Fantastic video with a simple solution. Ordered both through your links, thank you!
Glad it helped!
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.
I have heard the Haloviews are good products. Thanks for the information
expecting your test results❤
Finally. This problem was driving me nuts. Thank you.
Happy to hear it helped
I’m surprised there are not more people watching this.This is so awesome!!
Thanks. Its a great extra feature to have. Just camping in state parks you would be amazed at the wildlife that walks around near the camper at night and this allows me to watch then snoop for food.
@@travelhick Can this camera be used for the backup camera prep in back of the Rockwood
Thank you for this, just what I needed!!!
I just slip a 3amp fuse across the top two blades of the camper harness and you get the same result, thats all that adapter does but with a switch.
Wonderful solution ❤ Thank you so very very much!
Correct that works as well.
This video is super nice and helpful
Glad to hear you enjoyed it
I'm so glad my Alliance trailer came with a separate wiring for the camera system all I have to do is flip a switch 👍
I don't have to Anoiy Everyone around me by having my trailer lighting up half the park 🤣
I just bought a minilite yesterday and bought the vision s rear cam and the mechanic did this same thing by putting a flat fuse in the 7 pin connector and lights lit up camera on etc.
Yes that is the same concept behind the switch. Only that the switch keeps the connection dry and is easier to use.
@@travelhick Cool, that makes sense👍
Thank you very informative.
What actually powers the driving marker lights? Does it draw from your on-board batteries?
@@randyXLT on board batteries
Yay! I was just wondering if they made these kind of power adapters! Love this option for providing additional security around my trailer!
Would you please add the product links in the comments for your products. I already have the camera , but I had a hard time seeing the description name/product details for both of the adapter cords (at the end of the video, the photos are cut off a bit!). Thanks for sharing!
Hello, glad you enjoyed the video. I have added the links in the description.
Out of curiosity, did you try to find a direct dc adapter to plug in the monitor to an outlet before settling on the adapter you used?
No, I did not try another adapter prior.
how does this switch get power? I would think it has to be hard wired to the camper battery, but I don't see how. Thanks
@@jeffreymueller2623 when plugged into cord it closes circuit so gets power from camper batteries
Do you think there is any way to use an RV camera in a house? I was just thinking this cuz I only use the RV 2 months of the year and I wouldn't mind a basic security camera at home. Seems like it might be too tricky though.
Might be too much work installing and uninstalling cams from rv. Plus would need 12vt adapter in house. Home camera system using wifi are very reasonably priced now and would be mucho less work and cost then retro fitting a 12vt system in a residence.
How to view a furrion camera in your RV at tri view in thr monitor,thanks
The Haloview camera system is far superior. The monitor has an SD slot so you can record as well.
Where did you find the adapter for the running lights
It was on amazon. I have a link in the description. Very basic item but works as needed and have never had a problem with it.
What is the part number for the 7 prong power adapter that’s what I need
Here is the amazon info:

How you get rid of the lag.
I do not have a lag with mine but when using as a monitor I have the screen in the bedroom which is just below the camera outside.
Is there a way to use this system to observe while driving?
Yes that is the original purpose for it. The screen just plugs into the normal 12v socket in your truck. I use mine mostly just for driving and backing up. This was just a way to use it as a security monitor while camping since you can set it to only come on when it catches motion on back or side cameras. Mine caches raccoons walking around often while at state parks. Had one walk up the steps and sit at door like it was waiting for food. Lol
We don’t have an inverter. If it’s plugged into a 12 volt outlet, why would the inverter need to be on?
If you can plug direct into a 12vt socket then an inverter is not needed. My camper does not have a 12vt plug so I have to use a converter DC to AC to power the camera inside
So the seven pin connector adapter will work the same if I were to be connected to regular power?
Yes the adapter basically connects the correct dc wires from your battery to allow the switch to turn on or off the running lights. Works the same connected or not connected to shore power (normal electricity). The shore power only charges the batteries as well as running the AC power circuits in the camper. Just keep in mind that the adapter when on means your running lights are on all night but as you know those are not super bright and unless you are very close to a fellow camper the lights should not bother anyone
But it doesn't record the video
No. The model of furrion that I have does not record but I believe there are other rv cameras that do record. But to any inside the camper is the same principle of having it connected to 12vt inside
FURRION IS CRAP
