Furrion Observation Camera System

Hey gang, Wasn't really sure where to put this so this might be a good start.

Anyway, I am looking to get the Furrion high speed observation camera system for my new Coachmen. Now this unit is not pre-wired like some other brands are. I went to my local dealer and they have one that retails at almost 400 bucks, plus installation on top of that. However, I found the same set-up for $285 on amazon and there is a $16 dollar coupon I can use also. And since we are Prime members, shipping is free. So I call the dealer and see if they will price match. They tell me "Nope".

So how difficult is this to install as a DIY? And as you might imagine, I'm not too crazy about the idea of drilling a hole in our brand new TT. The DW says pay the difference to the dealer and have them do it. I just hate the thought of losing the savings.


BTW, I did search this forum for posts about Furrion and found lots of them. But they seem to be from folks who have the pre-wired RVs.

Not hard at all.
Use one of the clearance lights wiring to get power (lights will need to be on) that's what Furrion does. All this is assuming the Amazon system is wireless.
