I like the 7" however I don't have it mounted to my window. It fits nicely on a depressed tray area on my dash. Thus does not interfere with my view. I just have the Shark Fin rear view but I like the big 7" picture. I can honestly see why veteran 5th wheel pullers feel comfortable without a camera. I'm a fairly new full timer so I like seeing what is behind me. All is personal preference. Be safe. Benny

I have not honestly used my 7" model much yet due to having a new 303 and stuck at home with the Covid thing. In my short drives, I did notice that with the wide angle of the camera, you get a pretty small image, even on the 7". If you have the room and budget, I would suggest the 7".

Just installed the Halo View RD7 Mini this week. Took a short test run and everything worked just fine. Take your time on the install and think it out. You have several options with all the parts that they send you. Good Luck

I went through this personal debate when we bought our 5er. Ended up going with the Furrion Vision S 7". No regrets. In fact, I have the rear observation and side cams. This is a shot from the driver's side cam:
Works perfectly fine for my needs, the night vision is actually quite good, and I like the microphone feature when Nikki is helping back.Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

Furrion 7
Glad to hear your Furrion installation worked out. We returned from a camping trip today. Travel was about 3.5 hours each way. My new Furrion 7" camera sustem did not miss a beat. I have not had the opportunity to try the night vision yet. The last setup (non-Furrion) on my last camper never worked properly even after many modifications.

Ha! I actually made that custom mount to fit my RAM and attach the Furrion screen during the lockdown! I had previously modified a Bayou Goat mount and the Furrion desk stand to sit there as a quick solution, but it left the screen vibrating too much.
Yes, the unfortunate thing with the Furrion is that you have little control over the screen splitting. I actually have a 4th camera that I made portable and multi-purpose by making it a magnetic mount and soldering on a standard 12VDC power adapter. I can stick it on the wheel well in the bed to help me align so I can land on the goose ball faster or I can stick it on the rear of cargo trailer.Rob & Nikki + Cloverfield

I finally got around to installing it over the weekend. It works very well. I did have a signal drop off after I initially installed it on Saturday and ordered the antenna booster for $18 CAD or about $12 USD right away. Noticed on Sunday that the antenna was touching the trailer so positioned it correctly so now nice strong signal. I also noticed that when I took the trailer back to storage last night that I still got a reasonable signal at 55 MPH. All in all I am very happy with it so far and for the money can't go wrong. I still have the antenna booster on order. Figure for $18 bucks can't go wrong and it will give better signal while driving if I need it.
