If you're looking at the Haloview mc7108, take a look at the mc7109 also. The mc7109 is newer and has the antenna shooting out the side, which cleanly clears the Furrion Sharkfin.
I ordered and returned the mc7108 and adapter bracket once I realized the 7109 is a much better fit. Plug into the adapter wire, tighten four screws and you're done. No removing the sharkfin and having to seal the resulting holes.
The problem with the MC7108 is the antenna sticks straight out of the top and doesn't allow it to tilt up enough before the antenna hits the shark fin. So, you're stuck with a view of the immediate back of your trailer and can't see the road behind you. They also have an option for two trailer side marker light cameras. The 7" monitor is supposed to allow you to see all three at the same time.

Agreed, if you always have a spotter, you probably don't need one. I backed into a site by myself once this season, and it came in handy on my 5th wheel.

I got the 4UCam. The monitor is a bit larger than I'd like, but it does make it easy to see what's going on behind. It comes with a housing to fit the Furrion mount. I think I'm going to get the 2m extended antenna because the signal can drop out occasionally at highway speed, especially in rainy weather.

We have the Furion and use it quite a bit. It’s set up so that I have a full view behind/beside when going down the road. I don’t notice any delay in the signal, it just has a low frame-rate. It probably sends about 15 frames per second, compared to 30 or more on a regular television. The picture looks a little jerky, but it seems to be on-time delivery.
We keep the monitor down on the console, just under the dash. I don’t need to look at it all the time, so it’s out of the way down there. I keep the GPS up on the dash, in the shallow bay that Fords have, and the TPMS is down on the console, next to the camera monitor.
I don’t use it much, when backing, as my wife is my spotter. It does let me keep an eye on her when she moves around the back of the trailer. If I can’t see her, either in my mirrors or on the camera monitor, I don’t move.Tom and Janice (known as Tom in PGH on the “other” forum)

I have the Haloview MC7109. The difference between it and the MC7108 is it has a mounting bracket that replaces the Furrion bracket. I installed it myself in about 30 minutes. Could have done it faster but I kept dropping the screws. Tiny screws - fat fingers.
I ordered mine direct from Haloview because you couldn't buy the MC7109 on Amazon at the time. They threw in an antenna extension. Mine works well without the extension and I use it like a rear view mirror. It's nice being able to see the vehicles behind the trailer. There is a slight delay and I may hook up the antenna extension to see if that solves the problem.2021 Imagine XLS 17MKE

I also have the Tadi Brothers rear view camera and they sent me the Furrion adaptor bracket and wire.
But, there were no instructions and I assumed it would fit the Furrion shark fin.
I'm installing it nest week when it warms up here some but after reading this thread I guess I have to remove the entire shark fin, not just the inner plate?

We bought a Yakry rear view camera for $99 on Amazon, and it works great. If you contact their customer service (email address in Amazon listing) they will send you an adapter so you can mount it on the Furrion shark fin. I had a problem with their original adapter, but they sent me a replacement right away and all is well.
