Side cameras and backup cameras what’s your setup?

[WanderingJ]

I have the Furrion 7" system with the Sideview Turn Signals/markers and Rearview backup cameras. Plus the Thorne Adapters and Rampage mirrors. Those KSource mirrors do look good and offer a larger vertical viewing area!

What do you do with the monitor? Attached to window? i was thinking of putting over my rearview. They have an attachment for the haloview. i assume furrion should as well.

Monitor is OK, I'm still figuring it out and need to adjust the color and temperature/grain, tweak it to my preferences. It has infrared/night vision which works well.
Currently, I'm mounting it to the window, between my dual RAM phone mounts above the center head unit. I'm considering another RAM mount for it and either mounting it on the grab handle, or replacing the mirror with a CMM mirror mount and adding a camera to my rack. Going this route would allow me to mount a Garmin RV GPS monitor to the grab handle. https://cmmoffroad.com/products/gladiator-jt-rearview-mirror-delete

What Sonic do you have? I have a 2021 Sonic SN220VRB. Love it!!! Tows real nice too.

2023 211VDB, it towed well without issue from the dealer to the house, about 20+ miles, on a day where we had wind gusts up to 30mph, I could feel it back there but EcoD didn't hesitate, towed nice at the posted speed limits of 60-65 with the wind. The EcoD pulled from a dead stop at lights without issue too. Trailer is 4620 dry/empty, with a 600lb Tongue weight, according to manufacturer door stickers. I'm prepping for a Memorial weekend trip to Luray, VA Shenandoah Mtns area. I will put it on the scales (about 5 miles from my house) then, when we depart and see what it weighs when we load out.

NIce. MIne's similar but I don't have the rear two bunks...don't need them as it's just me and the Bride. Also, my dinette side out is big enough I can stretch out on it and not hit either end (I'm 5' 10") and my fridge is on the other side just in front of the bathroom which goes across the whole rear.

Mine says about 4,650 lbs as equipped and with all we want or need, it's probably closer to 5,100 lbs. Tongue weight is 420 lbs but with all the shtuffola in the front pass through, it's probably closer to 520 lbs.

My gasser Overland handles it just fine, starting out from a red light, and towing at around 65 MPH in 7th at around 2,100 PRMs.

Mine came with a wireless Voyager installed. It's useful.

That's a smart looking setup there.

Just did my first tow with the haloview side and rear camera. Very small delay but worked great. Hit construction with no shoulder and only concrete barriers all around. A little worried as it was my first time with anything over 1k lbs. It was nice having the side cameras as well as the tow mirrors to watch out. When i returned home, I had to park in a small side pad near my parents garage and managed to get it almost perfect on first try without any help.

Did you do a write up on the camera install? Curious what you did with the monitor. Do you have a link to the camera? Thx

no write up, didnt think about it. i did it in parts but the install for everything can easily be done in like an hour, if that. This is pretty much the kit I installed. https://www.haloview.com/byte-tango-7-plus.html

though, i got the monitor and backup camera for 250 on amazon and then the side marker/cameras for a little over 200. For the rear backup camera, removed the center light, mines not prepped for a camera, and you just use the light wires to power that. Installed using Wago connectors. Same with side markers, they replace your current side markers and just get power from the marker wires. Of course, use some good stuff like Proflex Rv sealant around it to keep water out. The cameras power when you turn on your parking lights. As for mounting the monitor, grabbed a cup holder tablet mount. - this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCVHNQLX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1. I was going to return it bc I thought I needed something higher but worked fine. this kept it out of the way while still being easily visible.

My plan, that I haven't had a chance to complete yet, is to run a coax to the furrion mount, and install an oem gladiator backup camera there. Then, swap the connector wire (there's an easy to access harness behind a plastic panel when the tailgate is open) as part of trailer hookup. This should allow me to get the trailer camera view right on my gladiator head unit. I really don't want an extra screen if I can avoid it.

Trickiest part will be to get that coax up to the furrion mount. Would be great to get it behind the wall but I don't know how feasible that is. I already got the cable and tested that the camera works with about 30 feet long cable. Just haven't had time to complete my vision (get it, vision...im clever)

Will wire up my failure or success hopefully in the next few weeks
