Is there an online owners manual for the 2015 somewhere?

YES! At your convenience, please download the Forest River App on your phone and scroll to "2015 Travel Trailers". Or, please click
HERE. This is the owner manual supplying information to all owners of Forest River travel trailers.

What would you do differently? Some systems include multiple cameras. Once parked can the monitor be moved to the rv and the cameras used as security cameras?...

Most people with Surveyors install the Furrion system as the latest Surveyors are prewired for them. I personally have not done this nor do I know how well it works. From the research I've done on this fine, friendly enthusiast forum is that the running or reverse lights have to be turned on in order to initiate camera functions. Once installed and working, it might be possible to to add switch inside the trailer off of a 12v lead to initiate camera function while the trailer is hooked up to shore power.

That rubber puck with a top and bottom groove is, in fact, an outdoor TV mount. You might look to see on the back of your interior TV if it's mounted to the same style puck. If not, I think this is a dealer only item as I have read on this very informational forum that they do not sell at regular TV retailers.

Honestly, an initial question in a thread does not dictate that a bunch of responses will be given within 72 hours of posting...or at all.
The lack of response happens for 2 reasons...please let me explain.
1. This thread was created on a Friday in August. For those, like me, that work a regular M-F job, Friday nights in the summer time are spent on the road getting to our camping destination. After setting up the trailer, I spend my weekend fishing, playing catch with my kids and hanging out with my also overworked wife. I don't always have time to instantaneously respond to trailer related questions on the internet...half the time I don't even have internet service.
2. Specific questions need specific answers. I did the best I could above; however, there is a vast lack of knowledge on some subjects and people do not want to share what they don't know. Would a vague "Just Google it" answer be worthy of posting as an answer to the original questions or could it frustrate the original poster? People can't chime in on what they don't know about.
Mphill9929 I do want to apologize for my untimely response to your questions. I hope that my answers were enough information to help you in your quest for knowledge regarding your trailer. Although there are some very snarky people and responses on this forum, they are few and far between. Generally, the folks here share common interests of their RV's, camping, exploring new territories and spending time with their families.
Please stick around so that we can continue to assist you.
