Hello, neighbors and friends, Steve here with etrailer.com. Folks, today we're taking a look together at our Furrion Vision S Wireless RV backup camera system with four included LED marker lights and cameras. So folks, this is gonna give you a nice seven inch display screen. It's a wireless backup camera system that's gonna improve your side view and rear view visibility on your RV or camper. It's also gonna minimize your blind spots on both sides and the rear, which in turn should help prevent accidents and just give you an overall better view of what's going on while you're traveling down the road or parking. Now this kit can support up to four wireless cameras, so you can get additional wireless cameras purchased separately.
Now the whole unit here is DOT approved and the CMOS marker light cameras create a nice clear digital video in full color. Now you're gonna get two amber light cameras. They have an impressive 65 degree viewing angle on them. So you can see they're angled out and you can see all the different LED lights and everything there. The housing comes off for quick and easy changing of the LED bulbs if for some reason they ever need replaced.
And again, they give you that angled view on the camera. Now the rear taillight one, as you can see, uses the booster antenna 'cause it's farther back, but it also has the same feature as far as the lens can be removed, and it gives you an impressive 120 degree viewing angle. Now the monitors and sensors will trigger the monitor itself to turn on when it gets motion. And it's an IR cut filter that's built in. It's going to block out all infrared light during the daytime and that's gonna capture better natural looking images.
Now as far as the LEDs on the side cameras, there are 12 LEDs on the side that's gonna help give you 39 feet of nighttime visibility. And on the rear one you have eight surrounding LEDs around the camera and that's gonna give you 16 feet of nighttime viewing at the back one. Now, as you can see why I got this guy after it fell over. So this has a suction mount on there for the windshield or for a window. You can simply pop that out just like that.
And then you have a standing one that you could pop on and literally just pushes in place. And then you could pop that down like that. And it could pivot side to side and give you a better view as well. So again, you got the suction for the windshield and the base just by itself. Now as far as the screen, again, seven inches of full color. It's an LCD touchscreen monitor. It's gonna give you a quad screen, so it would give you the hash marks there and split it into four individual camera angles. Simultaneously, that's gonna help you while you're driving down the road or parking, like I said. It has auto dimming, anti glare. It's gonna be super easy to see in any light condition day or night. You can change the brightness, color contrast, image orientation. Everything can be color coded. You can make the rear assist marker line show distance from other objects. So if you want to see distance while you're backing up, it'll show you the distance. It also has an auto offsetting that powers the monitor down after 10, 20 or 30 seconds depending on how you set it up. Now the cool thing with these, they also have speakers built into 'em. So the speakers are gonna let you hear things outside. So maybe if you're getting help backing up, the microphone is gonna pick up your friend's voice. And when you hear 'em saying stop or this much farther or whatnot. It also has a built-in digital transmitter that's gonna offer high quality uninterrupted video for up to 492 feet away. And it's gonna eliminate interference from your smartphones, routers, other wireless devices and those kind of things. Now all these cameras use durable metal housing and that's gonna give 'em an IP 65 rating. That's gonna protect against dust, low pressure water jet sprays, those kind of things. And they should be waterproof and water resistant as well. Now it's as far as installing it is some drill required. It's very minimal. Obviously you gotta drill the holes into the side or back or wherever you're mounting 'em, and then put the corresponding pads in place, hooking up the wires and those kind of things. You get a charger for powering up the screen monitor. And you also get the receiver here as well with wire and some cable ties to finish up the installation. Now these cameras will and can replace your side and rear middle clearance lights on the camper or RV. Now I'm not gonna go through all the dimensions 'cause there's a lot of different ones. That information is here on the product page itself. You're more than welcome to take the time to check that out. We'll give you all the dimensions as far as nine hole spacing, all that kind of stuff, all those kind of things you need to know. So again, check that out here on the website. As far as the monitor, it gives you a 480 by 272 on that display. I'm trying to think of the word, the pixelation or whatever. And the cameras themselves use a 720 by 480 for their clarity and stuff like that. So again, gonna give you a nice picture. The voltage, 12 volts to 24 volts DC current, and the camera cable lengths on the camera cables is six inches long. Well folks, that's gonna wrap it up. I wanna thank you so much for joining me. A lot of information to go over with this Furrion Vision S wireless RV backup camera system. I hope the information has been helpful. Again, I'm Steven, have a great day.

Waterproof cameras let you keep an eye on your blind spots whether you're changing lanes on a busy highway or backing up into a tight campsite space. Motion sensors automatically power the monitor to alert you of prowling animals or trespassers.I purchased this as a backup camera for my small RV, which already had been pre-wired with a Furrion mount already installed that looked just like this one. Installation was easy enough for the monitor, although the preinstalled mount was for an older version camera, and this newer one was slightly different, which required me to remove the old mount, seal holes, and put new holes in my RV to install this one. The wiring connector was also different, which required cutting the existing wiring and installing a compatible connector for the new camera. That was a disappointment. Also, I regret getting the 7" monitor instead of the 5". The resolution of both are the same, and the 7" is just too large to be out of the way in my GMC Yukon. Plus a bigger monitor doesn't give better quality.
But honestly, I expected more from this Furrion product, especially given the price. As a reference, I also purchased a different wireless backup camera from a different manufacturer for my tow vehicle which was 720p and $150, which has proved to be of higher quality and a better overall experience. In addition, within less than 6 months, the overly-fragile plastic exterior antenna on the camera developed a crack and Furrion refused to replace it, instead sending me a link to buy a $10 replacement. This will be my last Furrion product purchase.
Also, prospective buyers should be aware of what I found to be really poor video quality from the 480p 7" monitor. Even with this low resolution and low bandwidth, the video still stutters, as if the frame rate is like 8-10 frames per second. It is definitely not smooth. My RV is only 16' long OAL, including tongue, so the range is about 25' max from camera to monitor. It should be better, IMO, and definitely for the price. I find it practically unusable in low light situations. I would not recommend this product, nor would I purchase it again, sadly.
This is a great little camera and relatively easy to install. I installed it on my 1974 Prowler in less than an hour. It should be obvious the camper was not pre-wired for a camera so I wired it into my running lights. I no longer have to look for shadows when I think a car is on my bumper. All I have to do is turn on my parking or head lights.
The camera lens gives a fish eye view, so when you see a car, it's relatively close. I bought the version with the small screen and it's fine, although I think the large one would be better.
I thought I could use the windshield mount but with progressive lense sunglasses it was giving me a headache as I was squinting to see what was on the screen as it was the distance portion of the glasses. I now keep the screen at dashboard height, so it's in my reading range and doesn't strain my eyes.
We're in the middle of a 6000 +- mile trip and a camera is working great. It really helps with visibility on the road and parking.
A word of caution: the instructions tell you to drill a 5/8 hole in the camper for the wiring. The grommet is 1/2 inch, so drill 1/2 inch hole and you won't have to source a 5/8 inch grommet.
I highly recommend the unit. Consider spending the extra for the bigger screen and mount the screen below the top of the dash.
Our camera failed at 11 months so still under warranty which etrailer honored. They got a replacement out quickly
We've had this Backup Camera for a year, and we won't ever go back to not having one. Of course, it makes backing up so much easier than trying to rely on the side view mirrors, especially when you do not have someone to guide you. But where it really shines is using the camera as our rear-view mirror while pulling our travel trailer. It helps ensure we can change lanes safely, a BIG PLUS!
1 year later. This past year we finished visiting all 50 states. Driving a truck camper with our backup camera. Excellent purchase, could not have driven as much as we have without it!
Having a good backup camera is a godsend on the highway. It makes changing lanes and taking turns so much easier when you can clearly see what is happening behind you. This camera does the job very well and has taken all the stress out of towing. The screen is nice and bright, and when the camera detects low light conditions, it automatically switches to a grayscale night mode so it's not blinding you as you drive. My only minor complaint is that there have been just a few times when the connection has been a bit laggy. I imagine this isn't a problem at all with a hard wired connection though. Worth every penny!
Have not tested this on the road, so this covers installation.
Instructions are clear and easy to follow, I was not clear about what to do with the trigger wire when you are retro fitting to an older RV, the FAQ on etrailer had the info, thanks for that.
Installed this on a 2000 Lance camper sitting on a 1978 Ford F250
The side cameras were very easy to install, the backup camera required a little bit on modification to the camper.
I did not like the monitor install options so did some simple modifications to the stand so I could use ram-mounts.
Final setup is amazing
Pretty good. Easy to install. Directions could be better, however. One major annoyance is neither of the two mounting stations do a good job of holding the display.
Super easy installation on a camper that already had the underlying Furrion power supply wire. Great quality picture and audio. Highly recommend this for the price!
Since my travel trailer came pre-wired for this, installation was a breeze. Plugged in 7” monitor to my dash and camera paired right away. But, since then, it had not worked. After doing some research I found out that my headlights on my 2019 Ford F-150 must be set to on and not automatic in order to make Bluetooth connection. Ever since that it has worked flawlessly. Really makes backing into campsites easier. I would recommend that this be your first upgrade.
I want to love this, but frankly I have consistent video dropout and lag issues towing a 26-foot GD Imagine trailer in various weather conditions. I tried fully disconnecting and resetting, repositioning antennas, and praying to the antenna gods, but it's only good for about two-thirds of the time. I think "YES, finally!" and then it starts dropping out again, making me insane. Also, as far as I can tell, there is no real good antenna upgrade for this. I suspect if you have a shorter trailer, or some fancy way to beef up the signal you'll do better.
The video screen is just the right size for the dash and the signal between the back end of my 29' trailer and my pick-up is excellent. This is a great improvement over the unit I bought just five years before. I can't imagine pulling my trailer anywhere without this device.
Camera works as advertised. Wired camera into running lights 5th wheel. Took about 45 min to layout, drill, pull wire, caulk, and mount.
I did install 3mm Diameter Snap on Ferrite Core Bead Choke Ring Cord RFI EMI Noise Suppressor Filter for USB / Audio / Video Cable Power Cord on both camera and receiver.
Receiver took about 20 min to install. I routed wires nicely, add choke rings.
I have 4 bars running 60 mph. Great purchase and very pleased.
The installation was fairly easy. The trailer came prepped for the rear camera so, it was attached and linked. The side cameras involved a little work due to being close to the pass-through doors. They went on with a bit of cutting of the trailer skin.
The problem is the right side trailer camera is reading that it's the left side and visa versa for the right. They are both installed correctly, facing back and the pairing button on the bottom.
Also when the two side cameras paired they caused the rear camera to unpair. I re-paired the rear and now the right side ( left camera ) is unpaired.
I've emailed Furrion for answers to my situation.
Have not been out on the road yet but the install was easy even for a novice like me. My reflection 5th wheel was prewired so it was a plug and play for the rear camera. For the side cameras I used the two screws from the previous light. I put both screws in the top holes, (one behind the camera) as that seemed to secure it better then bothe screws not behind the camera. Instructions were a bit limited(or I didn't read them) on the side camera sync but I pressed enough buttons to figure it out. Picture looks great. Do watch for obstructions such as awning supports which will limit view. I also used silicone to keep the water out.
Very easy to install and functional. Like all products these days, the instructions could use a better tech writer, but there isn't much to this plug-n-play camera. etrailer remaons my 'go-to' vendor for nearly all my camper needs - precise inventory, easy to use website, fast delivery.
After one year of use with the Furrion Camera I am completely convinced it is the best add on we have put on our camper. It is really useful driving down the road. Also, good for seeing how close you are to an object when backing in.
etrailer is a great resource. This camera was a breeze to install on my Grand Design which was pre wired for this product. Camera includes sound which is a value add. One note, the camera wiring from Grand Design to the camera mount is only hot when the tow vehicle is connected AND the running or headlamps are on.
Installed on GD Imagine '22 2600RB and '15 Chevy 1500 Silverado double cab LTZ. Took about 15 min to install with pre-wired prep kit on RV. Got 5" monitor to keep from being too big on dash/windshield. Monitor is on windshield with suction mount right below rear view mirror and works great even with antenna folded down, very easy to pop off and put in console when not in use. You can also just rest monitor in the console next to power plugs, etc. Did not get the side cameras due to other reviews that they aren't really necessary, definitely agree not needed. The rear view however is a must-have if backing anywhere without a spotter. I can back out of my neighborhood driveway with somewhat limited sight and see everything in both directions Based on many internet reviews of other camera systems, glad I went with this: it was super easy to install and provides the basic purpose of backing up safely. I have no need to record or watch it continuously while driving, although it seems to work just fine while driving and not cut in/out as other reviewers have described after a couple hour round trip. Maybe higher definition systems out there with better features, but this unit has great quality and vision is very acceptable for the purpose it was designed, to assist in backing up. Simple, easy install, great value, just works!
My trailer was prewired for the Furrion camera so it was truly a plug and play install. Haven’t used it yet but everything works as it should.
I bought this camera system to use on our new travel trailer to help with traveling down the roads, in heavy traffic and for backing trailer in.
It was extremely easy to install because all the hookups we already on the trailer. We take the screen out of truck when not using it. It is very clear and does not loose connection to camera that is 45 feet to back of our trailer.
I would definitely recommend this product.
This camera system is a must-have!
I had it installed for me so I can't speak as to ease of install, but they didn't mention any issues.
I have never had an issue with connectivity. My trailer is 21' and there is about 33 feet from the monitor in the truck to the camera on the back. Nighttime view is great (see picture.)
I travel solo and it lets me back up without a spotter and without having to GOAL every foot and a half to see where I am. Knowing where traffic is around me on the road is a a huge safety benefit. It helped me avoid an accident on the freeway last summer. I had just passed a slow moving vehicle and was signaling to go back into the right lane when a low sports car decided to pass that vehicle as well without waiting for me to get back over. It darted around it and went between it and my trailer, cutting them off and passing me on the right. He was completely hidden in all mirrors and windows due to being so low and in my blind spots, but I spotted his movement in the camera and stayed in my lane until he flew past. Another couple seconds and I wouldn't have been able to correct back. If it wasn't for the camera, I believe there would have been an accident.
The hardest thing to get used to is the reverse view. I wish CW had done the step to change mirroring the view. When I see a car on the right in the monitor, I have to remember they are really on the left of my rig. Apparently there is a way to flip this to normal view but I haven't been able to do it yet.
The monitor plugs into the cigarette lighter in the cab of the truck and I purchased a vehicle-specific mount for it from [online store]. I put an XL Scosche magnet on the back of the monitor.And a Scosche magnetic holder on the mount. It holds well through all seasons and is easy to take off when not in use.
I would definitely purchase this again and have recommended it to others.
My travel trailer came rewired for a furrion camera so this was the logical choice. Camera arrived well and timely. Installation was easy and overall picture quality is good.
We received our Furrion Observation Camera, FOS43TASF, quickly as advertised. Our camera arrived with no damage. Installation was fast and easy on our 2018, Grand Design, Imagine, 2600RB, plug and play with the existing mount. It took maybe 20 - 30 minutes at the most to install, pair and make minor adjustments. The camera and viewer paired immediately when power was turned on. The camera turned on when the trailer parking lights were turned on. Positioned the camera so the spare tire could be seen on the observation screen to give a point of reference to the back of the camper. Received a strong signal on the pairing. We haven't driven the camper on the road yet to give a review on the workings of the the unit but, don't expect any problems. Should be a good safety feature to know what is behind us when towing. Very happy with our purchase and would recommend this product. This product from etrailer was the least expensive price I could find while researching price points. Thank you etrailer.
We purchased the Furrion FOS43TASF to use as an observation camera while towing our new 2018 26' Jayco Jay Flight travel trailer. Our Jayco came equipped with a pre-wired mount for the Furrion camera. The pre-wired black female cord for the camera was present but someone at the factory forgot to wire it to power, so when I plugged in the camera, there was no juice... I removed the center clearance light on the back of the trailer, used the supplied power cord and to feed in/splice in from the clearance light. Installation only took about 15 minutes. We already made our first trip this season and the camera worked wonderful. Great picture, no delays, very happy being able to see what's in the back and coming along the sides. We didn't use the monitor mount supplied with the Furrion, instead we used a vent phone mount I had for my phone that worked perfectly. This is our second and the best observation camera for towing a trailer we've experienced. The first one was another brand on different travel trailer we just sold. Our experience with that camera was poor picture quality, delays and blackouts. We definitely would recommend the Furrion FOS43TASF.
