5.0 out of 5 stars | Furrion Version S Observation System is great!
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
UPDATE: We’ve taken the 5th wheel out many times and this camera system always works flawlessly. Hubby likes to keep the monitor on, vice using the motion detect mode, as it aids to see what’s to the rear when he wants to change lanes. I believe the Amazon price is lower than manufacturer’s site, so this may be your best bet. Great product! First of all.....PERFECT! Now, for anyone installing this in a new RV that is prepped for the camera, like our brand new Keystone Cougar. First of all, you typically must have your running lights on; we did. We just couldn’t get it paired up and finally figured out there was no power to the camera; yup, the workers left the RV wires hanging, never hooked it up! Just took a moment to tie the wire into the running light, as it should’ve been. I wonder how many cameras have been returned because of this sloppy RV workmanship, thinking the camera was defective. Anyway, back to the camera. Once we verified power to the camera we paired it up quickly. While reading the instructions I found that there is a motion sensor built in, therefore, even if you are driving, if there is no motion behind you, the monitors may go off, or to sleep. We put this to the test, although it was only in the driveway and it works great, rather sensitive, I like it. The monitor is really nice and clear and although we won’t take it out for another couple of weeks, we’re sure it’ll do just fine. If there are any issues, or we discover additional features, I’ll update this review. By the way, I purchased this version as it is the latest one; maybe $60. more, but undoubtedly worth the price. Besides, the older model is no longer supported and parts not available.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Modern day towing necessity.
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
Hate that I had to buy this thing but it definitely spares me some curse words when backing up the trailer. With this I’m able to park my trailer without getting into any arguments w the wife over hand signals and such. Works well, easy to hook up, and actually is very useful on the highway. $400 is steep when you just bought a new trailer, but look at it as an investment in your happiness. Less fuss setting up= more enjoyable trip/ vacation.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Easy Setup
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
My camper was pre-installed with the mount for the camper. Install was very easy. At least running lights need to be on with my camper for camera to work. The camper is 31' and the truck is an F250 with 8' bed. I never lost connection to camera even when travelling 75+ MPH. That was a complaint with the older model. Very happy so far and it is really nice seeing what is behind you while driving and gives a little extra comfort when passing.

4.0 out of 5 stars | Pricey, but much better than the "back-up" system
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
I bought this to replace the "back-up" system that I got with my 5th wheel. When I hooked it up I could see the difference right away. The picture is clearer but most importantly it holds signal while moving down the road at highway speeds. On the first trip out I traveled close to 200 miles each way and it only lost signal once after about 150 miles into the trip. Is it perfect? No. But it works better than the grainy back-up camera that lost signal constantly and was laggy while driving down the road. It's nice being able to see what's behind my 5th wheel when I'm going down the road and backing up.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Easy piece of mind
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
This camera system worked really well for our trip. It was easy to install because the camper cane prepped for it. We literally just plugged it all in and it worked. In the picture you can see upcoming traffic on both sides of the camper passing us. The extra piece of mind was well worth the money. Backing up is much easier too!

5.0 out of 5 stars | Using it to change lanes.
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
This model was fantastic. We got it originally thinking we were only going to use it for backing up. On our trip we left it on and used it to change lanes. This was super easy to install.

1.0 out of 5 stars | Terriable custmer service. Never a resoultion just excusses
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
I bought this for my new Gulfstream camper with had a factory pre installed Furrion housing which did not match the new one I purchased. Had to install a new housing which defeats the purpose of buying the Furrion Multiple attempts to contact the no service Chinese company . Always the stall tactic and never solves the problem. Silly questions are asked via e-mail which I responded to with no resolution. This camera was 4 x the cost of other cameras and I thought it would be worth it. Looks like maybe this was re purposed but sold as new which is against the law Buy American whenever you can as Chinese company cannot be trusted.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Easy install, works great!
Size: 4.3" Monitor w/ Cam for Rear Bracket
I purchased this for 2019 Jayco travel trailer that came pre-wired for the Furrion backup camera. The existing bracket on the camper specified buying FOS48TA-BL as "high speed observation camera" or the FRC12TA-BL "backup system." I could not find either and then read that this is the newer model. The camera came mounted in the sharkfin bracket, the same type bracket that was already on my camper. To install I just removed the four screws to take the camera out of the bracket, then remove the same plate on the bracket on the camper, then install the camera. This avoids removing the entire sharkfin bracket off the camper. Inside the bracket on the camper there was a headphone jack type plug to connect to the camera, and there was also a purple wire - not sure what that is for and didn't use it. The camera only worked with the vehicle lights on (sending power to the camper running lights). It did not work with the lights off even when putting into reverse gear. The camera has a great picture. There are no grid lines for parking. It has audio which allows you to hear someone in the back helping you park. The camera also has a motion detector mode which allows the display to shut off unless it detects motion. Overall very happy with this purchase!
