Help with new wireless camera system

Hi all,
I have a 2014 Coachmen Mirada 35DL Motor Home that came equipped with a Furion camera system (rearview plus side cameras). this system is hardwired (not wireless).
I did not like the system for several reasons and purchased Haloview's RD7 wireless backup camera with left and right wireless side cameras and installed them. Everything installed fine and it all works fine. I have all three cameras on the LCD video screen at the same time (rear, left and right side). All cameras show full signal.
However, when I turn on the vehicle right turn signal, the right side wireless camera goes to "no signal". Other cameras are not affected. When I turn on the left turn signal, the left side wireless camera goes to "no signal". Other cameras are not affected. 
I have completely disconnected the power to the Furion wired system, but this still keeps happening. I don't understand thy the respective left and ride wireless cameras go to "no signal" when I engage the vehicle turn signal. This is unacceptable since I need to be able to see the side camera image when the turn signal is on.
I am NOT using the trigger wire function for the RD7 unit. I am simply supplying power straight from 12v to the RD7 unit.
Any help  or assistance anyone can provide would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you
Class A

    Where did you get the supply power to both side Camera's? Did you use the original Furrion wiring for those Camera's? Did you run NEW 12 volt and Ground wires to the side Wireless Camera's? Doug

    Sorry to not get back earlier... kept getting message that forum was under maintenance.
    Anyway... I feel like an idiot! Turns out that I did not realize that my two front left and right marker lights blinked when the respective turn signals were on. So power to the new cameras was also "blinking", thus the cameras didn't have power long enough to provide a signal to the receiver.
    I wound up tapping power into the new camera from the old Furion cameras, and now everything is working fine.
    Thanks for replying and helping me out with this.

    Maybe that's the key here; Obviously it's a wiring issue. So that, then, begs the question. Was the system wired correctly? Can you wire the system without providing power individually to each camera? Perhaps the OP skipped or modified a step. :h ....Dennis


    That's why I asked those questions in my first post. Doug

    Per the Instructions, IF YOU DO NOT USE THE TRIGGER HARNESS(connecting the trigger wires) THE TURN SIGNALS SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE OPERATION.

    Well then they should be working, right???? :B


    That is why I asked the OP those questions. He has not responded. I HAVE installed the Furrion 3 Camera RF systems on both Trailers and Motorhomes and at no time did the original turn signal trigger system on the original motorhome system affect the operation, because I made sure the side Camera's had there own 12 volt supply.

    Page 7 shows how it should be wired. Have you tried hitting the SEL button.

    As rgatijnet1 stated it needs power from the correct circuit to work.

    If you do not get 12 volt from the turn signal switch to the cameras, they will not show an image. Each camera must be wired to the turn signal circuit. The monitor must know when to switch from rear view to each side view.
