I installed the Furrion Observation system and just recently installed the 2 side cameras (front).
Mine is 41.5 feet long I've gotten pretty good at backing in, even without a spotter. The thing that helps me the most is when I purchased an orange cone to use as a marker. I will pull forward of the campsite slot, stop, examine the terrain, and then place the cone exactly where I want the pivot point for the trailer tires to start. This also help for low hanging branches from trees too. Place the cone where you want the pivot point to be.
After getting the observation camera installed, it was great when towing on the road, and I do find it useful when backing into a spot. It just takes time to get use to using it.
I've not been on the road yet with the side cameras as they were installed on Christmas day and I haven't been on the road. So I'm now wondering and waiting for the first tow to see how how much more beneficial the side cameras will be.
Just from sitting in the drive way, I think they will be very beneficial for backing in, along with the rear camera. I still will continue using the cone though. It helps spotting that pivot point so much easier, on either side of the vehicle.
