Outrun your rear camera?
So, DW and I went to the Midwest RV Show in Kansas City yesterday and stopped by a booth run by one of the local vehicle mod shops. They said they could definitely install a new Titan fuel tank in my...

It has more to do with ground plane and polarization. The antenna's used on RV cameras do not develop a ground plane and therefore need to rely on external sources. In this situation the ground plane is variable and unpredictable while in motion which effects radiated signal strength greatly. Marine and aircraft antennas have their ground planes designed into the them and therefore the RF radiation is more constant.
Neal, that is the best explanation I have read so far. I have a Voyager digital wireless camera and it looses signal randomly while traveling and is rock solid when backing. The signal strength is 4 bars while backing or stationary, but goes to as low a 1 bar while traveling at highway speeds. I am not sure what is causing the signal loss but you may have hit the nail on the head. Although I also wonder about multipath signal attention from reflections from environmental sources as well. However, I ruled that out because the same signal loss happens in the desert as well.
