Furrion Camera System - backup camera

Just got a new Fifth wheel that is prepped for the Furrion Camera system (rear and sides, as well as a module in the trailer). Anyone have experience with this camera system? It’s really expensive for just a few camera’s, so wondering if its worth the price tag or not. Is the 5” screen big enough or would you recommend the 7”?

I’m going to be double-towing a small ATV trailer behind by fifth wheel it so want to have a camera monitoring the trailer for me while I’m driving. If you have any recommendations for other systems that aren’t as expensive please throw them my way.

Thanks!

    Mine was prepped for a rear Furrion. I bought one with the 5" and it works good for me.

    I turn my lights on when traveling so it is on all the time.

    I strap the monitor to my rear view mirror so it's just natural to glance up and check behind me....

    How do you strap it to the mirror?

    To the OP, I got our camera system off of Amazon. It was far cheaper than Furion, and I've been happy with it so far.

    What camera/system did you get off Amazon?
