]

I have the regular furrion camera installed. The distance is outstanding! I had my rig at the dealer getting worked on. When I picked it up, I could see them moving the rig about 60yards away

[@gregebel3842]

Would love to see a night view to see what it looks like then. My current camera is horrible at night. Wish they could make a backup camera that is good like the backup camera on my vehicle.

[@danmiller107]

How do you keep the monitor on mine goes of after a min and I have to hit the button to turn it back on.

[@helmsman3838]

Is there a speaker that allows the driver to hear outside by the camera someone talking

[@peterbloss6201]

I have the rear view shark fin that I installed with the 7" monitor. It works great on my 27BHSS Minnie Plus.

[@GetawayCouple]

Good to know!

[@allens7476]

I'll be curious to see how the reception goes while you're underway.

[@markjackson1970]

I’m trying to install the side cameras now. Those instructions are almost useless. I have a 2022 momentum and it wasn’t presided for side cameras. I’m trying to figure out what to do with the turn signal wire.

[@dearbulls]

Does the screen has video out? Wish I can have it projected to the central screen other than holding a pad. I already have a video in port ready.

[@charlie9665]

Have a 2021 Solitude 310GK, and didn’t come with newer maker light to just add camera. 🤔

[@compubyte2010]

I'd like to say furion is good, but had one installed in our rv lasted 2 months .. had a 2nd one installed lcd screen dies again after 3 month .. 2 lemons in a row?? Decided to just use a rasberry zero and build my own 😆

[@stephphilli9132]

Carmen had me cracking up with her “commentary” during the unboxing. She definitely wanted to be involved with the project! Stay safe :)

[@GetawayCouple]

Right!! She's so silly.

[@pauldem544]

Since I don't have a bed camera, I would put the 'door' camera in the bed of the pickup to help with hitching up the fifth wheel since I don't have a fancy 2020 GMC with the bed camera....

[@GetawayCouple]

Great idea!

[@squirrelsrus1]

My observation cam worked for one trip. :( Now it will start off with full bars and then drop to no signal in a few minutes. Replacing it resulted in the same behavior. Hopefully, they have made corrections to it.

[@jerrysickler]

I purchased a Furrion back up camera. While in motion it was horrible. It would freeze up and sometimes go off. I returned it and purchase a backup camera from Tadi Brothers. It's so very much better. Never freezes

[@Terry-cv9rz]

In Haloview RD7 series, the signal is still strong during high-speed transmission, and the image will not freeze.

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

My unit has a mount for a furrion system. I might need to check it out.

[@mbw7414]

Hi...do you have a review of the system after using for a while? Thanks

[@GetawayCouple]

We haven't done a follow up review video but the system has been performing great. Since we didn't have a camera for the first two and a half years, it took some time to get into the habit to actually look at the cameras. Now, it's nice to have the extra viewpoints and helps in tight quarters and backing up. Definitely eases some stress of RV life!

[@dannyd2639]

Love your content guys. I was gonna pay someone to install mine but now I know for a fact I can do it myself.

[@wannabefulltimers]

Carmen was convinced she was part of that conversation. Hilarious! I'm curious to know how the camera works when you start driving. I'll be sure to keep up because I'm looking into one.

[@GetawayCouple]

Carmen always wants to be part of the conversation lol!

Using Wire Nuts on a vehicle? Vibration may cause them to loosen over time.... I would have used a crimp or better: a solder connection.

[@materanddory2010]

FYI DC circuits doesnt have neutral, Negative and Positive. Usually Black and Red. Those colors made no sense on DC circuit. Always use a multimeter to check voltages.

[@GetawayCouple]

Thanks for the info!

[@rossreed9974]

Nice looking setup, curious to see how the side-marker camera extensions hold up .. Is there a provision to prevent them from falling off due to bumps and vibration?

[@GetawayCouple]

Yes! The side markers are screwed into the RV and the cameras are screwed into the side markers. Hope that makes sense lol.

Seahawks .. yeah !

@@GetawayCouple It is wireless. We only have one camera. Use it all the time. Very helpful in city traffic to see if anyone is tailgating. Can be a bit nerve racking to make lane changes in traffic. Just gives us a little more edge for those who dart around us.

[@englepj]

Some people take the monitor out of the truck and into their trailer to use as a security system. You can power the lights/cameras by jumping two pins on the trailer wiring harness that goes to the truck, BUT then the trailer lights are on. Anyone figure out a way to power the cameras without the lights coming on?

[@dennisfowler1281]

Hello, love your videos. I have a 40' 5th wheel with the furrion backup/observer camera and it also showed about 2 bars while sitting in the driveway. However you will probably find that the rear camera will NOT stay connected while driving however there is a fix. I purchased the 12" antennas (1 for the rear camera and one on the monitor) and that fixed my problem. I hope yours works without doing that but if you like I can send a link to the 12" antenna. Safe travles.

[@GetawayCouple]

Interesting! We've had three driving days since the install and it has stayed connected! Hopefully with this new camera they improved their tech.

[@UpInThisHitch247]

I have the same model and I can drive 2 tenths of a mile away from the trailer and still have clear picture and no problems while driving. I must have got a good one🤷‍♂️

[@dankarau2307]

These are only rated for 50' when in motion and up to 500' of direct open space(which you don't have when under way) If you have a 40+ foot rig and a 8' truck box you will be near the limits of this system. I think for larger coaches the Haloview will be a better choice and is 1/2 the price.

[@philipjones6481]

I got the Haloview RD7-MAX, it really worked great and had a good range for my 42ft 5th wheel, no signal drop out, the price is much cheaper than Furrion. I'm satisfied with it.

[@gregebel3842]

Get some Wago Lever Nuts from Amazon. So much better than regular wire nuts (and yes I noticed you called them wing nuts lol).

Hey, we're waiting for our 2021 Jayco Eagle HT 280RSOK to arrive and it's pre-wired for Furrion rear and side cameras. We'd love to know what you think of this system since to have it added it will cost us $1400.00 CDN plus 13% tax. It's a lot of money if it's just so so. Keep up with the great videos, they're great even for experienced weekend campers. We can learn new things too.

I had the exact results you had with my Furrions. Got 3 of them and 1 worked 1 time and that’s it

[@donhediger5072]

Wire nuts, the things you used to connect the wiring, are not the best choice for connecting wires in a location subject to movement and vibration (an RV for example) and could vibrate loose leaving you with a blown fuse. Or worse, an RV fire.

[@seabliss22]

What do you recommend?

[@waynet5228]

Old electrician truck put caulking in the wire nuts after you connect the wires.

[@budbacker4887]

[@bldroverland]

Did the "Door" camera automatically relabel itself as "Rear" when you installed it in the factory backup cam module, or does the touchscreen allow you to swap labels? Have a 2020 Grand Design with the pre-existing mounts for rear and side cameras and want to use the 4th camera for an interior view while in motion. Just curious if the labels are editable so I can appease my OCD haha

[@GetawayCouple]

When you sync the cameras you have to tell the screen which camera you want, and then you press a button on the actual camera to sync it. So yes, you are allowed to swap labels!
