Mixing wireless camera systems

I currently have a Furion backup camera and the 4.3 inch monitor on my TT. I'm happy with it as a backup camera, but the short range makes it useless for rear view while on the road. I'm considering upgrading to a three camera Furion 7" system to get the side view but possibly also putting in the Haloview RD10 Rear View Mirror/Dashcam to get both the rear view look as well as a dashcam. Both systems operate at 2.4 ghz. If the Furion system would give me the rear view that I'm looking for while driving I'd stop there and just get a front facing dash cam (had a near miss recently when someone decided to stop half in the lane on I275 in St Petersburg - with trucks passing I stood on the brakes, almost lost control, and ended up missing the stopped car by maybe 6 inches). Has anyone tried something like this? I'm not wedded to Furion but I'm not finding a system that does everything I'm looking for, especially at a reasonable price point. I spent $20k on the TT, so I don't want to go crazy on this, but after the near miss I want more visibility for lane changes on the road. Thanks!

Thanks, Doug! My TT is only 26' so the existing Furion camera has been ok. My concern is trying to get a better rear view without sacrificing the backup view which has worked well for me.

Furrion has had trouble with certain RV's (usually 5th wheels) of having communication issues from the cab of the truck to the rear of the Trailer. They have an optional longer antenna for the Camera which may help. It is 4.5 inches long. If your camera antenna is shorter than that, I would buy this antenna and try it. Doug
