For driving, I wanted a camera that would remain on full time (backup cams donโ€™t do this), so I got a Voyager from here Rvcams.com

I actually have the Furrion Vision S 5" Markerlight Camera and I've had no problems with it in 2 yrs. I did get mine for a discount due to issues when the TC was first purchased. Since it's connected to the running lights it made for an easy install and I can have the camera on ALL the time.

I bought an inexpensive "Amtifo" camera/monitor from Amazon; wired the camera from that set into the back of our TT, but then added a second camera to the back of our popup truck camper. It paired right up with the monitor, and when wired to the running lights, gave us a nice clear color view of what was going on behind us.


Thanks for the review, I went ahead and grabbed one of these for $139, figure its cheap enough that if it doesn't work I am not out a ton of money. The TC is in winter storage but might just install it this weekend to test it out. The old voyager one never did work right and was a pain with the cord.

I have been running a Rear View Safety RVS-770613 wired system on my truck/camper for 5 years. Other than having to replace the 12v Plug in male plug last year it has been flawless.

They also make wireless systems.

Gone through a couple wired to running lights like Flyboy. Some have worked some needed to be returned. Current one has good range through TT and has lasted two years so far.

oh thats not cheep haha..

The cheap ones would not make it from the back of the 30-foot TT to the front of the truck. And one of the cheap ones I tried kept failing due to water intrusion into the camera.

Does your current truck have a back up camera in the tailgate.
