- #ilovervlife #HaloviewRD7 #RVcameras Several months ago we installed the Haloview 7” Wireless Range Dominator System on our 5th wheel. We were so impressed with the quality of the system and the simplicity of installation that we planned to expand the system to include front and side RV cameras. Haloview contacted us and provided us with these cameras to evaluate. The video below shows the installation of both the Haloview Wireless RV Side Marker Light Cameras and the CA109 Wireless High Definition License Plate Camera.

Good Morning Jerry & Joan. Another great informative video from iLoveRVLife. This seems to be a really valuable system for all size RV's and you did a great job in showing how to install the Haloview RD7 Wireless Range Dominator System with Front, Rear and Side RV Cameras. Thanks for the personal time you spend in helping show other RVers these DIY Videos and safe travels on your upcoming Mountian Trip.
Thanks so much. The projects are fun and equally so sharing. Now let’s see if I can find some snow for Joan.
Great video. Really interested in doing this to our fifth wheel. We always enjoy watching your videos, you do a great job in the details.
Thanks a bunch. Drove to TN today. Great having the cameras working. One benefit was the quad mode. Driving through Atlanta had all 4 on and recording. A just in case “insurance” mode.
Thanks for taking the time to share this as well as everything you do. Hope to meet you on the road someday.
Glad to share. RV life make the world a little smaller. Hope so too.
Nice work. Pride.
Thanks Robert
Great location for the cameras and I’m sure they will a layer of security for you as your driving.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Don. They worked today. We’ll have a short video later this week showing the system as we drove today.
You always do so well on your videos...so simple to follow and very practical information. First time I ever saw your channel you recommended Happy Camper for the black tank and it has worked fantastic. Lobe the side view cameras, definitely going to consider. Thanks again, have a great trip.
Thanks so much. Great to hear your enjoying the channel.
Thanks for sharing Jerry. You make it seem so easy that all of us could do it. I’ve got a rear camera on my motor home but will have to consider side blinker cameras in the future and you have given a good example that shows it is very doable without having to have it professionally installed. Way to go Jer!!
Glad to share Jerry. The side markers are super easy to install.
Thanks for this great video. I already had the camera system and this was a great installation tutorial. I ordered the LED lights as well too, using the link provided in your description. Thanks
Thanks Frank. Great to hear the video was helpful and appreciate the order using our links. Something not realize until we used the cameras for a while, the side cameras are great when backing into a tight spot.
Thanks for the video Jerry. Once you have all the cameras it's hard to live( drive, park) without them. It a piece of technology you really start to depend on once you get them.
I bet Jim Bo. Used for the first time today. Still have a little tweaking for angles, but using today was great.
I like not having to rush to have a nice install. Always fun to be doing something myself. Beats going to work, any day.
Thanks Jim. One of things were you can make work fun!
Yeah! Been waiting for this one! Watching now. Thanks Jerry!
You bet Libby. Fun having them today.
Hey Jerry, great to see you. Alabama's drowning and we are ready to jump ship. Cabin fever is setting in. Trying to decide on a dry destination. Looking forward to your trip videos. Keep 'em comin' and be safe out there!
Thanks Diane. We just left rivers over flood stage. Don’t laugh, but Joan wanted me to find here some snow 🥶. Travels on the way.
Looks like another A++ job Jerry. I hope you can get more miles with it this year after the virus restrictions are lifted. Hope you and Joan are both well physically and mentally as being restricted at home can be trying.
Thanks Tim. Joan and I are well here in the hidden bunker. Looking forward to hitting the road again. At this stage, we’re not able to plan our next trip, but as soon as this C-19 settles, we’re out of here. Stay safe. Jerry...
Thanks for sharing Jerry.
You bet!
Great video Jerry and thank you for sharing. Be safe on your trip and happy travels.
Jerry just completed my install of the Haloview on my Arctic Fox Thanks, Jerry for the video I was able to use your install for a clean factory looking install on my fox.
Thanks G long trip today. Glad to be parked.
@@iLoveRVlife Glad you guys made it without a problem. Give us one of your great videos during your travel. You guys have a great time.
You bet! Bunch on the way.
This is cool, thanks for another great video
You bet Michael. Always glad to share.
@@iLoveRVlife Can you get me one of those set ups for free to?
I wish.
Great job Jerry
Thanks Sam.
Nice, good job
Thanks Tim.
Things are always amazing when you get them for free to "look" at , please !
I must admit that I’m a bit perplexed at your statement. Greater than 95% of the products we evaluate on our channel we purchase. If it works well, we show it. If not, we don’t bother making a video and wasting our viewers time watching a negative video. We’ve used this system in our travels for some time before we showed the video, taking on trips and stressed first. We’ve also given updates later in the year with no payment or products given just to show our viewers a quality system and how we use a year later. The folks at Haloview were kind enough to provide a unit for evaluation. They have also provided other units and we gave them away to our viewers. Our goal is simple, share what works for RV life, don’t waste hard earned money on things that don’t work, and how to install and configure. But, opinions are important and I appreciate the opportunity to reply how and why we do our reviews.
Good morning, Jerry. I don't know how to do it but you're fricking awesome. (Pardon the French.) You do every thing so neat, I'm just just like you when it comes to looking factory installed. I don't like a bunch of wires hanging down either.
Thanks a bunch Ty. It take a little longer for these type of installs, but worth it in the long run.
Those types of crimping tools are great.
Oh my goodness Gilbert. I used the older plier style for years. These things create a perfect crimp.
Love it
Thanks Clayton.
Your video was super helpful for my install! Without it, I would have cut and spliced the original marker light wires instead of fishing out the white/green wires from my TT, which is what every other video showed. Thank you!
Glad we could help Roger.
The nylon keepers will have been enough to keep the front nuts from getting loose.
Good idea mentioning about the red versus blue lock tite. Red is a monster to get loose.
Nice job on the install!
Did you replace the markers with LED as well?
Agree Jim, that red stuff is something. That little extra of blue was a just in case given all the vibration the pot holes and uneven roads.
I did Jim. All was changed. Looks like all markers are part of the same circuit and wanted to make sure I had plenty of power for the cameras. I'll have a video of use in a few weeks. For some reason, I goofed up the last two recordings. Joan was great showing the features, but I'm a terror when it comes to one handed recording.
I Love RV Life we can’t a be perfect all the time!
Love watching your show! You have talked us in to getting a rear and side camera's for our Chaparral. One question for you; was your Gateway pre-wired for a camera? Ours is and we are wondering if we can use that wiring. Looking forward to seeing your travels. We are not too far from you, Knoxville, TN. Safe Travels!
Thanks y’all. Great to hear you’re enjoying the channel. The side cameras I used are wireless since the Gateway had no prewire. If you click the video I shared at the beginning, you’ll see what I had to do for the backup camera. That was fun! If your not using any camera system now, there are configured packages with camera(s) and monitor. If you need to adapt to an existing system, you need to research the Haloview site for the adapters.
Excellent system. We use ours a bit different. We use two cameras in the bed. Much easier to hook up the Reese Goosebox.
I’ve seen that often Kevin. With so much being wireless, I can see so many uses for the cameras.
Very informative and well done, if you want to add Apple Car Play to your factory radio Thank you for the content
Thanks
Thanks for the great and thorough video! I like your front camera install, definitely the smart way to do it! Do they have a touchscreen display or an option that connects directly to your trucks navigation system?
Thanks Blake. Haloview offers a number of screen options. The 5 and 7 inch aren’t touch, but the menus are brief and very responsive. The also offer several integration options depending on manufacturer. Visit their site for more information www.haloview.com?acc=552.
Very nice job again Jerry! I couldn't help but notice that while you were doing your headlights I was wondering if you know about those awesome LED replacements I've also got it F250 2015 and it made a humongous difference.! And I also can't help but wonder what your previous vocation was if it had anything to do with mechanical stuff
Thanks James. We had LEDs for a while and changed back. Unfortunately we had some cheap eBay junk. May try again with a better product. In my previous life I was a large infrastructure telecommunications engineer and operation VP. Had my hands in some interesting projects of the past few years. Appreciate you following the channel.
Another great video. I have been looking for this system install video on a large 5th wheel. Very informative tutorial. I to like the clean, factory, professional look. I didn't pick up or even know if you mentioned but do you also need to pair the the side marker cameras and front camera to the monitor or does it automatically do it?
Thanks Robert. This was a Phase 2 project. We started with a rear and front camera using the RD7 Ranger Dominator system as the foundation. Here’s the video,of this install ruclips.net/video/LVzO9wl-UwU/видео.html The RD7 can monitor up to 4 cameras. System is very stable and eliminates the blind spots with the side cameras.
Thanks for an outstanding video. I'm looking for a system to act as a dash cam, too. 2-channel while driving the pickup, and 4-channel when hooked up. Which may mean having to purchase a fifth camera... Questions:
1. Does this have 'dash cam' features such as speed, time stamp, park mode, or gps.
2. I'm assuming this loop records every xx minutes?
3. Does the record function record all cameras, or does it record just the one(s) being viewed on the monitor?
4. Clarity to read license plates?
Thanks a bunch. We added the front camera to act as the dash. Haloview make a mirror style monitor and dash cam, but only supports the dash and one additional camera. Here’s our review ruclips.net/video/1AHxL8wH5Bg/видео.html. It does loop, but recording is based on he size of the chip. I haven’t checked mine in a while, but holds several days depending on length of trip. It only records one camera. When driving through a congested area, I flip to front to record the crazy drivers. It will read a license plate depending on the angle of the camera. Hope this helps. Jerry...
Take that wire probe and throw it into a lake! Piercing the insulation will allow moisture/salt to get at the copper wire - in time the copper will oxidize and become brittle then break ( you will find yourself stranded on some rural road because the guy that installed your trailer plug probed every wire he could find even the in tank fuel pump ). Probe at harness terminal only
Agree. I only use inside the cab. Most of the time to check fuses.
Excellent video! I have my camera and side cameras in the box and will be installing this week. Unfortunately, in my 23-footer (Rockwood), the side lights are only an inch or so above where the front storage doors that swing open so I can't install there as the door will hit the cameras so I'll have to mount a few inches above which requires drilling into my camper but has to be done!
Thanks. Hope the install goes well.
@@iLoveRVlife Thanks I did get the rear camera in and she’s great but the wiring in my two side cameras must be wrong because they light up but won’t pair with the monitor. I can’t see any little lights on in the cameras when they are on, should I??
The camera lights are infrared. You won’t see them. One thing to check is the amount of power coming to the camera. I had to change my marker bulbs to LEDs to increase the voltage. My markers were the T10 type. I used these amzn.to/3Ipkz3T This increased the amount of voltage to the side cameras.
Hey Jerry like the system but i wish they have a 5 inch screen model with the side and back camera. my truck like yours is running out of room for electronics. GPS, TPM, Cellphones pretty soon there will be no room for us.
No problem Don. Go to the web site. They have the 5101 system, 5 inch model and it has 4 channels. You can order the side cameras separate.
Neat little system. But I’m curious to know what the federal DOT regulations say about angle of visibility for the markers as the cameras significantly obstruct the line of sight view of the lamp.
Camera shot didn’t do the install justice. The markets are larger and bright. Don’t think there will be an issue.
Greetings, I just found your channel and I enjoy your clear instructions. Please explain why you want a camera on the front? I was going to put my fourth camera for extended coverage of the passenger side because I travel alone. Thanking you in advance, -Keith
Thanks. We had a dash camera and use the front camera in it’s place. This removed an obstruction from the windshield. This new front camera is used when we travel through busy cities and use this camera with the monitor recording. This gives us video for those who routinely cut us off in traffic. At 56 feet and 22,000 lbs it takes a while to stop. If something ever goes wrong, we’ll have video for the insurance company.
@@iLoveRVlife I kind of thought that's why. I have a camera (dash cam, so that's what I'm doing. The one for over the door will give me a better view of any blind spots on the passenger side. I'm installing it Saturday so I didn't want to miss something you old timers (lol) may have thought of. I'm 78 , in good health and going it alone and I'm using all of the precautions possible to be safe. I have a 31 foot Montana and going full time before it's to late:-). Like I said before, you do a great job of explaining things. Well my friend, I hope we cross paths one day, you appear to be a great guy! -keith
Thanks Keith. Those side cameras also help when backing in a tight spot. I loose site of the right side on the turn. Helps a bunch.
Was it just me or did video from front camera seem reversed? Love the system!
Bill you’re awesome! It was. And it was after I drove through Atlanta today that I noticed the cars were passing one the wrong side. 2 seconds to switch from a mirror view.
I Love RV Life I got the eagle eye. Y’all have fun on your trip!
HiJerry. I'm Looking to putting camera's on my 5th wheel. I have a Chav Silverdo and looking at the factory camera system.
Pretty site install for the sides. Watch the other video that I linked. The amplifier for the back up works perfect.
I assumed the side view cameras were for the lights at the back end of the rig to assist with clearance when changing lanes. Are they supposed to be at the the front of the rig like this? I guess you can put them anywhere you want, but Ive never seen them mounted like this. Great video regardless. Very informative!
Hi JB. I have a rear camera. Similar concept as what is seen on the large Class As and Cs. This fills in the blind spot when changing lanes.
nice...but quite expensive to add to existing Haloview backup camera system.
Since you upgraded to the RD10 with the mirror display do you miss having side cameras and the larger view on the display? I am trying to decide on the Rd7 or 10.
Mike, we kept the RD7 and gave the RD10 away as part of the install video. I had the console space to keep the nice 7” monitor. If I lived in a state does’t allow dash devices or if I was running out of dash real estate, the RD10 is a good solution. The side cameras are a nice add. I use if we’re going through a large city. Plus the passenger side camera is very nice if I’ll backing into a tight spot.
It looks like your side camera's are sending/showing a reversed picture. Would expect that the awning side would be the passenger side with the RV to the right with the view to the left, and the drivers side to have the RV on the left. Am I missing something?
I misspoke. I matched the cameras to the signal leads I’ll connect later.
Great video! What's the connector at 16:27 called? The only parts I can find on Amazon have a ring, or male/female spade. None that look like this that are specifically for replacing a twist-on wire connector. Thanks again for the video! About to do this exact setup on my fifth wheel and F350!
Thanks a bunch Brian. We just drove through Atlanta a few days ago. Was nice having the side cameras for lane changes. These are closed end wire connectors. Always handy for low voltage wiring projects. Here’s a link where you can purchase amzn.to/2PfoqIY
@@iLoveRVlife Got my side cameras installed last night and should be getting the back and front cameras done this weekend! Your video has made this much easier! Did you ever wire up the monitor to your turn signals or tap into the ignition power instead of the cigarette lighter? I'm leaning toward that but would love to know what I'm getting myself into first :) The other thing I was considering instead of the turn signals is wiring the triggers up to the upfitter switches so I can choose my camera view more easily. Would that work?
Hi Brian. The tap in is on the to do list. It's a bit of a task. Interesting you mention using switches to trigger. I too am leaning in that direction. Driving down the interstate I want the rearview on. In heavy traffic, I want the right side on to manage the blind spot and lane changes.
@@iLoveRVlife Oh man, if you end up doing this I would love to see a video!! Your explanations and walkthroughs are the best I've found!
Thanks a bunch. You bet I’ll share the how to.
I wonder if you could have used epoxy to install the bolts into the grill vs drilling
Maybe Dan. But afraid the shock of the pot holes and long drive vibrations on highways with uneven concrete would break it loose over time.
Maybe put on fenders of truck for left and right. Could see almost as much, and with just the truck blind spots.
That’s an option. They have a wide range of cameras for custom installs.
Hi Jerry, when you fused your plug to get power to your marker lights, so power is coming from your RV battery?
Hi Tom. Correct or the converter if connected to a power pedestal.
@@iLoveRVlife thank you, i picked up side cam markers last week still need to install...i may convert to led marker lights also
Tom, the LED change is a couple dollars and the bulbs are brighter and require less power. Nice little upgrade.
How do you power the front camera on and off or do you keep it powered all the time? Do you like the front camera in the grill or do you think it would be better on the dash? Thanks in advance. Keith
Keith, I turn on the parking lights to power the front and side cameras. I treat it similar to a dash camera. I had a dash, but the window was getting crowed with GPS, etc. Nice to get the real estate back. This is a lot of system for just a front camera. Would not have gone this route if it didn’t integrate with the rear camera. Overall, it’s been a good solution.
I Love RV Life, I was going to get a dash cam and then I figured I would use the Haloview since I have it for the rear camera. Then I saw your videos. I’m waiting 3 weeks for Haloview to send my camera. They blame everything on the virus and Customs. Thanks for the info and stay safe. Keith
Thanks for the video. There seems to be different models. Is RD7 the model of the monitor? I want to purchase the monitor and side marker cameras.
Hi Louie. This is one of the models. There several that you can start with and add to if you can't find a configuration you need. Here's a link to the product site. www.haloview.com/products/wireless-backup-camera-systems.html?acc=552
Thank you!
Is there a link for the front camera? I don't see it included in any of the packages or am I missing something?
It’s the rear view license plate camera. Used this since it included the mounting bracket. Here’s the link www.haloview.com/haloview-ca109-wireless-720p-high-definition-license-plate-rear-view-camera-for-mc7108-mc5111.html?acc=552
Wish they would offer a camera designed to mount to the rear view mirror, to have a dash cam and backup cams in one unit.
Hi Jeff. New product with this configuration. Here you go ruclips.net/video/1AHxL8wH5Bg/видео.html
I just purchased a 1982 Custom Coach MCI MC9 bus, I would like to get a better backup camera, and side view cameras. I am pretty sure I am on a 24V system, would this work for me?
Per the specs from the manual, the monitor and camera will operate between 10V-32V DC. www.haloview.com/byte-tango-7.html
Help! We cannot get the split camera view! All cameras are working with select button.
Hi Sunny. Glad to help. Press Menu. Use arrow key to go to Q-Mode, press OK. Use arrow key to move to the picture that shows the quad you want to use, press OK. Press Menu to leave. Then you can press the SEL button for each camera or the quad mode selected. Hope this help. Jerry...
I'd like one on top near a/c for a clearance view...
The camera I used on the front of the truck would be perfect.
Any issues with the new led marker lights?
None so far Tom. Worked like a charm.
How did the cameras perform on the road?
Perfect.
I just bought this system, arrived today in fact. Not hooked it up yet but how did you get the side cameras to turn on when turning on the turn signals???? Please let me know! Thanks.
The harness is provided. I took to a car stereo installer to wire. Finding the leads were a challenge. The installer had the factory manuals to identify.
do you have anything showing the quality of the video at night?
I don’t. Maybe a while before we head out again. From use, the video was fair at night.
@@iLoveRVlife thanks!
I'm not understanding why you're putting the camera on the front of the truck? The rest was great.
Good question Robin. We call this our insurance camera. We are record as we drive. This is our protection in the event of those drivers that put us at risk and cause an accident.
Who's factory?. My rev group Holiday rambler, and General RV are 2nd rate.
Factory?
What is the reason for a front facing camera? Isn't that the same as what you see while driving or sitting in the drivers seat? LOL
We call it our insurance camera in the video. Same as a dash cam and I have one less item to deal with. I don’t use for guidance, but recording those aggressive drivers who pull in front and hit the breaks in heavy traffic. At a weight of 24,000 lbs and 56 ft, these things don’t stop on a dime. I’ll have evidence that I wasn’t following to close just in case something bad happens.
I thought I just purchased this and found that for $549.00 the payment went to China and they were out of stock and they had to make more? Not in stock was not mentioned and maybe I get a refund by the end of JUNE/(BUY @ YOUR OWN RISK!)
Sorry to hear you had a delay in the purchase.
You could have left off the first 3 minutes of the video. I’ve always wondered why you tubers spend 3-5 minutes telling us what they will be telling us in the video.
Thanks Rich.
But you did put an index in so I could go to the section I was interested in. Kudos!
You get what you pay for I guess. Mine worked perfect with my Chevy Colorado. It refuses to connect to any camera with my Silverado. And yes, there is proper voltage. I've tried everything to no avail. I guess I should have just paid the money for the Furrion. I'm ready to throw this crap onto the burn pile.
Not clear on your set up. A Haloview camera must pair with their monitor. There’s no function to sync with a truck in-dash radio. Also, there are two types of Haloview systems - RD7 that works up to 33 feet and the longer range BT7. The camera and monitor must be the same type. The same goes with Furrion. The cameras only work with their monitors.
Those Leds you have ten i ln a pack are horrible and won't last 3 months...
Already used them...they burn 🔥 out fast...good Leds are about $15 for 2
Sorry just a heads up 😷😁😷
Wonder if you got a bad batch. I used these to replace the markers in the truck over a year ago. So far so good. Thanks for he heads up. We’ll keep a look out.
