- Haven't all we towable-RV owners struggled with backing our rigs into spaces at one time or another? Being able to see everything you need to see from the driver's seat with a large trailer behind you is always a challenge, and having electronic "eyes" on the rear of your rig can certainly benefit you. In this video, we'll install one such product - the Furrion Vision S Vehicle Observation System. Take a look and see for yourself just how easy this process is!

Thank you for the in-depth info about Furrion S Anti-divorce Backup Camera. lol
Ooo! Yeah! I can see the tag-lines in Furrion's new ad campaign - "Divorce lawyers everywhere are advising their clients to get this camera!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
The best part of this video was I didn't have to lift a finger for a change. Can't wait to see you guys on the road again, stay safe.
Did ya dig that fancy-schmancy multi-cam editing I did on this one? Somebody sorta inspired me to try it... 😜
From the moment I saw you struggle with opening the box, I knew this was a video that would be helpful. It was...thank you.
Hmmm... I think that's a compliment... 😜 If my doofy-ness can help somebody learn something, then I'm all too glad to share! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for clarifying the NO SIGNAL being connected to running lights! Life saver!! I couldn’t figure that out!!!
Glad to help!! It makes screwing up easier to take if we find out somebody gets something out of it!
I'm happy for you that a big problem has been solved. Happy camping and backing up!
Is backing-up EVER really "happy...?" 🙄
Watched a lot of these Furrion install videos and mine is being delivered tomorrow and I finally realized I HAVE A MAGNETIC SCREWDRIVER ! Went and found it and am now ready to install mine.
Well, then - you, sir, seem to be much, MUCH better prepared for this project that I was! 😉 Thanks for checking out the video of my pitiful attempt!
How did install go?
We just installed our Furion. Thank you for the video. One thing that we would like to add is make sure you push hard to connect the camera to the wire until you hear or feel it click.
I may have to take your word on that one. Keeping in mind that my installation was three years ago, I don't remember any tactile feedback when I made that connection, but I guess it's logical that there would've been some sensation to let me know it was a solid connection. I'm real glad your installation went as it should! Thanks for watching our vid!
Yup, the other half got all pissed off before watching your video🤣 thank you Sir👊❤
Glad we could help! If we can help save just ONE marriage, then our UA-cam work here will have served a purpose more noble than just showing off campgrounds! 😁 Thanks for watching!
@@LiveNLearnRV you have a new subscriber here😎👍
@@richperrimoore4130 Hooray!!! 😃 Welcome aboard!
Jessie will be much happier. "Happy Wife, Happy Life" LOL Great video!
THAT was the idea!!! 👍🏻I'm gettin' too old to do any more wife-changing! 😆
@@LiveNLearnRV Yeah, no point in another one trying to train you :) All kidding aside keep up the great work. Hope to run into you guys someday. Safe Travels!
I bought the same camera system and it came in yesterday. Your video was a big help since my old eyes had a hard time reading the micro print installation manual.
Terrific!! I'm glad you found it useful! That sorta feedback keeps me from thinking I'm just wasting my time doing these things! Thanks for subbing, too!! Glad you're on board with us!
👍🏻 nice. Trailer we just bought is the same set up. Thanks
You're welcome! Glad to help!
Good one here!! Really neat the way you used multiple cameras during the process - the extra viewing angles helped!
Hey, thanks for checking it out! Yeah, I used multiple cameras for the first time on this one. Good to know somebody liked it!
nice vid! we love ours. It was comical when wife and I installed it (no ladder ) literally had her on my shoulders installing. All good tho. 👍🏼
Ooo!! The money I'd pay to have seen THAT on video!! 🤣 Thanks for watching ours!
Nice job! It is simple with the pre-wire. We have been enjoying ours. Have fun!
Thanks! If it helps prevent any future "domestic violence," it'll be money well-spent!
Great video! Glad you showed how to hook that camera up. That’s the first time I saw a video of installing a camera on a an Rv. Thank you so much for having this video. Stay safe.
You're very welcome, and thank YOU for watching! We're glad to be of service! 😊
Another awesome video my friend thanks for joining our family
Hey, thanks for taking a look! We're glad you liked it!
Live 'n' Learn RV hey be really cool if you joined our family too so we can stay connected and hopefully become friends and support each other’s channel along our adventures together
Great job Smokey! Can't wait to see it in action!
Thanky! I may have to do a separate video for that - we didn't get any real chance to record it actually in action on our first trip with it. We'll figure out some way to show it.
Glad it was an easy process for you. Now that you have been using it. What are your pros and cons?
Too soon too tell. We've only been on one trip since the installation, and I don't think that experience was very telling of how it'll play out. However, I will say that I'm already wondering if I should've gotten one of the larger monitors...
@@LiveNLearnRV Good to know. Thanks
well that was an easy install ,, thanks for the Great video
Glad we could help!
Well done! Definitely get the bean bag dash mount. I've always had the windshield mount fall off at the worst possible moments. Look forward to the next video and how it works out.
Thanky, thanky!! Beanbag mount obtained! I'm already wondering if I might should've gone with one of the larger monitors, though. Damn failing eyes...
Awesome! Been thinking bout picking one up, look forward to seeing it in action.
Glad to be of service! Thanks for taking a look!
I did a video on the haloview but it’s not out yet. Also added side cameras... talk about a difference.
Neato! I'll be looking forward to seeing that one! We've only had one use-case with the Vision S so far, and it wasn't exactly a scenario where it made much difference, so I'm still waiting to see the benefit.
We just witnessed a truck and trailer backing up and hitting a car. So I told my wife there's another reason to get one of these.
Dang straight!!!
Darn I wish you did the side lights too
Ran out of money! What can I say…? 😞
@@LiveNLearnRV haha. It happens
Use the new screws on the camera that come with kit, they are longer.
Duly noted!
Easy install with the pre-wire.
Dang straight! Like I said in the clip, this was more of a "plug-in video" than an "installation video." Piece o' cake!
Plug and play right? Ours didn’t play. Checked it out and it had melted the wires in camper and camera. Almost immediately.
Congratulations on 300 🍾🎊. # Roamingwithrover
Thank you!! We owe mountains of gratitude to folks just like you!! ❤
So...dumb question...you said that it needs the running lights on to power the camera, I assume that turning the headlights on powers it also?
Correct. I believe pretty much all vehicles anymore have the headlight controls arranged in such a manner that (forgive my non-mechanic's verbiage here) the first "click" turns on your running lights. That first "click" is all that's required to send power through your 7-pin umbilical back to the trailer, and thus the camera, too. Of course, then your second "click" would turn on your headlamps.
Great video. What made you choose this brand over some of the others?
Thanks! I went Furrion because our rig was pre-wired specifically for the Furrion connection. I have no ability to do any sort of re-wiring whatsoever.
Great idea! Much cheaper than a divorce.
Dang straight, Skippy! LegalZoom doesn't help with RV maintenance, either.
Our 2021 Coachmen Clipper came with the same preinstalled set up...at least we think so. The Furrion cover plate is missing, but it looks exactly the same. I don’t believe the four screws you removed to remove the cover plate are still attached to the housing. I’ll have to climb up there and check. Does the system out of the box come with the four screws to attach the camera? Thanks!
In all honesty, I don't remember if the package from Furrion had screws in it, but I do remember that I used the Rockwood screws that were already in the mount. If I had to guess, I'd say that Furrion did NOT provide screws, as they'd assume you'd recycle the trailer's screws, but that's an assumption, and you know what they say about assumptions... 🤷🏼♂️
@@LiveNLearnRV Thanks my friend!
The system as it comes in the box includes the mount, and yes, it does have the four screws for attaching the camera to the mount. Many people won't need them, because so many rigs nowadays come with the pre-installed mount and dummy plate. I needed the whole assembly, because our trailer came with a different version of pre-wire and mount. I had to drill new mounting holes for the Furrion mount, and just used screws to fill the exposed holes I couldn't use that were left over from the unused pre-mount. I cut off the pre-wired connector on the trailer (which was different from Furrion's) and spliced in the one provided in the Furrion kit.
For the side cameras, I had to buy mounting screws.
Did you like the 4.3 size monitor?
It's okay, but in hindsight (and if I'd had more money to spend), I believe I'd have been better-served with the 5-inch monitor.
Can the camera pivot up or down to change the angle of view?
Yes, it does have a slight amount of up-and-down variance. I had to tweak that angle after the folks at Camping World transferred the camera from the camper in this video to our new one.
Prewired....dang.
Yup! Makes things easy-peezy!!
What year RV?
The rig we had in this particular video was a 2019, but we've transferred the camera to our new 2020 model since then.
You left out the details of what type of wire you threw to the side that you didnt use.
No, we mentioned it two different times - that's the power connector for the camera if your camper is NOT pre-wired for it.
Hey thanks for the video! I'm just now looking into getting one of these and was wondering if you feel the 4.3inch is big enough? Or should I buy the bigger one??
Hey! You're welcome for the video! 😉 The EMPHATIC answer to your question is NO!!!! I wish on all the stars that I'd bought as big a display as Furrion makes! Don't get me wrong - the 4.3" display is better than not having a backup camera at all, but my 50-something year-old eyes would get a lot more out of it with a larger display... 😞
@@LiveNLearnRV Yeah that makes sense! Thanks for the response! Can you leave this camera on while you are driving to see behind you? That's what I need it for!
@@kccreations5945 "Yes" on that one. As long as you have your tow vehicle's running lights powered on, then the camera has power. I find the camera more useful as a "rearview mirror" than I do as a backup aid, anyway, believe it or not.
@@LiveNLearnRV Well that's the goal for me hopefully! I will be using it on a truck camper! So I just need to be able to see behind me lol
