Furrion Back-up Camera
I'm considering getting a back-up camera for my 41 foot long 5er. It's a Montana High Country and came "pre wired" for the Furrion Back-up Camera. I know there are other brands out there, but since...

First: Did you install the camera system yourself and if you did was it more work than you expected. In other words, should you have hired someone else to do it?
Second: What model did you get and why?
Third: Did it meet your expectations or do you have regrets and wish you would have selected a different or upgraded model or different brand altogether?
Fourth: Did it hold up over time? It's technology? Did it putter out eventually, or after time, still working strong?
Input appreciated.
To answer your questions:
First: We installed ourselves and I would say it took less than 30 minutes to do. No, we did not need to hire someone else to do it.
Second: Our trailer did not come pre-wired and it did not have the "sharkfin" apparatus installed. We chose the Furrion FOS05TASR Rear Marker Light camera with a 5-inch monitor. Why? We determined that to install a rear marker light camera meant drilling fewer holes into the wall of the trailer which we did not want to do. The 5-inch monitor seems about just right for size; can see the picture, but it's not so big that we wouldn't know where to put it.
Third: We haven't had it very long; have used it on two trips now and it is working as expected. Once in awhile it momentarily loses signal, but nothing major. I don't do the driving, but I believe it has been a big help to be able to see what's going on behind us.
Fourth: I guess I can't answer that question yet because we just got it. :)
