Removing the camera was a simple task of taking out four screws and disconnecting it from the plug on the bracket. On a recent trip, I pulled the camera down to re-synch it and see if Furrion’s tech was right. He said if I still had problems after re-synching them, that I should check the voltage at the camera as long as the camera has 12 volts, he said the signal would be plenty strong. The tech support rep told me to pull the camera down and use the extra plug on the monitor’s cord to re-synch the camera and the monitor this was something I didn’t even have to do when I first installed the camera, as it and the monitor came already synched. I decided to call the manufacturer of our camera, Furrion, to find out what I could do. As it turned out, a lot of people seemed to be experiencing similar problems. I immediately hopped on Facebook RV groups to see what others were saying. It shook my trust in this super-helpful tool as I could no longer reliably check to see who was coming up behind me before changing lanes or see what was behind me when backing up. I loved it, that is, until the connection between our monitor and camera started habitually disconnecting and reconnecting while driving down the highway.

On top of that, trying to tell how much room I had behind me after when passing another vehicle on the road was always a guessing game. In our first nine months of traveling, I had done it, but it had been with Dawn spotting for me while talking to me on our walkie talkies. Then, our backing up nightmare happened, and Dawn and I were committed to installing it.īefore installing the backup camera, I was pretty terrified of backing into an RV spot or really backing up, in general. I ordered the Furrion Vision S Vehicle Observation System rear camera with 7-inch monitor, but for the first nine months of travel, I never had or took the time to install it as more was required than just plugging it in and mounting it. Before we ever began our adventure, I ordered a backup camera for our fifth-wheel from Amazon because our 2017 trailer was “pre-wired” for a backup camera.
