Wow, that is a really simple install with the pre-wire set up! Thanks for sharing, Junior! Y'all Be Safe!
Thanks for watching! It is easy thats why they let me do it
I never would have thought about pairing the device pre-mounting. That's a good idea!
Dont think I am that smart. I learned the hard way HAHAHA
I have to say this guy know his stuff and in a very entertaining way, like the comment about the screwdriver BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS how to position my lights I have put 3 hours into this till I saw his last comment . Thanks!
Yep that is key
Thanks for the vid. Its a very simple install, but for new TT owners, this is helpful. Yes I don't read directions either. thanks again
It is easy and the directions can seem a bit more involved thats why we wanted to do the video so everyone can see how easy it is
Cool thanks for the video I’m getting ready to install mine.
Excellent video that is very to the point and without side talk or lengthy pauses - this way it is only long enough to explain the process (which it does very well). Addresses all necessary installation steps.
Much appreciated!
All your videos are great! Thanks!
Thank you so much
-JR
Thanks your videos are very informative and entertaining to say the least...lol.
We try! Thank you for watching and commenting
Super helpful!! Thank you!
Wow...love the cape👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
Didn't even notice until I saw your comment lol
Great video, I love the cape looks like a super hero cap.
Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana ... Batman.
Great video. Thank you for sharing!!
Sure thing glad it helped
-JR
huge help!!!! thank you
Happy to help, Mike!
Pretty simple and I think you are a hoot :)
Thanks for the walk-through.
Sure thing
-JR
seriously this guy needs more subs. been watching for a few years and entertaining as always!
Thank you!
-JR
Great video as always! I have always wondered if that hair was real until now. Nice cape. keep up the great info and entertainment.
Yes it is real. Subscribe to my other channel I will do a video on that one on why I had the long hair and why I cut it

Thanks, JR.
Anytime
You should be ranked in the top 3 RV RUclips channels.
I agree....maybe we should try our hand at a podcast see how we do with that
I mounted the first of 2 rearview cameras to the rear mount of our new RV. Used the Rohent system availble on Amazon. About $220 for the Camera mounts, 7" monitor, 2 cameras and wiring. The RV mount was easy to remove. Cut the wiring coming out of the RV and connected the hot(red) wire and black(ground) wires together. Camera mount was pretty close to the holes in the RV, so no major drilling. Used butt connectors and tape for a secure connection. Stuffed wiring down into RV cavity, added a little silicone caulk around rim of mount, screwed mount to RV and added a fair amount of caulk into the small hole to prevent water infiltration. The second camera I mounted to the rear bumper of my truck(where the monitor is). I didn't want to drill any holes, so I purchase 4 neodymium, rare earth magnets from Amazon for about $12. The magnets came mounted in small cases that had two predrilled holes. I mounted two of the magnets to the other camrea mount using small screws. Using a 48" trailer wiring harness that I cut off the half that I din't need, I connected the camera to the trailer wiring and hooked it into the 4 pin trailer connector on my truck. The camera mount stuck to the bumper like glue. I cannot actually pull it off. I can slide it off if needed, but these magnets have a pulling power of over 50 lbs. each. Adjusted the camera angle. With truck lights on, the rearview image is spectacular. HD 1080p. Invaluable for backing up, whether using camera on RV or camera on Truck.
Cool
You all make me happy to chose Keystone
Glad our dealership can help
Thank you
Thank you for this video. I struggled trying to figure out why I was getting no power to the camera with my "pre-wired" Salem Hemisphere Elite. I finally pulled the wiring out and it was wired backwards from the factory.
That would do it
Not the first time I have seen it. Understand typically black is positive and white is negative with lighting in rvs
good info
Thank you
Love the videos. Just a note, backup/observation cameras like the Furrion will not work on the newer Chevy Silverado pickups because the 12 VDC being supplied by the truck is not straight from the battery but instead developed using pulse width modulation (PWM) which effectively shuts off the camera hundred of times a minute so it will never pair. This is a known problem and Furrion is said to be working on an adapter that fixes this "feature" found on Chevy Silverado's. Yeah I know, should have bought a (insert brand name here).
Good to know! Have not seen it yet. Brand Ford with 6.7L DSL
You can now buy the adapter direct from the Furrion website plugs straight into the 7 way at the truck. Part Number F2BC001XXBK
I have a 2014 Silverado and am trying to get power to my Furrion camera on back of my trailer and cannot. Is my 2014 too new?
@@therealjr9175 I can't it to work on my 2018 F350...is there a secret?
Thank you for posting this! I have a 2022 Silverado and have been struggling with this. Works fine when connected together in the cab but as soon as I install on the RV I get nothing. I'll be getting this part ASAP.
Great video! I would start putting links to these type of products in the description so we can be redirected to your parts department and purchase them online.
I wish I knew exactly what to buy for that pre wired.
Good idea! Just did
store.keystonervcenter.com/index.php?p=detail&item=3629936
Great Video! I purchased the Furion camera pack with the two sides, a rear and over door camera. The two sides and the rear were easy as they used the park light wires, however the over door camera has nothing it's replacing. Where is the easiest/closest place to pull power from on a Winnebago 29ddbh?
I would check the awning lights or in most other campers I would say ceiling lights. However I think the winnin runs a single light strip down the middle so that might be a long stretch
Congrats on your Feedspot ranking.
Thank you!
Yeah the cape did it for me..leave a link for products is all, great job
See the links attached
In the next how to video can you teach us how to Dougie? hahaha Thanks for the installation video.
There is video of me dancing during our setup video...its not pretty...trust me
Sure thing!
Ty you!
Any time
-JR
How would you do it if its not prewired? And thanks for the amazing videos again
Following the instruction manual you would wire into the center clearance light of the camper to gain power from and mount the provided bracket
Thank fr the "How To" video. my question may have been asked before. What is the Model/Part # of that kit? I need for a 2018 Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 19FBS.
Depends do you want the 4.3 or 7" screen
I’m thinking of buying one of theses got a new 2022 camper and it’s already prewired for the camera so I’m sure they all can be installed just the same as you showed
Yep they have not changed for the Furions
-JR
you seem like a cool dude
I know it seems like that but once you get to know me you will find that I am amazing, awesome and humble
I thought you put a screw in your lips to hold the extra, then started to narrate your procedure and dropped the screw.
Thanks for the video and explaining why you were off to the side when installing.
Are there different models of cameras that can be installed in the Forest River pre wired for backup cameras RV's?
All the furion products I have seen have worked but I would stay with 4.3 and 7" observation cameras.
Good video if I was sold Furrion instead of Garmin Nuvi 68 LM. I need to sync backup camera to Garmin Nuvi 68LM with BC30 wireless adapter to my 2016 Raptor 422SP
No idea I would love to get one of the Garmins in to play with
Any updates? Still working good?
-JR
We have a 2019 Coachman Apex 215RBK with a pre wired for a Voyager Camera. Would the Furrion Camera work in this trailer or would I need to rewire it? Great Videos for first timers!!
No but you can use the power wire just have to mount the supplied bracket
Is the cape included with the camera? Love that there was no mention of the cape at all. :-)
No but I will put a link up for that shortly lol
Thanks Jr.
Is there a way to tighten the camera in one place once ya get it where you want it so it doesnt bounce out of adjustment? And what size is the camera screen in the tow vehicle? What say you about the types of cameras that have left and right side view? Are they too much clutter? I ask because I've never RV'd and I'm a safety forward person for sure. Anything that can help remove blind spots I'm all for, but I definitely dont want fluttery confession getting in my way that can mess with my driving.
BTW- I'm having a hard time deciding the RV to purchase.
I have not had someone tell me about the falling out of adjustment while driving its pretty firm lock. The screen we are using is a 4.3" but if you are going to side cameras I would say go to the bigger 7"
Side cameras have worked great with units that I have seen them on
Focus on finding the right floor plan first off. That is most important. What questions do you have about buying your next camper?
I'm OCD ... did you find that screw you dropped?
Great video. After watching you do it, I now think I can do too.
Did not even look for it
-JR
I have heard there is a difference between a 'backup/driving' camera and an 'observation' one. Also, wondering where this goes in the truck... I'll research some more. Thanks for the videos.
No difference
So currently the term Back up is 5 mph or less and driver or observation is highway speed
New over last 4 months
-JR
Can you add more than one camera to this system? For example, if I wanted one on the truck tailgate, and the rear of the camper?
Yes in theory for the truck but you can add side mounted and entrance door. So in theory you can do a tailgate but it would take some creativity but not impossible
Hello I have a 2021 fuzion toy hauler with camera prep, I pulled out the rubber plug & only thing there is a double white wire one piece & a yellow pig tail wire... no plug for the camera but i do have a extra one just need to know where to tap into??
Is it a furion mount?
-JR
I looked at many podcasts on camera installations but nothing on actuality operating it. For example I didn’t know that my running lights had to be on to power the camera, i kept getting a no signal on the monitor. My RV was prewired.
Glad this helped
how do you make not backwards on the monitor in the truck right is left and left is right thank you
In the owners manual there is info on how to flip it from mirror image if I am not mistaken let me take a look
I have a 2020 Montana with this system already installed. Is there a way to hook it up to my F350's existing camera system. The truck has an auxiliary tab that I thought was just for something like this.
Not that I have seen from someone creditable there are some aftermarket companies but nothing direct yet
Just installed a Furion camera in a 2021 22MLS that was not prewired for Furion. Camera paired fine in the vehicle but no signal when mount. Lights are on - marker lights are on but no power to camera or signal I believ i may have made the wrong choice when guessing where the red and black wires were to be tied in. I pit the red on the white pair and the black on the green and white pair. Is that reversed in polarity? Might I suggest a explanation of which is positive and which is negative somewhere in your manuals.
White is typically ground with the wiring on lights
Mine is pre-wired (2020 Dutchmen Kodiak Ultra-Lite) however, not getting power when the lights are on. The unit does work, we were able to pair them in the tow vehicle. Any idea on where I can start removing panels or other lights to complete the wiring connection?
Pull the light down that is directly above the camera harness check the wiring they draw power from those lights. Prob a bad connection
Great video!
So glad that, in their infinite wisdom and years of building trailers, they decided not to provide a separate power supply when building these trailers...
Also, what's up with the cape your wearing while on the ladder?
I normally tow with my headlights on so this is not an issue for me
Additional safety feature. Headlights on is always more visible.
Hooked up camera, it’s paired in the truck. Then hooked up to the back of the fifth wheel blue light and parking lights on but can’t get a video. Any help would be appreciated.
What brand truck? New chevy/GMC?
Still trying to find someone showing how to install this....WITHOUT ALREADY BEING PRE WIRED! Not every van is pre wired...including mine@!
Furrion Vision S. Ok if it is a motion detector camera that should be able to be used while in an rv how do I get power to the camera when not plugging into my truck for security. I have a Montana 5th wheel.
You would have to use a 7 way plug adapter approved by Montana the puts power from the charge line of the plug to the clearance lights
Did that fix it?
Is it possible to mount an after market wireless rear view camera to the Furrion mount? Furrion was a bit out of my price range.
Do not think so. Buy once cry once. I am too broke to buy stuff twice
What did you end up going with?
-JR
amazing cape, where can I get one?
My wife got it for my batman themed birthday party about 5 years ago. Nope not a joke. I looked for one but if I find it again I will link it on my webpage under the Eric Keep out section
jrsrvblog.com/
we are pre-wired for a Furrion but what is the model number for the camera that I would need to purchase or will any Furrion unit fit?
Any of the Furrions I have seen have the same wiring harness
I bought an XROOSE camera system and discovered upon installation the connector from the camera and the connector from the trailer are the same (both female). Is there an adapter to make this work or is it going to be more complicated?
Not that I know of. I have never messed with that camera
-JR
Show us some creative ways of the camera use with more useful and creative ideas. 2 cameras on the sides mounted on the trailer and or watch a monitor of the camera from inside the building as if it was a home with camera on constant power. Thks
Want to do the side camera mounts on a sierra once we get someone who is having it added we will shoot the video
We are about to switch our back up camera from our old TT to our new 5th wheel. Is there anything we need to do to the old set up (camper) when we remove the camera?
Just unscrew it from the old to new. As long as both are furion mounts should not be an issue
Everything transfer easy?
Hi there! I have this camera on my 2021 keystone hideout. It always draws power and kills my battery when in storage. What should I do? I knew going out to a dead battery .
I do not know how Keystone wires the unit but Forest River and Jayco products wire off the clearance light so unless the truck and trailer are hooked up AND the clearance light is on the unit does not get any power.
With that being said any RV will go dead in storage after about 3-5 days typically from everything that is wired to the battery drawing constant power like the radio for the clock memory and LP detector by RVIA code just to name a few. The best thing you can do is manually disconnect the battery when the unit is in storage. I have this on the list to do a video on.
Ok I'm thinking about buying a camera. I have a few questions. 1) I have a 2016 colorado, do I need that booster. 2) I have a 21 ft keystone not pre-wired. Where does the cameras go on the back and on the sides. 3) Is it hard to install for not being pre-wired.
I have not had a Colorado ever need it
Put it under the center clearance light and replace the front side amber lights
Depends on your skill with 12 volt wiring
-JR
Do a Winterization on a shamrock 233s
ruclips.net/video/FKVPrqEaJBE/видео.html
This should be pretty close
Installed same system you demonstrated. Paired camera inside truck. Camera worked fine inside truck. Installed camera rear of trailer. Checked to make sure running lights were on. Result no image and power light on camera not lit. Looks like no power to camera from rear plug. TT is a 2021 Coleman Light 2515RL. Furrion #FRCBRKT-BL came installed on trailer. Running lights operating. No power to camera makes me think problem in the trailer. Wire crossed to rear plug ? Not connected inside to running lights? Rear plug wire runs to fuse box and fuse is missing at blown? Anything else you could mention?
Thanks
I would check the power wire for 12 volt. If it did not have it I would take it in for warranty. See what they missed. It should still be under warranty
-JR
Surprise! Surprise! I have the same problem. Calling the dealer tomorrow. Keystone quality is beginning to not impress me. Just waited 3 weeks while they fixed other warranty repairs.
Camera & monitor work great when plugged into cigarette lighter. Once installed I get no signal at the monitor. That’s with my 5th wheel hooked to my truck with 12v. Help !
What brand tow vehicle I think I know this problem
JR
2018 Dodge Ram 2500
Why does my Furrion picture appear to be in reverse?? I.e. I am in the left lane and the approaching car appears to be passing on the left, however, it is actually passing on the right? Very Confusing!!!
you can go into settings and change that...its a mirror effect
For the 3 camera systems, mounting is just as simple?
If the unit has the prep for side cameras yes. If not it does require two wire connection on each light. So little bit more but not much. I will do a video on that at some point
We will have an install video on this soon I hope
Will the camera stay on as long as the lights on the trailer are on?. So when your driving down the road it can be used as an observation tool?
Yes
Did you end up getting it?
-JR
So I didn't buy a furrion camera for the already installed mounting bracket. I bought Yakry. Do I have to take off the already installed mounting bracket to be able to install the yakry camera?
Most likely I do not have access to that camera to answer for sure but I would be willing to bet you do
How did it turn out?
-JR
i have no power to the back up camera when i connect, I checked if there was power on the wires but there isn't any is there a switch to turn power on to the prewire
Are the clearance lights on? Have to have power to the lights. The camera uses a jumper off that. So when its plugged into the truck turn the headlight switch to the full on position. NOT AUTO. Look back and be sure the clearance lights are on the trailer. If they are it may be an LED issue but lets start with that part. You can message me directly on our instagram page Keystone RV Center
-JR
Ok let me try that. By the way you have the best videos on RV
Thank u
Can you pair The Back-up Camera to your phone I have a Droid? If not will it pair to the screen on the stereo of my pickup it has Bluetooth capability
Not that I have seen
Now LCI has a system that does but it only works at 5mph back up and I still like Furion better
-JR
Dude....where can I get a cape like that? I know they just don't give them out to anyone, but I'm willing to earn it. I'm putting my furrion system on this week!
How did the install go? Did you wake up to find a cape left at your door step?
@@KeystoneRVCenter Lol, rear install was quick and easy. Side cameras are too big for the area where originals are. Was going to move them down and a little back. Just haven't done it yet... I'm waiting for my cape!
@@KeystoneRVCenter Lol, rear install was quick and easy. Side cameras are too big for the area where originals are. Was going to move them down and a little back. Just haven't done it yet... I'm waiting for my cape!
I bought one of these. Installed it on a prewired RV. Stopped working after the first time I used it.
This is odd. Are you getting a good connection on the plug?
Any updates
IMPORTANT: If your camera does not operate initially, turn on your tow vehicles lights with the 7-pin connected. The camera power may be wired into the taillights.
Yep that's why I say the clearance lights got to be on
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter Good Point. Missed that.
The problem I get it works great some trips next trip it won’t pair
Thats odd
Running the headlights in the full on position and not on auto?
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter yes headlights are on like I said it worked great stopped using it and Furrion was no help customers service sucked told them it was still under warranty and they hung up what a waste of money
My 2020 sandpiper is pre wired but when I plug my furion camera in to it it does not have power, even though my running lights are on. I plug the camera into the 6 V port next to the monitor and it works fine.
Sounds like Sandpiper did not connect some wiring. Try pulling the center clearance light or taking it in for warranty
Did it have power with the headlights on? Not on auto but ON
-JR
Is that a cape?
Yes it is!
-JR
@@KeystoneRVCenter would it make the job easier when I install mine if I wore a cape?
On a serious note…mine is a 2016 26’ StarCraft ar-one max and it was not presided for a camera. My plan is to just splice into the middle running light with my furrion rear cam. Would it be safe to say there is a beam under that light to mount this camera to. I can’t find a video on RUclips where someone has mounted a cam that wasn’t prewired. Thanks and keep rockin the cape!!!
No Monster drink?
Not this time had to have steady hands
Ok now I got more monsters
-JR
I just purchased the camera and went to install it. Popped off the cover for the pre wired mount and there was no wire installed in housing. I have a 2020 Salem kqbss. Any idea where the wire runs from so I can try to fish it out
Try popping the clearance light out above it should be right there
Did that work?
A cape?
Yes, from time to time.
Yes it is in a few videos. Long story. Kind of an inside joke with our long time channel watchers
Doesn't work on newer trucks due to not enough power.
Must have a Chevy or GMC
They make a booster to fix that. It comes up from time to time
-JR
Is he wearing a vampire cape?
I AM BATMAN! No seriously its a Batman cape....
He insists on wearing it.. SMH. -MARK
WHY WOULD YOU NEED ANTINNA?
They supply them
Dude in the cape, side note: why is he wearing a cape?? Seems a bit up uptight, relax bud.
