Are you currently using it on your rig ?? Also what is the length TT ?

The sunshine and warm weather would be great and a big help. DW and I had reservations at Jamaica Beach RV resort in Galveston but that got canceled because of the COVID virus. Next couple of weeks are going to be rainy and chilly so at least a couple of weeks away from an install and review.

I have the 2020 310GK-R Solitude.Obtained on Dec. 2nd 2019. I installed the Furrion Shark (single camera in the back but can add side and door cameras later). Some comments:
1. Unit was expensive, but my RV was wired and ready, thus no work or risk there.
2. Image quality is fair to good. My background is medical imaging so excellent to me is "way up there".
3. Does it allow me to see well behind me? Good enough running down the road and backing up. View especially good early in a.m. and late p.m. due to sun
light on monitor. I recommend the 7" monitor.
4. Does everyone need a rear view camera? No. I like being able to see behind but I can where RV vets can do without.
5. Install on a 1-5 was a 2 (easy). Just follow the instructions.
6. Using with a late model GM truck vehicle? I have a 2020 High Country Silverado. I must place the lights on manual beams, cannot use "Auto" selection.
If you want to use "auto" lights buy the Furrion adapter cable (approx. $60). It plugs into your truck bed 7 point connection and your RV plugs into that.
7. Careful buying the right model you want. Model numbers are very close in alpha numerics. I had to return my first one. The rear only is called the Shark
Fin. It has a S or something like that in the model #. Amazon did not portray the model clearly.
8. I believe mine has sound pick up also but I have not used it. My wife and I use cell phones when backing up etc.

Hope this helps! Benny

I'm using it on my rig, the length of my TT is 39ft. It works great and has a super clear picture, it's really a good camera system to recommend. Here are some reviews on Youtube, I hope these will help you with your purchase.

Honestly I have tried a few of these cheap brand on Amazon and had to go back to buying the new furrion camera,,i reckon its model S.

Everyone of these cheap cameras had noticeable lag, even at 40 miles/h.

The furrion one did cost me quite some money but i have not lost connection or noticed lag single time. LIFE>MONEY

I just bought the Haloview MC7108 and the Haloview CA112 Wireless RV Side Marker Light Cameras. I just installed it and it looks great on the 7' camera. Installation was straight forward and took about 1hr. I have not tested it on the road yet so i'm not sure if I will get any lag on a 33' trailer. If so I also bought the "Haloview S-5M 5DBi Magnet Antenna High Gain 2.4G Antenna Signal Booster Amplifier Modem Directional Adapter with 5M Cable for Haloview MC7101 MC7108 MC5101(S-5M)" in the event there is lag.
So far I like what I see.

I purchased the Furrion 7 inch system for my new 303RLS. On my old 5th wheel I tried a system from RVS, but couldn't maintain a constant picture while moving. I returned it and bought a more expensive system from Tadi Brothers. They were excellent to work with. But even after they provided boosters for transmission and reception I still had problems. I added 16 inch antennas on both ends and added parabolic reflectors on the camera end. I had two cameras, one for near and one for far away. Still in the end I would lose the image for a while often. I had a jumble of electronics on my dash and
cords all over. I decided for the 303 I would buy the Furrion system and would return it quickly if it did not work. Due to the Corona deal I have not had much use. However, my limited experience has been good and is so much simpler. Maybe the fact that it is Bluetooth has made the difference.
