That worked! Just 2 tips:
1. as been said, don't forget to order the $12 adapter, it's not included for some reason. (Hey, Haloview, if this is marketed as a furrion replacement, please include the adapter)
2. it's easier to attach the adapter with the camera mount first, on the ground, then screw the whole thing to the trailer. those nuts are small and the space is tight.
Good luck!
I have the same camera system and Furrion prewire. I used the rubber gasket from the Furrion mount as a backing for mounting this camera and ran the wire right through the middle hole I created.. It provided a more weatherproof seal for the large wire holes and I was able to silicone the top of it to seal it.
Exactly what I was thinking. Mine is on order and will do this.
One of the things I like about the new 2020 Gm Hd's is they have trailer camera's (although hardwired) that work with their display. They also offer TPMS 4 pack for your trailer tires for like $50. No need for all the extra monitors.
I would zip tied the cable instead of wrapping also you can use shrink wrap over the connection
You're timing is EXCELLENT! I am days away from purchasing a camera system that nearly mirrors this configuration. (Amazon cart has the Fookoo wired system waiting for me to "buy now")
Thanks for posting the review, even if the system was free.)
to Haloviews credit they simply sent it out and asked for a review in return. Never asked me to mention anything in particular or even not to post if it wasn't favorable. It seems like they're confident in their product. I'll give an update in a year or so!
@@WanderingWeekends I love that! I question many of the reviews I see as being potentially fake. Knowing the company is willing to send their products to users such as yourself gives me product confidence. Again, thanks for the review AND channel full of helpful videos. You (and your family) are appreciated!
We enjoy getting the word out! You are correct to question reviews... many are fake. I'm not sure Haloview practices this or not but I can say the product they sent me was pretty good. Time will tell on durability but after 100 miles we're still good to go!
Great job Cory!
I've done cleaner installs... but thank you!
Howdy Cory, good installation video. I have the Furrion camera system and went through the same installation process that you did as well with one exception. On my 2016 2600RB the DC power for the camera is powered on when the battery disconnect switch is on. While this is good for most of the time when you boon dock it will be a little drain on the trailer battery. I removed the center marker light immediately above the camera mount and tapped the the positive lead for the marker light and brought it down to power the camera. So my camera is powered on when I have my truck headlights on. I ALWAYS tow with my headlights on so my camera is working while I am towing. When disconnected from my truck the camera system is not powered and is not a parasitic draw on the trailer battery. If you leave it powered by the battery disconnect switch you'd be able to monitor the camera while you are camping but you'd have to bring the display into the camper and power it up and leave it on.
gakrazykajun great info to have! Thank you sir!!!
from your description in you title I thought you could switch back forth between a back up camera and observation camera, that what I would like
You should have used the furrion gasket and mount.
I had the same question as Gene Godwin did about sealing up the wiring hole. Do you think you could have left the Furrion housing in place and drilled 4 small holes in the faceplate for the Haloview camera bracket?
Ourlife Whirlwind it wouldn’t have worked that way. I looked for a way to mod the hood but there really wasn’t a good way to do it. Some have left the hood and mounted the camera just underneath but that requires drilling holes... I’m just not a fan of drilling unless I have no choice. Personal preference there.
What did you use to remove the furrion shark fin? I can't find a deep socket small enough to reach those 4 bolts
Ours was just a Phillips head screwdriver...
@@WanderingWeekends ah thanks - unfortunately mine is a bolt I'm not sure why
Nice, good information
I have a Haloview on my travel trailer and it works Great setting still but when you start moving the picture comes and goes!!! I need the external antenna!!
About half way thru, what is the black cable with the plug and play? My fifth wheel isn't prepped. Thought about getting power from the running lights
Did you get any interference when on the highway and near populated areas with other bluetooth/wireless systems? The camera I bought needed the range extender for that reason. It was not a halo view. Is the range extender part of the kit or a separate purchase?
Kevin Burroughs I believe the range extender is extra. Did you purchase a Haloview? If so I will be glad to send you this one.
@@WanderingWeekends thanks iits not a haloview though. However the haloview seems like a better system than what I got.
@@WanderingWeekends do you have a link for the extender? I'm fixing to purchase the halo kit with side marker cameras
mine did not start up automatically as yours did? Any thoughts? It looked like you had your 7 Pin plug connected from truck to RV. is that required for it to work
I can't see where you sealed the hole into the trailer, where the wire comes out. You screwed the bracket on before sealing it up.
It’s sealed with ample non-sag sealant.
thanks for posting. I just purchased this camera during the last prime days specials I can 't wait to install it. Have you had the chance to purchase or install side cameras on your trailer? any need for it?
We do have the side cameras! We actually like them better than the rear camera.
@@WanderingWeekends any suggestions for placing the monitor in the tow vehicle?
Now that you have had the set up for a couple months do you have any dislikes about it?
Brent Tatum actually no! It’s been nice having a “spotter” while backing in. I haven’t had any issues with connecting either. Literally plug it up when I’m ready to back in and boom... nice clear pic of what’s behind me. Very happy, even surprised how much I’ve enjoyed it. Worth a few hundred bucks? Yeah, I think so!
@@WanderingWeekends Great, thank you. I've been on the fence, couldn't justify the cost of Haloview, and now Amazon has a Cyber Monday Deal on them for $200.
How long is your camper and do you have any signal loss as many have reported? I have a 37ft. fifth wheel and I'm debating whether to get the M7108 or the RD7 that has the range extender unit.
Rob Holcomb we’re at 32ft and have not had problems with signal loss. At 37ft I’d certainly recommend an extender. It seems the max is somewhere between our two rigs.
@@WanderingWeekends Thank you. You've been a great help. Happy Travels!
Very good info sir...I just need to pull the trigger!!...just wish it was under $200
That the camera I was going to get. They had an Amazon Lighting sale on that model but I didnt buy it. Definitely regret it as i haven't see it that cheap since. Do you wish that the camera was more of a wide angle lens?
Quang Nguyen I’m happy with the angle. It’s a real life look vs a fisheye. Hard to judge distance with a fisheye sometimes.
Is the range extender an add on for the rd7?
No, it comes with the kit!
I installed and have tried literally everything and cannot get my camera and monitor to pair. There's power to both Ive selected camera 4 (I like the mark lines) Ive made sure camera 4 is selected pushed the paring button on the back still says no signal! I've watched videos and followed the instructions. My camera had the same set ups as yours (pre-wired for Furion) I ordered the adapter kit from your link. I can't find any phone number for help through Haloview. Any suggestions? Thank you!
T Woods make sure your antennas are tightened down. I had this issue just the other day and this fixed it. Keep us updated!
@@WanderingWeekends Thanks for the feedback. They are on tight. However, I installed the camera before Pairing with the monitor and I received an email from Haloview tech support saying that The antennas need to be within 3 feet to pair. Why on earth did they put pairing on the last page then? I'm not an electrician, or a mechanic just a single girl trying to do a man's job LOL! I'm wondering if everyone paired BEFORE camera installation?
T Woods hmm? I didn’t pair beforehand. I simply installed, took the monitor to my cab and fired it up. My only source of power was the 12v adapter.
@@twoods3480 I know this is old, but I just installed mine today and had the same problem. What solved it for me is finding out that the pre-wired furion only gets power to the camera when you are plugged into the truck and the truck headlights are turned on. The camera gets power from the 3 red marker lights on the trailer which only turn on with the headlights, not daytime-running lights.
Any reason you didn't go with the Furion?
Bernie Jagodzinski they didn’t send us a free camera 😂😂
This particular camera kit is $249+$9 for the adapter. The Furrion setup is $389. Pretty substantial difference. A camera has never been high on our wish list but now that we have this one we’re glad it’s there.
@@WanderingWeekends Thanks for the info. Saw your video on black tank chemicals months ago and have been using Happy Campers ever since. Great product.
what where the wires for that where capped
Being that you got it for free, it's alright. But I would never buy one. Hope you have good luck with it.
Frank Mitzen any reason why?
@@WanderingWeekends I don't care for the installation and having to rewire the supposedly plug and play.
It's not that it's difficult or how you did it. I just don't care for it.
Frank Mitzen ah I gotcha. Totally understand that way of thinking.
You can send me one for free if you like.
scott Michel if they send me another model it’s all yours!!
@@WanderingWeekends you are the man! I'll trade you. I'll send you the Rhino tote. 28 gal.
In my world $250.00 is not economical. Pass.
Robert S I hear you... but considering the name brand is $389...
I agree $250 is in no way economical. Especially since you can get comparable systems for $150 or less.
@@steelsunpi many of these camera's are useless with longer distance... don't know if this one is any good though.
So short range you can buy anything. Longer range most are crap.
The camera system is total trash, don't waste your money.
Ours was still doing well the last time we used it.
This installation, technically, is rookie status. No experience, no professional background.
That’s kinda the point there genius. No professional experience is needed for a simple job like this.
