Is this with truck in motion at 60mph? I would be about 48' from camera to dash of truck anyone with similar length have experience with this setup?

Don't really care about using it as a backup camera so much, mostly interested in keeping an eye on MotorCycles and MC Trailer while towing.

I can do 100 feet from the transmitter to the receiver with no issue, probably farther.

I have had the Furrion observation system now for 3 years and this year, actually the last trip a few weeks back I noticed a definite drop in video quality. Its been great up until now. I have not had time to pull the camera and look into it but I know its not dirt as I pulled over and cleaned it with a lens wipe. Its almost like either the lens is now scratched somehow, or moisture has gotten inside the camera. Ill post back once I figure it out.

You can buy the cam separate from Amazon or Flea Bay. The cam is generic. I think your lens is at issue. The cam itself is hermetically sealed.

I like our Furrion as well. My tt wasn’t pre wired but when we bought the trailer, the dealer installed it with no installation fee and it was the same price as on Amazon.

I had a black and white system on my 07 Holiday Rambler motor home. While the side cameras were nice to have, it did not have range markers, and was kind of finicky.

The Furrion has good color and being wireless, I was concerned about distance. As it turns out, I have 4 out of 4 bars showing signal strength.

Sound does not do anything for me. My lovely wife, Lori provides the needed assistance of back-up director and gives good instructions, but, there is something to be said for being able to see for yourself.

That was an option when we ordered our North Point in Janaury. We love it.

Dan. Tied to the running lights. Real easy to do. I am no electrician. I can change out a wall plug, and that's about it. The instruction book was well laid out. Picture is great! I installed it 5 inches below the running lights. Instructions say minimum of 2 inches.

Range marker are really handy. After install, I measured from the back of the trailer to object directly behind the trailer, my fence. Seven feet away. On the range markers on the monitor, it was the last red lines, before yellow, so, I will always know how much distance I have from the trailer to any objects. Especially handy when backing the trailer onto the RV pad along the house and the chain link fence on the other side.

I have it on my Truck camper on the back and it's a nice unit. Very clear, color is good to excellent and the optics (image)is excellent too.

The downsides are 3. One is up front cost and the second is viewable screen size and the 3rd is the suction cup mount for the view screen. It allows the screen to wobble and it breaks easily and no replacement is available from Furrion. I broke mine almost immediately (It's very flimsy) and had to cabbage up a new mount, using their screen carrier, from a shower door suction hanger. Actually, my mount is much sturdier than theirs.

Mine was a Christmas gift from my wife, last Christmas.

Overall, a good value but up front cost is pretty high all the same.

Mine has fantastic range. I can have the TC off the truck, have the truck parked 100 feet away from the TC with the unit(s) on and the receiver picks up the signal and I have an excellent picture.

I'm happy (other than the flimsy mount and no replacement parts).
