Hi again I have a 2019 2400BH which is wired for a backup camera and I was hoping to use all of the experience of forum members to buy the best camera. This is my first TT and I am looking forward to our first outing in may

I bought a Furion camera last May and have been pleased with it. Furrion 381556 FOS48TAPK-BL Wireless High-Speed RV Observation System with Mounting Bracket https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010XWNFOM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_efaHCb8JB3XES

There are several versions of the furrion vision s camera system.

Displays from 4.3" to 7" and 1 to 4 cameras.

I recently bought a Furrion Vision S system on eBay. It was cheaper than Amazon and no tax. So shop around.

The pre-wired simply means there is 12 vDC near the top center rear of your coach. Any brand 12vDC camera can be installed there. Most likely the 12 vDC is tied to your marker lights. Lights on/camera on.

I have the furion observation camera. I would not recommend it. It will not stay connected when moving. I added a remote antenna in the rear window and still loses connection.

Look at the Haloview MC7108.
Over 900 ft range. Up to 4 cameras can be used. Can record video and has audio. Additional cameras can be wired to come on with turn signals or which ever trigger you want. Can view all 4 cameras at one time. Very large 7 inch monitor.

There are multiple versions of the furrion camera systems. The Vision S being the current version. The observation camera is an older version.

Haloview MC7108 sounds like a contender.

A comment on Furrion. I believe all of their products are overpriced due to being made 'specific' to the RV industry. I don't believe their products are a premium line as their commercials using Land Rovers and Airstream might lead you to believe.

having looked at this, how would you mount that camera though? could the mount be modified to fit the furrion mount? Not trying to hijack the thread at all, just asking a pertinent question

Does the haloview come with a mount? I imagine you would discard whatever is on your TT now and use what comes with the camera.

On our TT it wasn't a mount, but simply a cover over the power cable. The cover was discarded and the mount that came with the camera was used.
