Back up/rear viewing system?

I see that Forest River recomends a Furrion system for my 2019 22RR? Anyone here using that system? I saw in some reviews they're were some problems on an earlier system but they had been corrected on a newer version? I'd like to get a system over the winter to be ready to go come Spring!

My trailer was pre-wired for the Furrion. So, I went ahead and got one. I have been very happy with the operation and clarity. I went with the observation model.
One note, if your trailer is pre-wired for it, the running lights must be on to get power

We have a 27rr.
The furion system was ok, but seemed to loose connection from time to time.
I upgraded the antenna on the rear to a larger type, and a magnetic type antenna for the truck.
Helped out a lot!!

FYI, Forest river electronics has the Furion 4.3 observation system on special for $250.00, that is the best deal I've seen by far, just ordered one myself today

I just ordered one of these because I have the $250 camera referenced above. My mounting bracket and wiring was different on the camper with the camera prep. This still makes it a great deal.

Don't feel compelled to buy the Furrion they pushed. Despite it being a good system, the Haloview with a 7" monitor can be had for the same price as the 4.3" screen Furrion. An adaptor bracket/cord for the camera is available for the Furrion wiring for 10 bucks. So far very happy with the Haloview, plus it has a built in DVR.

I've looked on haloview's website and see the mounting adapter but which adapter cord do I need for the prewired furrion cable? Ya have a link by any chance? Thanks for your help.

For the MC7108 (7 inch monitor, one wireless cam), you will need this bracket they sell https://www.haloview.com/haloview-ba...wired-rvs.html It comes with the adaptor to connect the cam to the Furrion wiring. The bracket will replace the shark fin bracket you have.
